    The only reason you even need a straw in the first place instead of drinking from the cup like a normal human being, is because fast food chains dilute your drinks with frozen water.

      Except you can choose to not add ice if the location has the fountains outside of the counter. Or if you just ask.

      But true padding with ice is indeed the default. And just like gym memberships, there’s enough people that don’t even bother for them to make a significant enough profit out of it.

      NGL I like my cola as cold as possible.

      But any iced beverage just feels wrong to rawdog.

      I don’t drink as much soda as I used to…but I do love me some cold brew iced coffee. I wouldn’t want to rawdog that, and I make it at home. I use a reusable straw, tho. I only use disposable straws for boba and smoothies because I can’t find good girthy reusable straws.

      And restaurateurs that aren’t idiots run their soda machines at a ratio that accommodates for the ice.
