Coke's coke for me. I hate soda from fountains...they never taste right, especially from smaller places (not chains)

Must be the watery ice and paper cup that gives McD Coke that special flavor.
and yes, it is good for some reason.

um, yeah, the syrup switching we did ourselves at the restaurant i worked at. if the syrup was low, it would stay that way for a while.

(I hate when the syrup gets low)

Definately McDonald's coke. The watered down taste is amazing, and it even tastes great after the ice has melted. Meanwhile, I hate bottled coke for some reason; it's too sweet and sticky or something. Canned goes through various phases of delicious and tasteless crap.

I think McDonalds takes regular coke and adds saturated fat to it, so that it fits with the rest of their menu.

As a person that drinks about 2 cans every day, anything that's not bottled from Coke tastes different/wrong to me :p

Coke>Pepsi, but Diet Pepsi>Diet Coke

Mountain Dew>Mellow Yellow, but Diet Dew tastes awful


i actually like McDonalds soft drinks tho, just seems easier to drink than from a bottle (not because i'm lazy, but something with the carbination/sweetness)
