I could see this turning into a disaster for Coca Cola Inc.
We’re I another franchisee receiving plastic bags, I might consider a switch to stainless steel cannister storage upon delivery. If it could be done conveniently.
I was a Pizza Hut cook in the early ‘80s, and we used steel tanks, too. Of course, we carried Pepsi products.
I worked in fast food in 1983-84 (Not McDonalds) and I recall us using the stainless steel tanks for the fountain drinks. I guess over the years restaurants got away from those tanks to increase profit margin.
You know, if McDonald’s would cut their menu in half, bring back the heat lamps, the fries cooked in beef tallow and cottonseed oil, and stop being politically correct, they would be having record sales. Ever since they pandered to the Left and got rid of what worked, I’ve stopped eating there.
Employees spit in it?
Great systems are fine, but you need reasonable competent people to keep them running.
Why can’t I find a McDonalds that serves Root Beer?
Time to Google it.
Try one at in-n-out burger. They gotta be doing something with their cokes as well.
Their coffee’s good too... probably similar quality controls... but their fries still suck.
I don’t know about McDonald’s, but it explains somewhat why Coke always tasted different at the theaters long ago.
Interesting.
worked fast food and other places that serve fountain sodas. the biggest problem with most places is that they don’t properly clean the fountain drink dispenser. the lines that the syrup pas through needs to be flushed at the end of the say otherwise you have a problem with bacteria growing in the lines. this bacteria is not at a level that is dangerous but it does effect the flavor of what ever sugar based soft drink is being dispensed.
Vanilla Coke tastes similar to McDonalds Coke IMO.
"No Coke. Pepsi!"
I’ve always been a Pepsi man.
That’s in part because McDonald’s filters their water many times over to maintain consistent flavor and quality. How shall I say this......BULLSHIT! Many times over my posterior, the water is filtered through standard filters which are used by probably every other large retailer selling sodas.
In addition to pre-chilling their syrup and filtering their water through an advanced system, McDonald’s also keeps the water for their sodas incredibly cold. Insulated tubes carry water that’s stored at just above freezing from the fridge in the back of the restaurant to the fountain drink dispenser in the front. That's a new one on me, In the three restaurants I ran all were equiped with Multiplex beverage systems which used a chilled water bath to supply the cold water as well as the low temperature require to carbonate it, and none of it went through the walk-in. https://mcd.welbilt.us/Brands/Multiplex
The temperature of the water is also optimized for peak carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. Indeed, CO2 doesn’t escape as easily from really cold liquids, Let's chalk this up to no shit Sherlock, it's called basic beverage science and why when the chillers are down you get warm flat beverages where ever you are!
And don't even get me started on the straw bullshit, the straws are round, measured in their diameter, not wideness, and are the diameter they are so you can suck the, what used to be thick tasty shakes through them and had nothing to do with the sodas.
Okay, I ranted enough, it pisses me off when people make shit up about something they have no real knowledge of.
Raises hand.............
Tanks are heavy, costly and take more storage. Besides, its the CO2 that matters.
