McDonald's Coke Tastes Better?

A fun fact.

Based on the two referenced articles, here are some reasons why McDonald’s coke stands out.

• Stainless Steel Syrup Storage – Unlike other restaurants that use plastic bags, McDonald’s partners with Coca-Cola and stores syrup in stainless steel tanks, keeping it fresher and better protected from external factors.

• High-Quality Water Filtration – McDonald’s filters its water thoroughly, ensuring a consistent and clean taste in every location.

• Pre-Chilled Syrup – The syrup is stored cold before being mixed, unlike other places where it sits at room temperature.

• Optimized Syrup-to-Water Ratio – McDonald’s adjusts the ratio to account for ice melt, preventing the drink from becoming too diluted.

• Pre-Chilled Water – Water used in the soda fountain is kept just above freezing through an insulated tube, maintaining cold temperatures for better carbonation (The colder temperatures allow for more CO2, keeping the Coke crisp and bubbly for longer.).

• Wider Straws – McDonald’s straws are slightly wider than average, enhancing the taste experience by allowing more flavor to hit your taste buds at once.
