The thing that pisses me off, is while I don’t eat McDonald’s so it doesn’t directly affect me, I just know that other restaurants will see that it’s making them more money and will follow suit.
In many rural areas, they have run out the mom & pop stores, plus people will pay for convenience, so I expect that they expect to totally get away with this.
Let’s hope it forces then to fail faster.
I like frappes when I’m on the road but I always fill up on soda before I leave. If they stop soda I’ll just go to another place that offers me a drink for my extended trips. They are already in decline to burger King and dominos apparently.
That is soooo much sugar you are consuming. Even a small frappe is 10-15 sugar cubes. Add in a soda and you are looking at another 10-15. Maybe refill with water.
I kind of view this as a good thing, honestly. People do not need another 20 oz of sugar water. A medium Coke has 12-15 sugar cubes worth of sugar. The US is pretty much the only place where free refills are common.
Jesus how cheap could they be? Fountain drinks are far and away their highest profit margin item on the menu.
