[quote elmo3]Yes, it does make a change. That's why it's difficult to do a truly valid taste test.
The only thing to do would be to create a pouring device that poured the same size and volume stream into your open mouth without you touching the original container, and ideally without the liquid touching some sort of pourer.
Sounds like Mythbuster time to me.
But what's the point of it, when the problem is that when you drink from a plastic botle, you taste and feel the plastic?
A glass bottle doesn't collapse when you suck on it, so you can create a better vacuum that feels sooo good when you pull it off your lip. An ice cold glass bottle stays cold on your lips longer than plastic, too. All these tactile sensations add to the enjoyment factor.
Thus proving that I have too much time on my hands this morning.
