Thoughts? I am currently trying to avoid using plastic packed drinks as much as possible due to it’s limited and finite recycle count

There must be more to it than this. As a Dr. Pepper connoisseur I can tell you that Dr. Pepper from a can tastes far superior than from a bottle.
It’s a different type of plastic, AFAIK it’s like a spray on polymer for the aluminum cans; But I think the biggest factor is probably UV degradation of the ingredients in the soda with the clear plastic bottles.
It’s a different type of plastic because it doesn’t need to be structural. Plastic bottles use PET, cans use a variety but I’m commonly seeing BPA.
Maybe it’s for the same reason Moscow Mules are served in copper mugs. The container conducts heat well and therefore feels very cold to the touch when you put your lips on it, which enhances the feeling of it being refreshing.
…which ideally are not copper on the inside to prevent copper from leaching into the acidic beverage you’re drinking.
Honestly same for seltzer/club soda
That says more about the taste of Dr Pepper than it does about the cans 😂
That’s just one example. Back when I still drank soda, I’d take a coke, pepsi, or mt dew in a can over a bottle any day for the same reason.
