For nearly 20 years, McDonald's dine-in customers in most locations have enjoyed the leisure of filling up their own soft drinks at beverage stations, but soon that will be coming to an end. The chain announced this week that it will be gradually phasing out self-serve fountain drinks in dining rooms entirely, and has already started in some locations. Going forward, customers will be required to ask for refills at the counter, a transition that McDonald's says will be completed by 2032. "This change is intended to create a consistent experience for both customers and crew across all ordering points, whether that's McDelivery, the app, kiosk, drive-thru or in-restaurant," the company said in a statement. McDonald's did not elaborate on any financial or health factors that may have influenced the decision, as many fast food chains have streamlined operations to minimize person-to-person contact in the wake of the pandemic. Inflation has also had an impact on the bottom line for many companies, which is why in addition to disappearing beverage stations, McDonald's Dollar Menus are also shrinking. www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/mcdonald-s-is-making-a-huge-change-to-its-beverage-service/ar-AA1gCQ0i?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=2ed26a6ed0874edfb0ae9516533d4998&ei=16 |

No it won't. They used to do it that way. They do it that way in the drive thru, and that goes quickly.

The average American consumes about 42 pounds of high-fructose corn syrup annually. This sweetener—made from pure fructose and sugar—is linked to a variety of ailments like obesity and Type 2 diabetes. It's found in everything from beverages to cereals and ice cream. While it isn't banned specifically in any country, the U.K. and some European countries have restricted the products and placed them under quota limitations. |
