In This Conversation around Fizzy Drinks McDonald’s Had an Opinion Too

I am a little clueless about fizzy/carbonated drinks because I am not particularly fond of them. Though I cannot tell a Coke from a Pepsi from a Thums Up (do forgive me) I know many that can; they usually have a clear favourite and possibly disparage the rest. Now it also seems that the beverage Sprite tastes different depending upon where you have it. According to some of the tweeple it tastes different at McDonald’s. McDonald’s responded too.

It’s different

For years, there have been memes around Sprite at the fast-food chain outlets tasting different… stronger and sharper apparently.

So strong?

Apparently so.

Extreme reactions

This is what happens when that drink hits your stomach, said this commentator.

What it feels like

A lot of people agreed with that tweet about Sprite at McDonald’s.

Fry fish

It is so fizzy it can fry fish – that shouldn’t, but makes a weird kind of sense.

How it was ‘born’

Someone had an origin story for McDonald's Sprite.

So many memes

They are the best way to convey one's feelings – directly, briefly, graphically.

Some weird memes

Some people clearly have a very strange internal landscape to come up with that.

A little extreme

But funny.

I can identify

That feeling you get when the gas goes up the nose and everything seems to be tingling? That!

Going down the throat

…Like that.

Electric!

That is not inaccurate

No ice?

Someone noticed that there was no ice in that cup – nothing to dilute that drink.

Hard to resist

It may feel strange but people still drink it – copious quantities at that!

Why it is different

According to some sources, they tweak the fizzy drinks at McDonald’s which is why it is different and there are many who love that difference.

You heard that didn’t you?

What the sound ‘looks’ like – this tweet makes a weird kind of sense.

McDonald’s joined the conversation

It’s strong – like a meteor?

Conversation goes on

People have a lot of feelings about how strong McDonald's Sprite is – strong feelings.
