Why Coke Tastes Better at McDonald's
We all know it, that formula at McDonald's,
why that's the best tasting Coke and Diet Coke on the planet.
Why?
They have it because what happens is when you're an establishment, like a restaurant,
you get a formula, like the gun has a blend.
And there's definitely a different formula at McDonald's.
Oh, has there been anything written about this?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, interesting. I didn't know that.
If you drive by a McDonald's and you get a Diet Coke, you'll be like, what the ****?
Okay, typically restaurants get their soda syrups in plastic bags,
but Coca-Cola does something different for McDonald's.
The fast food chain gets their Coke syrup delivered in stainless steel tanks.
According to the New York Times,
the material keeps the soda fresher and your tongue can taste the difference.
A thousand percent it can.
Right, but is it a more potent blend or is it just because it's in the tanks?
I don't know, but it does taste so much better.
It says their filtration system is top tier.
Wow, there's all these articles about it being superior.
And I would say both.
Like regular Coke, you'll all of a sudden you're like, oh man, and Diet Coke.
McDonald's has an article.
McDonald's does.
It says, there are many reasons the Coca-Cola tastes so great at McDonald's.
We simply follow the guidelines set by Coca-Cola and take steps to ensure that
we serve a high quality fountain beverage.
Well, congratulations, you do that.
Yes.
The water and Coca-Cola syrup are pre-chilled before entering our
fountain dispensers with the ratio syrup set to allow for ice to melt.
Oh, so that it doesn't get watered down with the ice.
So they are making it stronger.
But that's smart.
Doesn't this tell you something, though, that how everything is in the details?
Mm-hmm.
I mean, like, this is something that probably a restaurant would be like,
Coca-Cola would say, you should do this.
And they go, whatever.
Right.
You know, like, whatever, we'll just put it in the gun.
But I believe that McDonald's sticks to that because it is consistent
and it is so much different tasting.
Even what they said about their straws.
Yeah.
So their straws are typically wider than the typical straw.
So you have a different amount coming in.
Yeah.
Give it to me.
Right in my face hole, you fuckheads.
Fuck my mouth with Coke.
Yeah.
Big old fat tube of it.
So ******* good.
Extra syrupy.
Because what if the ice melts?
Yeah.
What if the ice melts?
Even their ice is better there.
They have better ice?
They have better ice.
They have filtered water, they said.
There you go.
By the way, we're not paid by McDonald's for this.
No.
I don't even eat that stuff.
But if I did, it's filet of fishes.
I could eat five of those fuckers.
I love filets of fishes.
I don't even know what that is.
McDonald's has this thing too where there's a temperature swing
where it goes from being the best thing you can eat at that moment
to like, this is dog food.
You're like, throw this down.
I was in California a few months ago and I had a quarter pounder.
It was actually quite a while ago, 10 months ago.
I had a quarter pounder for the first time in ******* forever.
But I was starving and I had to eat and I was heading to the airport.
I'm like, let me just pull in this drive-thru real quick and get a quarter pounder.
It's so sweet.
I could taste the sugar in a quarter pounder.
Their bread even is, I think, sweet.
Yeah, it tasted like a pastry.
I was like, this is interesting.
It was very good.
I enjoyed it.
I really did.
I'm a quarter pounder fan.
I don't know what they're doing, but it's ******* delicious.
That's the thing I think you really notice about certain foods
when you stay away from them for a while
is that when you reintroduce them, you go,
oh, I didn't realize that this tastes way different.
Yeah, way different.
I thought it was going to taste like an In-N-Out cheeseburger, like a cheeseburger.
Like In-N-Out is the gold standard for me.
For fast food places, you can't **** with In-N-Out.
But they have a standard.
And Five Guys.
They have standards.
I mean, In-N-Out has high standards.
Oh, yeah.
Whether or not they are for your palate, you can't negate that they have high standards.
Some people hate their fries.
I know.
How can you hate their fries?
You see them chop the potatoes in the back.
I just wish they did it in beef tallow, because they do it in some bullshit seed oils.
That's what they-
Yeah, I'm sure.
What does In-N-Out use oil for their fries?
Everybody uses canola oil, which is basically industrial lubricant.
That stuff was invented to lube up machines.
Really?
Sunflower oil.
Sunflower oil, same ----.
You're not supposed to get that much sunflower oil in your body at one point in time.
It's not normal.
