I’ve not been in a McDonald’s in decades. Nice to see? I vaguely recall fountains in there but I’m left wondering how much sugar water does one need? Diabetes in a cup anyone?
Add what the fluid does to interfere with proper food digestion no wonder so many are so sickly and overweight.
I wish like financial literacy they taught proper nutritional health that served the public versus the corporations.
They have these sickly consumers screaming government over reach when they try to curb these products with regulations trying to convince everyone, they are just weak and they should be able to override these rewards centers that have been hijacked in the brain with willpower.
Meanwhile at the same time these groups then desire the strong arm of the law to come down very hard on drug addicts when they are just another form of a addict but a less severe form that is functioning somewhat.
It’s a quite the duality to witness. Humans are interesting…
I’m at my healthy weight, I believe in the decriminalization of all drugs, and I frequent the soda fountains at my neighborhood convenience store. But you’re right, I guess it’s just a matter of time before I devolve into a blathering fascist in the ICU being treated for severe, life-threatening Fanta withdrawals.
I used to play pool with my cousin. It was an interesting afternoon once, me jittery from alcohol withdrawal and him from Monster – so sugar and caffeine. Boy he looked like hell.
Laugh as we might just because the health affects are not immediate versus long term doesn’t mean there isn’t ramifications.
Alcohol will mess you up in the short term and in the long term in more ways than one especially for those that abuse it.
Oddly one of those ways mimics over consumption of sugar.
But not to worry just like the culture of alcohol and tobacco had us convinced that there are no health issues at all to worry about, it’s the same mate for those operating on massive rushes of sugar and caffeine in energy drinks.
They might not appear mentally drunk but rest assured their bodies are…

Bruh theyre trying to save money, not save the world
Mcdonald’s is going away from self-refill. You can still refill it but an employee will do it.
Interesting. Do you know why?
I remember decades ago the ads on TV when burger king added self service fountains. It was a BIG DEAL to have unlimited free refills.
