McDonald's has some incredibly rigorous requirements and processes to ensure consistent qualities in their Sprite. I have no interest in propping up a giant harmful corporation, but their Sprite really is different.
Random video discussing this: https://youtu.be/ATEMvaOcWWc
The Food Theorist and many others have made videos discussing it as well. A few months ago I saw a particular one explaining the McDonald's process at length, but unfortunately I cannot remember enough details to find the same one again.
Side note: in typing this comment and trying to find relevant videos, I had to type "Sprite" an unreasonable number of times, and not once did my phone's keyboard get it right.
One night, I went to a McDonald's expecting the fabled Sprite I've had before, and I guess their dispenser ran out the syrup. What I got was basically just soda water, and it low-key ruined my night because we got it via drive thru and I didn't take a sip until we got home 🥲
That's a very relatable experience. You have my condolences.
This is the quintessential McDonald's experience. Every time I give in to that random pang of nostalgia, I know I'm in for some kind of disappointment. It might be a broken ice cream machine, an item that's just out that day or been removed from the menu permanently, or something as mundane as having my order screwed up. In that, ironically, it rarely disappoints.
That'll be $28.73 at the second window.
Huh! I had no idea. Thanks for the info and video link!
Happy to spread knowledge!
