Why Does McDonald’s Coke Taste So Good?

Have you ever wondered why McDonald’s Coke tastes so good? You’re not alone.

It’s no secret that the Coke sold at McDonald’s tastes different. It’s hard to say why it tastes different, but it just does.

It tastes better than any Coke you’d get at another fast food joint or restaurant. Hell, it tastes better than the Coca Cola you get in a can or bottle. So why is that?!

Well, Yahoo has an answer:

According to McDonald’s, the company follows Coca-Cola’s guidelines to make sure the beverage is as consistent in taste as its bottled soda. To begin with, the syrup is delivered in stainless steel containers to help preserve the flavor of the ingredients.

The water and Coca-Cola syrup are also pre-chilled with a ratio of syrup that will allow for ice to melt prior to going into restaurant fountain dispensers, which are also kept at a temperature just above freezing to produce quality-tasting soda.

The company also uses a filtration method for its water to maintain “a gold standard.”

Lastly, McDonald’s supplies astraw that is slightly wider than average, so the crisp taste of Coca-Cola can spread throughout your taste buds.

So there you have it – that’s why McDonald’s Coke tastes so good.
