Lately we’ve been enjoying “McQuads”. We order McDoubles off our apps ($1 thru 12/31), sometimes without onions so they are fresh. We get rid of the bottom bun and fold them in half. Not bad for a quick meal. And almost as much meat as a quarter pounder (.20 lb vs .25, pre-cooked)

“medium Coke, please”

Well, since the large is the same price or cheaper than the medium at McDonald’s, anyone who orders a medium is likely not very good with math.

He asked Coca-Cola to join him on the adventure, and they agreed. The two have been inseparable since.

Ford Motor Co. and Firestone Tire and Rubber Co. had that kind of relationship at one time.

I know McDonald’s Coke tastes different, but I don’t always see it as better.

My pop preference is Mountain Dew. There is a definite hierarchy of flavors.

Fountain>can>plastic bottle>glass bottle

Of course, the don’t make glass bottles anymore but there was a significant difference.

I can definitely taste the difference between old style soda fountains and the current ones.

There was a distinctive fizz with a crisper taste to the older ones. I’m assuming that the plastic bags and plastic mixer parts that have all come into play over the years have had an impact on that ... making it taste different across the board.

Even McDs doesn’t have the same robust fizziness it used to have, though it is closer than the rest.

Nonsense. McDonald’s Coke is the WORST. Barely drinkable unless there’s a lot of ice.

The flavor is much better when you add 2 shots of Gosling’s.

It’s just that they use the common, high fructose corn-syrup version of Coke. It leaves a sour aftertaste and is horrible for your health.

Those of use who grew up on original Coke made with real cane sugar hunt for it where it can be found. Real sugar Coke is kosher; you can often buy it in our large grocery chains around Passover time. Also,some Hispanic bodegas sell it because it is bottled in Mexico.

No HFCsyrup Coke can beat that flavor of real cane sugar.
