Fountain Drinks in fast food establishments, gas stations, etc., all have the same con in each. Ice cubes. Guys. The Soda COMES. OUT. COLD. You using ice cubes only leaves you with less room for soda, tea, punch, whatever. You're getting conned. Scammed. There is no point for this, except an easy way for the establishment to penny pinch you so hard. Get the most out of your money, don't look like a fool, and don't waste valuable cup space on cooling an already refrigerated beverage. EDIT #1: Free refills do not apply at most of the establishments mentioned above. You won't go back through a drive through for a refill, nor will you go back to the gas station 20 miles back for your 1/2 ice. EDIT #2: It has been brought to my attention (Thank you Glass Eater and the Fresh Prince) that the above is the result of the Illuminati Lizard Robot Deej Pegboi men trying to 'ICE' us. Please, abandon your homes. Seek shelter. EDIT #3: WE'RE TRENDING. NOW MANY WILL SEE THAT ICE IS NOT USED FOR COOLING YOUR BEVERAGE, BUT TAKING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY.
