Beverages

What is there to say about this section?  McDonald’s can’t do anything about what the soft drink industry puts into their products.  They do have control over two things: what drink choices they offer to their customers and in what quantity they are offerred.  Most places now have the self-service beverage station, where unlimited quantities of carbonated goodness abound.  But if I want to take 60 oz of Dr. Pepper out the door with me when I head back to my cubicle, I’m going to need a very large cup.  And everybody, not just McDonald’s, offers a stupid-large cup, although in McD’s defense, their’s tops out at 32 oz…that’s only one quart.  That barely wets the ol’ whistle, if you ask me.
