WHAT IS THE EFFECT?
HEAT
PET = FLAT PRODUCT!
TIME
ALWAYSALWAYS
FRESHFRESH
PET = FLAT PRODUCT! WHY?
PET is like a very fine mesh that allows carbon dioxide
gas to pass through (the gas goes out not because of the
pressure in the bottle).
The smaller the bottle the more of the product is in
contact with the surface of the bottle, (relatively), and
the gas is lost faster.
The higher the pressure in the bottle the faster the gas is
lost:
Coca-Cola, Sprite: high carbonation
Fanta: lower carbonation
Higher temperature = higher pressure in the bottle

WHAT IS THE EFFECT?

LIGHT PRODUCTS = BAD TASTE!
TIME
ALWAYSALWAYS
FRESHFRESH
LIGHT PRODUCTS = BAD TASTE! WHY?
Light products do not contain sugar.
Light products contain artificial sweeteners:
Aspartame & Acesulphame-K (Ace-K)
The mixture is used to simulate the taste of sugar, Ace-
K on its own does not taste right.
Aspartame degrades / breaks down over time.
The degradation is accelerated by heat.
When 30% of the aspartame has degraded the product
is noticeably less sweet, becomes bitter.

unhappy about a Coca-Cola product will tell
approximately 50 other people.
