Food Theory: Never Order A Burger King Medium Soda!

"The problem is the ice-" Me who never gets ice: HA

I’m pretty sure Diet Coke hasn’t sponsored you yet because they realized “why pay him when he’s already doing enough promoting for us for free”

Another factor (one that is a company secret.) is what’s the soda water to syrup ratio. Most restaurants just have a large bottle of soda water that the dispenser mixes with syrup to make the soda and the ratio can be adjusted.

Well two years later after this video McDonald's does not have large drinks for a buck anymore

If MatPat told me that I wasn’t real, I would believe him

“I can write off all this Diet Coke as a business expense.” This video is the reason MatPat created Food Theory. The rest has all been a ploy.

This is why you either get the drink yourself (inside) or in some cases, ask for no ice. Whether the volumes are different, sometimes if you ask for no ice, if they're nice enough they'll fill it up to the top with just soda and you may be getting anextra 4-6 oz of sode as some will put excessive amounts of ice in the larger cups to make up for it. The advantage of in-door dining where you get it yourself though is you can refill as much as you want (at least in the US in many chains, I heard that in other countries, this is not allowed).

For the USA - McDonald’s should be updated now because the $1.00 was a “limited time” deal that they did for like 5 years. It sure was a long limited time!

I love how most of this channel is basically the most efficient way to get diabetes.

Everyone: Refills their cup once Matpat: Refills his cup once, drinks 1/10 of it, then refills again

I also think the mcd strategy is that instead of people getting water cups and filling it with soda instead, they offer the soda cheaper just because of how profitable it is. In any case, it doesn't solve people bringing in old cups.

I honestly love how much work matpat puts into his videos on film theory game theory style theory and food theory!

one burger king cashier be like: "Oh god, what have I done to the company."

Ok. But now I need a “What’s the best burger to get for the most amount of meat” video to complete the fast food trifecta.

“Feel free to run these calculations on your own” me dunking my hand directly into my drink in the drive through at the 5th McDonald’s in my area

I nearly always ask for no ice when i get drinks. Cuz every drink u get from a soda fountain is already ice cold when it comes out anyways (this does not apply to those iced tea dispensers some places have fwi cuz those are always warm without ice) and i usually finish the drinks before theyd even have a chance to warm up anyways

I've noticed this since I was like 13 this is why I ask for no ice. I am so happy you made this video!

"If you're not getting at least three refills before you leave the restaurant, then what are you doing with yourself?" -Matpat

Would love an updated list

Would love to see this now that mcD no longer prices everything at a dollar. They’ve gotten quit expensive in their soft drink price.
