tkim: That must tbe the McDonalds in your area. I'm not a big McDonalds fan, but I have to say, the one's around here have the best soda of any fast food place. It is never watered down, and always has a nice carbonated kick to it. Of course, 90% of the McDonalds franchises around here are owned by the same guy, so I'm sure that has something to do with it. He must be a real stickler for the quality of the soda.
