Another factor (one that is a company secret.) is what’s the soda water to syrup ratio. Most restaurants just have a large bottle of soda water that the dispenser mixes with syrup to make the soda and the ratio can be adjusted.

In Germany, Restaurants have to fill up the amount of drink that’s written on the cup first, then add ice. It’s that simple ^^

[@jakegarrett8109]

That makes it difficult to not splash the soda though, and then you end up with sticky soda droplets (which will fly up to even the ceiling due to carbonation and probably some physics effect of rapid thermal change). It makes more sense to have a consistent ice scoop size and then deduct approximate amount for total soda value from a filling logistical standpoint. Either way, you're still getting a highly over-market priced drink. I'm a little surprised the Germans wouldn't consider the mixing density of the soda (you might notice some places have stronger flavor than others, you can tweak the mix concentration), because that's probably more important than just how much ice because that's the difference of watered down vs still nice and strong even after some ice has melted. Technically I think that's suppose to be calibrated by the drink union supplier, but they either don't have a well calibrated tongue or don't have a standard test machine.

Many years ago, he would often go to the local McDonalds and get some work done on his laptop. He would always get the “largest Diet Coke they had” and stay there for HOURS, taking advantage of the free refills. Several months later, we went in to that McDonalds as a family to discover a sign on the drink machine: “Limit ONE free dine in refill per guest per day”. We just looked at my dad, somehow knowing he was the cause of this new policy 😂😂 He never went back to that McDonald’s again.

[@lavanyagovindarajulu2606]

wow...

[@HR-wd6cw]

This is why you either get the drink yourself (inside) or in some cases, ask for no ice. Whether the volumes are different, sometimes if you ask for no ice, if they're nice enough they'll fill it up to the top with just soda and you may be getting anextra 4-6 oz of sode as some will put excessive amounts of ice in the larger cups to make up for it. The advantage of in-door dining where you get it yourself though is you can refill as much as you want (at least in the US in many chains, I heard that in other countries, this is not allowed).

[@Skye_Writer]

Actually, if you order it with no ice, it's company policy to fill the cup to the top. The restaurant doesn't want to deal with angry customers clogging up the drive thru complaining that the employees only filled their cups 3/4 full. Before the drinks became so automated as they are at McDonald's now, we were always told to put half a scoop of ice in small cups, a full scoop in medium, and 2 scoops in large. You would then set the drink cup under the fountain and choose the button for the correct cup size, then the dispense button. To make up for any variable in the amount of ice (light ice or no ice requests), there was a "free flow" button the employee would hold down to finish filling the cup. It was always supposed to be full enough that it would slosh against the lid without much shaking, but not so full that putting a straw in the lid made it leak out.

Funny you say that... I made that same conclusion years ago... I often asked "why the ice when the drink is already cold?"... It's actually a marketing ploy... More ice, less drink, greater markup on the price... Looking at the McDonald's drinks for example, you get one third glass of ice, and two thirds glass of drink... Hence needing two refills to get the drink at cost... But I'm d you get that same drink with no ice, your getting it now on a 1-1 ratio... You're only paying for the contents, not the void created by the ice...

How about a “theory” about why fountain soda, bottle soda and can soda all taste different.

[@goldkat99]

Its because when you get soda its water that's been added to flavor syrup. different fountains use different amounts of syrup to water. Mcdonalds interestingly uses a lot of syrup to water for a better taste, so thats another reason to get a soda there aside from quantity. But even bottled soda and canned soda has been made locally in a bottling plant in your area as its cheaper to ship the syrup and mix it with local water than it is to ship the whole soda. I don't know why bottled and canned soda would taste different however as aluminum cans actually contain a thin plastic lining so both sodas are being stored inside plastic.

[@kingzach74]

They taste different because of a few different factors. 1. Most restaurants use as little syrup as possible to squeeze every cent they can. 2. The kind of container can dramatically affect the taste of the drink(i.e. paper, plastic, metal or glass). 3. Depending on the drink or where it is from, depends on whether it uses Aspartame, Sugar(or cane), or some other sweetener. "Mexican Coke" as it is called in Nevada, is featured in only glass bottles and is ONLY sweetened with Cane Sugar. This means to some people it tastes better than the high fructose varieties(I definitely prefer Mexican Coke).

[@bloodycinephile]

If you drink fountain soda from the straw then it's cause drinking liquid from a straw mask the taste.

[@InsaneGreatsword]

Yes please

[@arcticfox5118]

Also keep in mind a lot of these places have fluid lines that dont get properly cleaned every single night as they should as often as not. Bacteria can build up which changes the flavors as well, there is also what type of line is used as some palces may use a cheaper non food grade line to save money that can leach chemicals into the product being served.

