And the taste difference isn\u2019t in your head.\r\n\r\nMcDonald\u2019s takes better care of its Coca-Cola than most restaurants. The companies have a tight relationship, so they can tag-team promotions and new products, according to the\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2014\/05\/16\/business\/coke-and-mcdonalds-working-hand-in-hand-since-1955.html?_r=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">New York Times<\/a><\/em>. And that close bond pays off every time a customer sips a soda.\r\n\r\nIt all starts with the packaging. Typically, restaurants get their soda syrups in plastic bags, but Coca-Cola does something different for McDonald\u2019s. The fast food chain gets its Coke syrup delivered in stainless steel tanks. According to the\u00a0<em>New York Times<\/em>, the material keeps the soda fresher, and your tongue can taste the difference.\r\n\r\nOnce the syrups reach the restaurant, soda doesn\u2019t just become an afterthought. Both the syrup and the water (which goes through \u201cproper filtration methods\u201d) get pre-chilled before going into the soda fountain, according to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcdonalds.com\/us\/en-us\/about-our-food\/our-food-your-questions.html#beverages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">McDonald\u2019s website<\/a>. Other places might rely on the dispenser itself to chill lukewarm water, but McDonald\u2019s uses insulated tubes to deliver the liquid from the fridge to the fountain, keeping the liquid as chilled as possible, according to the\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2017\/09\/14\/why-mcdonalds-coke-tastes-better-than-all-the-other-cokes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">New York Post<\/a><\/em>.\r\n\r\nFor one thing, this gives McDonald\u2019s a head start in delivering the ice cold Coca-Cola you crave. But that\u2019s not all\u2014cold water is also better for the carbonation. As soda warms up, the CO2 wants to escape quicker, according to the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/scienceline.ucsb.edu\/getkey.php?key=839\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">University of California, Santa Barbara<\/a>. So because the water is kept so cold at McDonald\u2019s, that gas doesn\u2019t escape, and you maintain your fizz.\r\n\r\nStill, the fast food chain is well aware that your soda will start to go from refreshingly cold to lukewarm the moment you pour it out. Of course customers add ice to keep it chilled, but that can mean watered-down Coke. Ugh. To fight against that, the company says it makes sure it uses \u201cthe ratio of syrup set to allow for ice to melt.\u201d At home, learn how to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rd.com\/food\/recipes-cooking\/iced-coffee-ice-cubes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">keep your iced coffee from watering down<\/a>.\r\n\r\nThe soda itself isn\u2019t the only difference, though. McDonald\u2019s also has different straws than you typically use. \u201cIt\u2019s slightly wider than a typical straw, so all that Coke taste can hit all your tastebuds,\u201d writes the company. (Though there\u2019s a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rd.com\/culture\/why-are-straws-bad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scary reason you should stop drinking out of straws<\/a>.)\r\n\r\nAnd Coke isn\u2019t the only food the restaurant does particularly well. Learn the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rd.com\/food\/fun\/mcdonalds-fries-ingredients\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">secret ingredient that makes McDonald\u2019s fries so addictive<\/a>.
