(Coke Spiced)
It’s not very good.
It would go well with Thanksgiving and Christmas food. Offsetting flavors.
Hmmm... McDonald’s $5 dollar meal... I can just imagine.
I did and regret it. If you’ve ever gone thru one of those carwashes with the delux foams that smell like air freshener as the smell comes thru the air vents or if you get your car cabin air freshener changed and they foam deodorize the air vents then you’ll know what the taste and aroma of a Coke Spiced. It’s some what like the smell and aroma of Cavendish pipe tobacco, pre smoke and the smoke aroma.
Don’t try it...disgusting. I was expecting more like a clove/cinnamon type flavor which might not have been bad at all.
They make the story about McDonalds but it’s really a statement on how hard inflation is hitting the People - and now we can expect tax increases to try to finish us off.....
“Coca Cola and its franchisees, who run nine in ten restaurants”
Regardless of who owns the corporation McDonalds (it is a publicly traded company), the Coca Cola corporation really runs McDonalds. They get profit from the Coke products sold at McDonalds, which means offering a $5 product line is a loss-leader to them and they make the profits on the drinks. The other 10% of franchisees do not receive any profits from the drinks sold so they cannot afford to offer a loss-leader like the $5 menu.
Market forces to lower prices CANNOT WORK if government price fixing of labor is in play.
Two words: Red Lobster.
My son-in-law used to work for Coke and brought us the trial versions of Coke Spiced last winter-—hard pass.
Fuck that !!! It’d the sodas and fries that make these “meals” so unhealthy!!!!