2:13 I used to work as a shift manager at a pizzeria, and while we sold large fountain drinks for $1.99 back then, the actual food cost was a mere 10¢. This includes the cost for the paper goods - the single-color 32oz paper cup, plastic lid and straw, as well as the syrup, water, carbon dioxide, and ice. Hence, we managers were given a LOT of leeway to offer drinks to guests on the house while they wait for their take-out orders. Even when someone showed up very early for their pizza, and even said "Sorry I'm here so early, I know I just called it in 5 minutes ago", we would still just practically hand them out free soda, because the now-increased potential for their return business was absolutely worth more to us than a 10¢ soda! 10¢ was our food cost for a single soda, and the majority of that cost actually goes into the paper goods. For comparison, a kid's drink comes in a small 12oz cup, but because it has quite a few different colors on it, it costs a lot more to produce. Therefore, the food cost of a kid's drink was actually 39¢! Which is also why when people asked for just a cup for water, and started instinctively reaching for the kid's cup, we stopped them and instead either offered them an 8oz plastic up, or a 32oz medium cup. Also, for the reasons mentioned above, I absolutely do NOT respect places which do not offer free refills, especially ones which charge more than $2.50, even $3+ for a fountain drink. And even worse is when this happens at a sit-down restaurant which uses reusable cups, because there is NO paper goods cost other than the straw!

As a burger king employee that works in England, I can say that here it really depends on the employee and the machine.

As someone who has worked in fast food, I never thought of ice vs soda as a thing, Because no company carefully measures how much ice they are putting into the cup and carefully making sure how much soda you get, It honestly is just however much ice that employee decided to quickly scoop up therefore that's why I just think the employee that is working at the time is what really mattered most therefore this experiment was kinda pointless

[@kailomonkey]

@@GoLeafszGo That makes sense but if results were consistent across multiple branches, something must be affecting the ice ratio less directly/precisely. Perhaps the volume of ice supplied or subtleties in training and management.

[@iAmMsCrap]

I nearly always ask for no ice when i get drinks. Cuz every drink u get from a soda fountain is already ice cold when it comes out anyways (this does not apply to those iced tea dispensers some places have fwi cuz those are always warm without ice) and i usually finish the drinks before theyd even have a chance to warm up anyways

[@BlakeHelms]

One thing to keep in mind if ordering a Coke from McDonalds. The syrup mixture is set a little high on the syrup to account for the fact that ice will melt and dilute it. So if you order without ice then it may be a little stronger syrup taste. On the plus side. McDonalds is the only major restaurant that refrigerates it’s syrup and insulates the lines so that no ice Coke will be colder than other restaurants. These are all factors into why Coke at McDonalds taste better.

[@kuebby]

Fascinating, thanks for those little tidbits. I can't stand McD's but I'll stop there for a soda if I'm on the road and just need a drink.

[@ryancoplan4671]

Coca-Cola is serious about mixes. If advertised and sold as Coke they will come by with a little device that splits the syrup from the soda water as part of routine checks to make sure an establishment is within' specs. In a bar environment it splits at the handheld gun thingy and measures the ratio. They are also cool about adding another gun, or even ice, sink and drain bins - whatever helps sell more Coke. Oh, and do not mix Pep products on the gun or support is out along with discounts though this may be hidden. They do allow a couple things.... Lemonade needs to be Coke Minute Maid but there are a couple exceptions especially where a local beverage has roots. In general they do not like sharing the runs.

[@cliffcorson4000]

McDonald's uses a system known as a "multiplex" that chills the water and carbonator pumps, not the soda syrups. Both sets of lines meet up at the drink machines and are combined at the faucet head. In the drive thru ABS (automated beverage system) a set amount of ice is dispensed into cup, unless no ice is selected, and then the soda is dispensed into the cup An item many don't consider at restaurants however is sizes are not consistent. At McDonald's the sizes are 12oz(kids meal), 16, 22, 30oz for cokd drinks; 12, 16, 22oz for OJ, coffee, mccafe, and shakes, and 22, 30oz for Iced Coffee.

0% complicated. Last week I went to Whataburger and ordered a Honey BBQ chicken strip sandwich. One of the reasons I order that is because I don’t have to order it special at all. When I got home, I found they had given me a plain double cheeseburger.

If it's bk, a burger with no tomato. Every time my dad orders a burger from BK it has tomatoes, every time. He always asks for no tomato.

There's good reasons why I always ask for "no ice" in my drink. First, water dilutes the soda...Second, they actually fill the cup so I get a lot more for the same price...

@@kingqasmoke2802 I love the weird kickback to that response that was going around for a bit; people were memeing on people who ask for no ice with, "It CoMeS OuT oF tHe FoUnTaIN CoLd" and I'm sitting there thinking, "well, yeah, it does."

@@PokeMultiverse Seriously, I've ordered drinks with no ice my whole life. I've only gotten a warm drink once. Ever.

many burger king around where i live do they have the soft drink fountain accessible to customers to self-fill, however burger king does not have the fountain drink machine out for self serve in a city as their suburban franchisee stores
