Why does a plastic fizzy drink bottle usually feel warmer than a metal can of drink even if they are at the same tmeperature?

The plastic drink bottle feels warmer than a metal can because the metal can has a higher thermal conductivity compared to the plastic drink bottle. Thermal conductivity is the property of a substance to conduct heat, and the metal can, being made of metal, has a much higher ability to conduct heat compared with the plastic bottle. This means that when you touch the metal can, it draws out your own body heat faster than than when you touch the plastic bottle, so the can feels cooler.