But they definitely, I've seen-
Sounds healthy, doesn't it?
It does, actually.
Sunflower sounds good.
That ----'s not healthy.
They watch them, they're chopping the produce right there.
Oh, yeah, right in front of you, right in front of you.
The meat is fresh, it's not frozen, and you can taste it.
Nice biblical verse on the bottom of the cup.
Oh, that's so sweet.
It's beautiful.
You know what I love?
Flying Dutchmans.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's what I get.
The secret menu.
Yeah, that's what I get.
The secret menu is really fascinating.
They have it-
I know, it's wild.
Animal style and all that jazz.
Yeah, nothing's on, not printed though.
Yeah, how do you find that out?
I don't know somebody.
Yeah, somebody told me about it the first time, and then I googled it.
And it's much more extensive than you, it's not like two or three things.
Oh, yeah, it's a ---- ton of things.
It's a lot of things, yeah.
Things I've never even heard of before.
Yeah, it's a lot.
Yeah.
Yeah, but it's ******* delicious.
I'm a fan.
I also love-
It is such a different taste though than a McDonald's burger.
McDonald's burger is like, it was sweet.
I'd like to know how much, how many grams of sugar is in a quarter pounder?
I'm telling you, it's gotta be from that bread too.
It's gotta be from everything.
It seems like it's from the ketchup too.
It seemed like the condiments had some sugar.
Higher sugar content.
Yeah, it just tasted like it had sugar in it.
I'm real sensitive to that.
So I eat it, I'm like, ooh.
It was good though.
I also love a Chick-fil-A sandwich.
Ooh, I love a Chick-fil-A.
Yeah.
I love your wife's joke about them.
She's so funny, man.
She's great.
Oh, she's so funny.
10 grams.
10 grams of sugar.
Eat it with those, that might be the bread.
Okay, so it's two natural and eight added.
So it must be eight grams of sugar in the bread.
Yeah.
That's in a quarter pounder?
Yeah, that's kind of a lot.
Yeah.
Like a really sugary drink.
Maybe it's the ketchup.
Yeah, that's what I was saying too.
I felt like the ketchup was kind of sweet.
So it's probably the bun and the ketchup.
Good though.
So good.
It's a good move to put that eight grams in there.
Yeah, it's so ******* good.
If you're only looking for something delicious.
You ever heard of McDonald's secret menu?
No.
What?
They have some weird ---- on here like this.
The Land, Sea and Air Burger?
It's a Chick-fil-A chicken and burger.
Whoa.
The difference is though, I feel like if you-
They'll stab you if you order that.
Yeah, if you order that, first of all, I think they'd be like,
the **** are you talking about?
Look at this McCreep.
The McGangbang?
Shut the **** up.
There's no way.
Come on.
I think these are real, I swear.
Are you serious?
I don't know which place is going to really know about them,
but I've seen people ask, like,
they follow through with a video and go ask for some of this stuff.
What?
There's a weird viral thing going on right now with them
because they have a Grimace milkshake.
Yeah.
People are making some crazy videos about what happened to me after I-
Oh, like Red Band did with-
100%.
Yeah.
What happened?
Red Band did with Pepsi Spice?
No.
Did you never knew about that?
No.
It's the greatest troll Red Band ever pulled off.
Really?
Red Band bought pepsispice.com
and then he documented his enjoying delicious Pepsi Spice.
And so as he's drinking Pepsi Spice, he's losing weight.
He's getting blood in his diarrhea.
He's dying.
At the end, he's making videos.
This is like young Red Band.
Pepsi Spice project promo.
I don't know what this has to do with anything.
What does it have to do with?
Is he blowing himself?
He's in the bathroom doing stuff.
So he's filming himself drinking Pepsi Spice with himself.
So anyway, he bought pepsispice.com
and he had to give it to Pepsi after a while.
Oh, really?
But I mean, I think it still exists somewhere online.
But they came to him and they were like,
hey, you ************, we'll kill you.
Because it went viral at the time, like whatever viral is in the year 2001.
Imagine the threat from a corporation like that.
The Pepsi Spice Project.
Yeah.
It's very funny.
He continues to add, I liked the stamp yesterday.
I'm afraid to have sex.
I keep thinking that my over-caffeinated sperm
would blow a hole through the back of a girl's head.
It's just so stupid.
So stupid.
But that's the funnest thing to do is a stupid bit.
