When I worked at Taco Bell, I would make food like how I would want it and I would ice and fill drinks how I’d want it: just enough ice and filled to the brim with no overflow or mess. The trick is to tilt the cup and overfill it, so that the foam rolls out of the cup as you’re filling it, then untip it as you top it off. The momentum of the overflow keeps the side clean if you do it right, kind the same energy as snapping off a paper towel or toilet paper from a roll one-handed.
…and they do it with coffee too. 1/2 litre of something that cannot be called coffee… you can see the bottom of your cup through it. recolonise!
No, abondon!
And half a litre isn’t?
Imagine only drinking 250ml of water with a fatty burger and fries. Y’all are dehydrated.
Yeah, but it’s mostly ice.
The real insanity is still using X/Twitter
Ahem, xhitter.
“liter of soda ot once…”
Well, unless you ask for no ice is more like 325oz of soda with 425oz of ice. Yet also cost $3.29 because fuck you.
When I worked there in the uk we used to press S, M, or L and then it would fill most of the way if you had no ice. I’d say 90% soda.
“Then, there is a horrifying 512-ounce version that they call child size. How is this a child-sized soda?”
“Well, it’s roughly the size of a two-year old child, if the child were liquefied. It’s a real bargain at $1.59.”
It’s the size of a small child
It’s insane to me that the US small is almost as big as the UK large.
gEtTiNg R mUneY’s wUrTh!!!
It’s all ice anyway….
You can ask for no ice and get the 1L of soda experience just as it was meant to be
Meant to be, so with cocaine? Awesome!
A lot won’t do that anymore or have an auto size fill that even without ice you’ll get less of a product. Except for self serve stations, in that case, pour away! Oh, though some of them have added rfid tags to the cups so you can only use their cup and for a limited time. Ain’t capitalism grand.
Go to A&W, they never add ice.
I’ve had theaters only allowing one refill, but that was either with a marker to the bottom or honor system (as far as that goes for $8 drinks). But tracking it with a chip is insanity
Capitalism, baby! Every innovation is not for your sake. It’s for their bottom line.
“butbutbut it’s the best economic system ever!” Says every fucking moron that doesn’t understand scientific and technological advancement.
I always do
Fun fact: soda fountain soda is mixed with less water than cans/bottles because it assumes you’ll add ice.
It’s okay. They pack all the US sizes full of ice first, so it’s simultaneously not that bad and a complete rip-off.
They get free refills.
We have that in the UK too
We didn’t when I worked there. We put enough ice in to make it full. Ask for no ice and it’s like 90% full. We just pressed a button. If I was working I’d top up the no ice folk. I’d also let you keep your free coffee stamps after claiming your coffee for free.
Well, you’re not really supposed to drink it all in one sitting. You’re supposed to drink it all in less than a full sitting and then get a free refill to throw out the window on the way back home because the ice melted and you have several liters of cola in your fridge anyway.
Ill take a litre of cola
They don’t have a litre. Just have a large, Farva.
I don’t want a large Farva, I want a god damn liter o cola!
Litre is French for give me some fucking cola before I break vous fucking lips!
Stop with all the shenanigans!
“It’s for a cop”
A what?
Drinking soda regularly (as a replacement to water) is fucking disgusting.
