I honestly don’t know if he meant that as a joke or an advert.
Only if it’s an advert to loot museums or trade in illegal antiquities to Obey Your Thirst™ at McDonald’s™.
Hmmm I wasn’t thinking about it before, but I am now.
Advertising successful!
Yeah kinda weird he specifically mentioned a McDonald’s Sprite™.Maybe its just because a big fast food chain most people know sounds more relateble.
McDonald’s(and others) used to sell promo glasses that might have looked like this. My LOTR goblets I think were from Burger King.
McDonalds Sprite is its own meme.
Unknown Armies is a tabletop RPG that has a school of magic predicated on a. Being drunk all the time and b. Drinking out of really cool cups.
Post reminded me of that. Good game (though I only know 2nd edition)
Ironically enough, that emperor would probably have thought it’s mana from heaven, if he ever got to try Sprite.
Is it dishwasher safe?
Absolutely not. Do you want a cursed dishwasher because that’s exactly how you get a cursed dishwasher.
What the hell is “mcdonalds sprite”? Is that any different from regular sprite?
McDonald’s has some incredibly rigorous requirements and processes to ensure consistent qualities in their Sprite. I have no interest in propping up a giant harmful corporation, but their Sprite really is different.
Random video discussing this: https://youtu.be/ATEMvaOcWWc
The Food Theorist and many others have made videos discussing it as well. A few months ago I saw a particular one explaining the McDonald’s process at length, but unfortunately I cannot remember enough details to find the same one again.
Side note: in typing this comment and trying to find relevant videos, I had to type “Sprite” an unreasonable number of times, and not once did my phone’s keyboard get it right.
One night, I went to a McDonald’s expecting the fabled Sprite I’ve had before, and I guess their dispenser ran out the syrup. What I got was basically just soda water, and it low-key ruined my night because we got it via drive thru and I didn’t take a sip until we got home 🥲
This is the quintessential McDonald’s experience. Every time I give in to that random pang of nostalgia, I know I’m in for some kind of disappointment. It might be a broken ice cream machine, an item that’s just out that day or been removed from the menu permanently, or something as mundane as having my order screwed up. In that, ironically, it rarely disappoints.
That’ll be $28.73 at the second window.
I don’t know if this is true but I’ve read that, in their fountain sodas, McDonald’s uses like 15% more flavoring syrup than what’s recommended, so the sodas taste extra good
