How to drink cola well?
is naturally drink while ice.
If you are interested, carefully check the packaging of Coke and you will find that the merchant also specially marked the appropriate drinking temperature of : 3℃ .
So Coke is better on ice, not because of everyone's psychological hints, is real.

I want to ask why Coke tastes better when it is iced, but it is not just because "greedy for coolness" .
has two reasons.
1. Drinking it on ice is more "refresh"
carbonated drinks are so popular because of the unique taste of carbon dioxide in the mouth bursting .
I wonder if you have ever paid attention to it. The taste of Coke at room temperature is generally more "multicultural" . After a large mouthful, you can only drink a mouthful of foam.
In contrast, the foam of ice cola seems to be "stimulating" , and it is much more delicious.
This is because the solubility of carbon dioxide will change with temperature changes. The lower the temperature of , the stronger the solubility .
The stronger the solubility, the less likely it is to run away, and the more breath it will be.

That is to say: The ice colder the cola, the more the air it is, and it will be more "cheap" to drink.
2. Drink sweeter on ice
Let’s take a well-known cola as an example. Its sweetness comes from F55 fructose syrup and white sugar.

The content of F55 fructose syrup is higher, accounting for about 5%; the content of white sugar is lower, accounting for about 5%.
F55 fructose syrup is
- 5% glucose.
- glass material is relatively stable, resulting in less carbon dioxide leakage during transportation, and the overall "gas is more sufficient" .
- , and cans are usually aluminum, and their anti-carbon dioxide permeability is weaker than glass, but they are stronger than PET, which can prevent carbon dioxide from leaking to a certain extent.
- As for plastic bottles, they are usually made of PET. It is the most carbon dioxide permeability of in these three materials.
Convert, the sweetener composition of Cola is roughly as follows:
Because fructose accounts for the highest proportion, the sweetness of Cola is very similar to fructose.
Fructose has a magical "cold sweet" properties: the lower the temperature of , the higher the sweetness.
When the temperature is low to a certain level, the sweetness can even reach 3 times the .73html of sucrose.
This is because fructose has two molecular configurations: α type and β type .
α type has a high sweetness, three times that of β type. At low temperatures, the beta fructose will be converted to the alpha type, which will increase the sweetness.
Therefore, although the sugar content of iced cola has not changed, it will taste sweeter.
can easily double the "Happiness of a Fat House".

Similarly, the watermelon that everyone likes is better after ice, which is the same reason.
Speaking of this, some smart friends will ask:
is also better to ice, why is Yakult not so sweet after ice?
This is because the composition of sweeteners is different.
The sweetness of Yakult mainly comes from white sugar (sucrose).

Unlike fructose syrup, the temperature of white sugar becomes lower, and the sweetness will decrease slightly.
This causes Yakka at room temperature to taste too sweet, while Yakka after refrigeration to be sweet enough to just the right amount of .
3. "Ice-rich" cola is the best?
A little iced cola is better, but a little iced cola is better?
has a professional concept in food research and development -Bliss point .
As the sweetness of cola increases, consumers will love it more and more.
When the sweetness rises to a certain level, consumers' preference will reach the highest point. This sweetness is the best sensory point of Coke, which is "Bliss Point" .
. When the sweetness of Coke reaches the bliss point, even if the sweetness rises again, it will be difficult to attract consumers' favor and may even cause disgust.
According to Cola's official suggestions, it is not difficult to guess: ℃ should be the bliss of cola's sweetness.
That is to say, the closer the cola is to 3℃, the better it will be.
In order to make the temperature of the cola closer to 3℃, you can try adding some ice cubes to the refrigerated cola.
We do a small test to measure the temperature of refrigerated cola with and respectively. During the test,
, I found that there were not enough ice cubes, so I only had 2 ice cubes in this cup of coke. If you use more ice, the temperature of Coke will be lower.
Results show:
Normal refrigerated cola temperature
Cola temperature with ice cubes.2℃

That is to say, "add ice cola" is closer to 3℃ than "refrigerated cola" , which tastes better.
If you like to drink iceier coke, you can even add a lot of ice cubes like a fast food restaurant.
We have tested it for you. As long as there are too many ice cubes, is completely OK if it is below 2℃.

4. Which packaging of coke is better?
If conditions permit, we suggest you try to replace Coke with Coke in glass bottle, which will taste better.
defines the taste of according to the gas content in cola . The order is roughly as follows:
This has nothing to do with the packaging material of Cola.
The high carbon dioxide permeability makes bubbles leak out of the bottle during transportation and sales of the beverage. What's more serious is that the leakage speed of is much higher than that of glass bottles and aluminum cans. The longer the time, the more gas loss, and the worse the taste.
In remote areas, the logistics turnover time of beverages will be longer, making it easier to buy "insufficient" Coke.
In urban areas, logistics is relatively developed, and the proportion of buying this kind of cola will be much lower.
But even so, as long as you have bought "insufficient" Coke, it will affect everyone's overall impression, making people feel that plastic bottles of Coke are not as good as glass bottles.
Some regrets are that due to the cost of and the convenient transportation of , glass bottles of cola have become increasingly rare.
but it doesn’t matter, you can also choose fast food restaurant to use now. These colas are all filled with carbon dioxide and have a relatively sufficient gas volume, so the taste is second only to that of glass bottles.
I would like to remind everyone that due to poor sealing of paper cups, this kind of coke is very easy to lose air during delivery.
If you want to drink the best taste, it is best to go to the store and ask the clerk to give you a cup of and drink in time.
5. How to drink healthier?
Cola is a carbonated beverage and is acidic.
If you drink cola in large quantities for a long time, it will corrode our enamel to a certain extent, leading to the emergence of " cola tooth ". Specifically, it is manifested as sore teeth, black teeth, and white spots on the tooth surface.
How to avoid it?
A straw. This can reduce the chance of teeth touching beverages and minimize damage to teeth.

Summary the correct posture for drinking cola:
1. Buy a bottle of cola in glass bottle, ice it to 3℃ before drinking, or add a lot of ice cubes before drinking.
2. Go to the fast food restaurant to order a glass of freshly cooked ice coke and drink it in the store.
Of course, everyone has different preferences for things like Coke.
Some people love who have enough , some people love who have no ; some people love who have cool , and some people love cola boiled ginger .
The best drinking posture we listed is only for those who are pursuing a refreshing and stimulating feeling.
At the same time, we would like to remind you that although Coke is delicious, it has a sugar content.
can drink less, but you should drink less.
If possible, suggests that you should "drink more water"~
