Speaking of flavor, why do fountain drinks taste so much better at McDonald’s? It’s a question that has puzzled generations of McDonald’s fans, but the answer is not a secret.  McDonald’s takes steps to ensure a high-quality soft drink every time:

-The water and syrup and pre-chilled before entering the fountain dispensers with the ratio of syrup set to allow for ice to melt.

-McDonald’s also keeps the fountain beverage system cold so drinks are always refreshing.

-To ensure drinks are always meeting a gold standard, McDonald’s filters the water before it enters fountain dispensers.

-There’s also McDonald’s straw – it’s slight wider than a typical straw so that delicious taste can hit all your taste buds.
