#6: Why McDonald’s Coke Somehow Tastes Superior

Coca-Cola always tastes distinctly like Coca-Cola… yet everyone knows McDonald’s Coke hits different. Sharper. Colder. Better. And now we know why: McDonald’s receives its Coke syrup in special stainless-steel containers, unlike the plastic bags most places use.

These containers keep the syrup fresher and maintain quality better. McDonald’s also uses insulated tubes and precise filtration systems to keep the temperature and carbonation perfect. Basically, they engineered the ultimate Coke experience — which explains why it tastes like pure nostalgia.
