The fast-food chain does a few things to differentiate its soda from others.<\/p>\n<p>First, while most restaurants get their <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rd.com%2Farticle%2Fmcdonalds-coke%2F\">Coca-Cola syrup<\/a> delivered in plastic bags, McDonald\u2019s delivery comes in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2014\/05\/16\/business\/coke-and-mcdonalds-working-hand-in-hand-since-1955.html?_r=2\">stainless-steel tanks<\/a>. This helps to keep the syrup fresher, and no flavors are lost or diluted. Once the syrup arrives, it\u2019s mixed with filtered water and chilled before it goes into the soda fountain.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Tervis-1069599-Coca-Cola-Tumbler-Frosted\/dp\/B00AQ5ICHM\/?tag=lifesavvysite-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41gLnmtyF-L._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Some restaurants add the syrup and water mixture to the machine and depend on it to cool the mix. McDonald\u2019s, however, takes that\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2017\/09\/14\/why-mcdonalds-coke-tastes-better-than-all-the-other-cokes\/\">pre-chill step<\/a>\u00a0and combines it with the use of insulated tubes. They transport the syrup and water from the fridge to the fountain keeping the drink as cold as possible. While the temperature might not seem important, it is.<\/p>\n<p>Warm soda allows CO2 (aka carbonation) to escape quicker. This means your drink won\u2019t be as bubbly (and fun). Because <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/scienceline.ucsb.edu\/getkey.php?key=839\">McDonald\u2019s soda<\/a> is chilled from start to finish, it\u2019s able to hold more carbonation for a fizzier drink.<\/p>\n<p>The next time you\u2019re craving a McDonald\u2019s specific Diet Coke, there is a reason why. Just in case you can\u2019t make it to your local restaurant, though, you can always try these soda alternatives until your next visit.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '267914477473431');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
