We all know it, that formula at McDonald's.

Why that's the best tasting Coke and Diet Coke on the planet.

They have it, because what happens is when you're in an establishment, like a restaurant, you get a formula.

And there's definitely a different formula at McDonald's.

Oh, has there been anything written about this?

you get a Diet Coke, you'll be like, what the fuck?

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.

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.

Like regular Coke, you'll all of a sudden you're like, oh man.

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.

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 does that smart

is this tell you something though that how everything is in the details?

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.

But I believe that McDonald's sticks to that because it is consistent, and it is so much different tasting.

So their straws are typically wider than the typical straw.

Oh you fuckheads fuck my mouth with coke That tube of it so fucking extra syrup because what if the ice melts What's if the ice melts even their eyes is better there?

They said there you go By the way, we're not paid by McDonald's for this.

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

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 fucking forever Yeah, but I was starving yeah, and I had to eat I was headed to the airport and we were just pulling this drive-thru.

Yeah, I could get a quarter pounder It's so sweet.

Yeah, Like I could taste the sugar in a quarter pounder.

I don't know what they're doing, but it's fucking delicious.

That's the thing I think you really notice about certain foods when you stay away from them for

is that when you reintroduce them, you go, oh, I didn't realize that I was, this tastes 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 fuck with In-N-Out.

Whether or not they are for your palate, You can't negate that they have high standards.

I just wish they did it in beef tallow because they do it

What does In-N-Out use oil for their fries?

Everybody uses canola oil Which is basically industrial lubricant that stuff was invented the lube up machines really Sunflower oil same shit.

Yeah, yeah, I suppose get that much sunflower oil in your body at 1 point in time.

They watch them, they're chopping the produce right there.

Nice biblical verse on the bottom of the cup.

Yeah, somebody told me about the first time and then I googled it and it's it's much more extensive than you It's not like 2 or 3 things.

love- It is such a different taste, though, than a McDonald's burger.

I'd like to know how much, what, How many grams of sugar is in a quarter pounder?

and I'm telling you, it's gotta be from that bread, too.

It seems like it's from the ketchup, too.

It seemed like the condiments had some sugar.

Yeah, it just tasted like it had sugar in it.

I'm real sensitive to that, so I eat it, I'm like, it was good though.

8 of it's added, though, so that might be the bread.

Okay, so it's 2 natural and 8 added, so it must be 8 grams of sugar in the bread.

I felt like the ketchup was kind of sweet.

So it's probably the bun and the ketchup.

It's a good move to put that 8 grams in there.

It makes it more delicious if you're only looking for something delicious.

You ever heard of the McDonald's secret menu?

The difference is though, I feel like if you- They'll

first of all, I think they'd be like, the

Which place is gonna 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 like what happened to me after a oh

like red band did with Red Band did with Pepsi Spice.

It's the greatest troll Red Band ever pulled off.

Red Band bought Pepsi Spice dot 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 just 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.

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

but I mean I think it still exists somewhere online,

We'll kill you Because he's kicked it went viral you know at the time like whatever viral is in the year 2001
