My hubby and I have solved the problem of the fast food drinks. The only time we go to a fast food place is when we are out for the day. We take a small cooler along..with a few cans of soda in and some water. we have thermal cups we put ice in and it stays all day. I used to manage a convenience store and a large drink only cost 4 cents to make. Drinks are the largest profit for any business..be it fast food or a restaurant. In the sunday paper the food ads always have soda on sale..last week it was coke 12 packs, 4 for 10.00. Guess what..this chick went there and bought 12 cases. Everyone has a gimmick.
