Weak Soda at Restaurants

[Jason76]

I understand the plight of workers, especially since nobody wants to work these days and I understand the low wages. However, someone is to blame and it's a big problem when the drinks at McDonalds or wherever are so weak. I suppose nobody complains about it. Well, maybe they don't want to be seen as a complaining jerk, lol.

Anyway, though, especially at movie theaters or high price family restaurants, getting a weak soda is a letdown and a rip-off.

Not sure what you mean by weak soda? You mean 3rd party off brands?

Are you talking about low carbonation? Isn't that because they don't put in a new tank or change the pressure on the valve to increase carbonation?

I'm guessing he means watered down. McDonald's waters down their drinks and sometimes I'll order a coke because it's watered down and it's less acidic.

Ice cubes does that, which is why I tend to get my stuff without ice if I remember it.

They should do that regularly - unless there is some supply-chain problem going on, as is the case with many things lately.

I don't drink pop anymore but I do remember getting it out of fountains or at restaurants & noticing the taste is not right. Like it was weaker, an off brand being labeled as a name brand.

I've read articles that claim fountain soda tastes better than canned or bottle, but I beg to differ honestly. The taste of fountain soda fades so fast it's not even funny.
