Yes, I agree with you. Coke from a bottle/can taste better than from a plastic bottle. I do get the same cravings at times. Presently its ice cream soda....
Bottles can contain trace particles etc given off from the plastic. In fact, they recently warned that any recycling plastic over the recycling number 5 gives off toxic gases/particles into whatever food is stored in them (or even if you poor a drink into a cup made from it). Under 4 can also have trace particles in it, but they are apparently not toxic (or so I read).
Alumunium cans give off trace elements of aluminium which is bad for the brain.
Both of those could give off slight taste differences where as glass does not.
There is one small caveat to all this though. In the old days (when I was young ... once at band camp) The newspaper reported an incident where someone had used coke bottles to store lead before they returned them for their deposit. As they only used to wash the bottles in those days (and not melt them down again for re-use) two boys ended up getting the contaminated bottles and died of lead poisoning as a result. So, if they only WASH returned bottles in a country, be wary that they may contain contaminates.
Half (Is that you Half Man Half Biscuit??) - FireAngel has been to Australia, so she is probably used to drinking her wine that way. Cask wine comes in a box, and inside the box is a plastic bag full of wine. So maybe she is used to drinking a bag of wine. :-)
Kickapoo Joy juice is still around???? OMGoodness!!!!
I remember when I had my first one in either KL or Singapore (1970 or 71 ... or 72). lol I hated it. Haven't had it since. I should try it again in January to see if my taste has changed! :-)
