Yeah, I noticed that too when I was up there this summer. It's the same way in Rhode Island. Strange.

Are they upgrading their regular coffee, or are they adding flavored coffee?

my wife did a consumer research thing for coffee for "a major fast food chain" a few months ago, I guess this is it. She said the coffee was pretty good.

McDonalds is upgrading their coffee to pull in more consumers -- in an attempt to sell them a nice, greasy breakfast meal. That's their only reason for upgrading their coffee.

Actually, it could be a year or so before we start seeing the improved coffee within the McDonalds restaurants. The information on the radio indicated that it wouldn't be a quick rollout.

McDonald's coffee blows compared to DD... and DD dones't make it 20 degrees hotter than it needs to be, like McDonald's does.
