Why do glass bottles hold soda cold longer than cans?

Answer 1

Drinks would stay cooler for a longer time if it is in a bottle. This is because bottles are insulators of heat. So they slow down the heat from reaching the liquid in it. As in cans, which are metal, they are conductors of heat. So heat penetrates easier to the liquid thus making the drink to loose it's coldness faster. So my bet is that drinks stay cooler in a bottle.

Answer 2

Since aluminum is a far better conductor of heat and cold than plastic, the liquid inside an aluminum container will warm up faster than in the better insulated plastic container. Also, an aluminum can will feel colder to the touch because aluminum conducts the cold, from the liquid inside to your fingers on the outside, much faster than plastic.

Answer 4

Soda pop will stay colder longer in a glass bottle, provided that the pop was in the glass bottle when it was in the refrigerator.

Glass retains temperature longer than plastic. This means that a plastic bottle will reach room temperature before a glass bottle at the same temperature. Since the pop is surrounded by the bottle, the temperature of the bottle effects the temperature of the pop more than anything else.

Answer 5

Glass is a better insulator of heat than aluminum (or any metal). By the same token, it will also take longer to cool.
