Beer vs. Coke

Why does cracking a beer can sound so much different to opening a can of coke?

Both cans, both have the same mechanism yet beer sounds so much nicer to the ears. Why?

I don't drink beer but that sounds highly improbable, sir.

Randomface74 · 16 Nov 2012 at 19:54

because coke is nicer

Sheff · 16 Nov 2012 at 19:55

I think it's because beer is in a bigger can.

Opening a guinness draught, and that reassuring gaseous release from the widget is a much better sound than any beer or coke opening sound.

Doesn't beer have a CO2 squirter thing to make froth, and coke doesn't as the gas is dissolved already.

open a 440 or 500ml can of coke... be surprised /thread

This is so true!

I don't really want to go out tonight, I'd rather stay in with an 8 pack of beer and watch star wars trilogy. Does that make me sad? I'm going out though, I hate clubbing

I do like tarts though. Hmm, better get out the scales and weigh up the options.

Why would one suffer those fat drugs for some of the better fat drugs?

Misleading thread title...

I think a coke can sounds better, but thats just me.

Opening a beer can is usually a dull bass note whereas opening a coke can has lots of treble like a high hat.

Skeeter · 16 Nov 2012 at 21:43

They do Coke in 500ml cans?

MrMarvelous · 16 Nov 2012 at 22:15

Beer cans are bigger and the liquid is denser hence the different sound. Or at least that's what I remember reading about it back in the day.

Surely one of the main reasons is that soft drinks like Coca-Cola are far more carbonated than a larger. While lager has a bit of a fizz to it, it's certainly not the tongue tingler that soft drinks are.

Omaeka · 16 Nov 2012 at 23:37

Cause after a hard days graft, what do you want to sit down with and chill? A can of coke or a crisp can of liquid metal? ;D

rishy · 16 Nov 2012 at 23:40

wouldn't a can of Overclockers Energy Drink be better
