Also, I like to visit small restaurants, but I fucking hate that none of them seem to know how to calibrate their fountain sodas or use filtered water for them and the ice. Way too often it is too weak, not carbonated right, or it tastes like a hobo uses the ice machine for a foot bath.

Though, I see a huge following lately about McDonald's Coke, yet I think their fountain sodas are among the worst tasting, just like the workers don't know how to hook them up right.
Re: September 27th 2018
They use a lightly higher syrup ratio at McDonald's. I am sure there are franchisees who cut corners, but they are super strict with their calibrations and filtering in terms of procedures.DancesWithWerewolves wrote:It is like gold when one of them does it right.Foo wrote:Also, I like to visit small restaurants, but I fucking hate that none of them seem to know how to calibrate their fountain sodas or use filtered water for them and the ice.

Re: September 27th 2018
I am pretty convinced that Jack in the Box has off brand Cola as their syrup but sell it as Coke. It is terrible.
Re: September 27th 2018
Chick-Fil-A Coke, of course, is among the best...
Re: September 27th 2018
Proper ice is also necessary for the carbonation to really pop.

Yeah and I know they store it differently with special hoses, I still don't think they're hooking them up right. Often tastes watered down too.Foo wrote:They use a lightly higher syrup ratio at McDonald's.

I don't remember them tasting so bad, so for all I know it could just be the area and it's been a long while since I've ventured to a McD's outside my area.

Absolutely this. And even then with no Dew, it's like, "fuck it, just give me a water".Foo wrote:Literally there is one situation where I buy Pepsi, and that is when I am at a place where I am unfamiliar with the drink choices, order a coke, and get hit with "Is Pepsi OK?".

I'm convinced, if Foo put any kind of restaurant aka shit hole 100 miles out in the sticks from anybody, he'd get the best reviews possible from you.Jason wrote:Chick-Fil-A Coke, of course, is among the best...
Re: September 27th 2018
All it takes for it to taste way off is an old filter. Municipal water has all that chlorine in it that has to be filtered out or it will never taste like the can/bottle.Jason wrote:I am pretty convinced that Jack in the Box has off brand Cola as their syrup but sell it as Coke. It is terrible.
Re: September 27th 2018
All of the Jack in the Box locations I go to have garbage soda. I blatantly get my soda elsewhere if I want Jack in the Box food.
Re: September 27th 2018
Btw, the best soda on the market right now is the lime jarritos.
Interesting side note, the brewery I have been working with has floated the idea of partnering on a canning line where crave sodas could be produced. I have so many flavors in mind!

The Halloween/Rap connection is strong! Young Michael is rocking beats!
Btw, remember when music video chicks were hot, and not some dumpy looking chick who looks like a Walmart cashier?
