It's an indisputable fact that Coke and Diet Coke tastes way better at McDonald's than it does if you bought it at the store. I don't make the rules, it just does!
But I'm excited to tell you that there is actually a REASON McDonald's soda tastes so dang good — actually, several. Spoon University did a little digging into what makes us all so thirsty for their beverages, and found some interesting answers.
It all starts with how the soda syrup is stored — in stainless steel containers, not plastic bags, which is typically the norm.
Next, McDonald's filters its water differently (and more so) than most other fast food restaurants.
McDonald's keeps its soda extra chilly, which means happier taste buds.
And the fast food company also PRE-CHILLS its syrup. The cold never bothered us anyway, especially our taste buds.
Finally, I know straws are Public Enemy Number One right now, but McDonald's extra-wide straws make the last little bit of difference.
OK, who else is thirsty now?!
