The homeless don't fill up on Pepsi at McD's. Practically all McDonalds' serve Coke. Same with Burger King.

If the homeless prefer Pepsi, they have to go to Taco Bell or Subway.

No more half Sprite half Fanta option?

What is a dirty soda?

It's the equivalent to the mat shot term in mixed drinks, which is a mix of ostensibly spilled ingredients into a new drink. In practice, it's not usually a mix of everything but is a mix of multiple syrups that go well together.

Makes no sense, because labor dominates, as it always has. But every so often, some executive has a fit about a single, isolated cost statistic and this kind of thing is the result.

self-serve soda fountains are supposedly unclean and harbor lot of bacteria in many places, so this is probably a good thing

Soda has almost no nutrients, and is acidic and high in sugar. This is not only bad for your health, it's also bad for bacteria's health, so it's practically impossible to get bacteria to reproduce in spilled soda or on the soda nozzles.

High trust societies cannot allow illegal migration from low trust societies without becoming low trust themselves.

Are mcdonalds locations losing money on soda, or is this just a way to get franchise owners to cough up more to corporate?

Educated guess on why this is happening:

All the people who get free water cups, then fill them with soda. Happens increasingly often now.

We are moving towards a low-trust society faster each day.
