After the coke is mixed it's sent through a warmer for packaging. It's only cold while it's being canned and warm until you refrigerate it yourself. She's doing this for clout, unless it's expired by a lot, it makes no difference.

I work at a restaurant, we don't store our coke in the fridge, unless we're cooling it down to serve. I grew up in East Africa and some people don't ever refrigerate their soda at all (cultural things, many ppl don't like cold drinks at all, just room temp)

I love how she explains how the longer it marinades the better but she never explains what marinating a can of coke even does, makes it colder?

[@Kingbimmy]

Literally nothing 😭 Once anything reaches the highest point of cold it can get in a fridge, it’s not like it can magically get even colder. Also definitely doesn’t make it more “crisp”. Think about how much time has likely passed from when it was canned to when it was purchased. It’s not like whiskey or wine or something, where the longer you leave it, the better it becomes. It’s so fascinating how people can come up with absolute nonsense and think they’re innovating 😂 Only thing I can think of is if you haven’t had a coke in several days, and you crave it, your brain kinda tricks you into thinking it’s better than it actually is. There’s no difference, you’ve just gone for longer without it, so when you do get it, you appreciate it more. But if you’re drinking it every day? 💀💀💀

3:12 Ayo I actually cold brew tea in my fridge… just set it and forget it for like 4-7 hours depending on what you throw in: Herbals take less time and caffeinated on the longer end. I used to do small individual “brews” but now I do a big batch in a glass jar that hardly fits in the fridge. If you’re worried about plastics from tea bags you’re not using heat so… don’t think it’s as bad but I also use a bit of loose leaf now. Overall a way milder flavor but still bold just not as harsh. Just be careful since it can cause “tea drunkenness” which is just a mild state of euphoria. Never experienced it till I made tea like that. Either way ig I’m no different. Honestly suggest picking up a dumb habit like it though. Makes you feel like an alchemist atop just being a nice treat.
