After trying them in the mountains, I think Carbonated Beverages were better closer to sea level.

  there’s no comparison…

  a cold one on the beach is good but if you’re hiking up into the mountains and when you get to your campsite and open a lukewarm beer … that beer is so good

  not much can compare

  ok so this example only pertains to backpacking but I stand firm on it

    warm whisky is fucking awesome after a couple miles of backpacking, just another fyi

    If you ever stay at an alpine lake, bring a mesh bag and store them in the lake. Nice cold beverages.

  That makes sense, being up in the mountains makes a lot of other things seem flat by comparison.

  Agree. I don’t know if it’s reality or if my mind is making things up, but carbonated beverages have a lot more of that fizzy feeling when closer to sea level, and that is the entire reason I drink them over other beverages.

  I have lived both in the mountains of Appalachia and below sea level in New Orleans.

  The higher you go the less air pressure there is to keep the carbonation in the liquid. This definitely affects taste.

  Even slight elevation changes (roughly 10-25 meters imo) fizzes out fatser

  People in the mountains generally don’t drink a lot of soda

    So there is this place called The Rocky Mountains, particularly adjacent the entire Denver metropolitan area, and it’s got both people and soda in no short supply, friend. If you ever plan a trip through there, maybe a day between flights, check out some of the national parks in the area.

  Maybe this is my unpopular opinion, but Dr. Pepper out of a can on a plane at cruising altitude (~8000ft elevation equivalent) tastes way better to me than anywhere on the ground. I call it my magic sky juice. Dr. Pepper is really the only soda I enjoy, anyway.

  I am unsure if there are any other changes made to the cans of soda they serve on planes, like a different carbonation pressure, etc. that might make a difference instead of just the altitude.

    Plane Cabins are pressurized.

      Yeah but not to sea level pressure. Cruising above 10,000ft, planes are required to maintain an internal pressure equal to that of 8000ft or less, and it's usually close to that 8000ft, because that takes the least energy.

      See "Need for pressurization".

      The difference in apparent altitude is why your ears pop when ascending or descending.
