I ordered a Whopper with large fries, and like all fast food restaurants, large fries come with the ridiculously large soda you keep in the fridge and finish within two days. The Burger King I went to had a public soda dispenser (i.e., not behind the cashiers). The following appeared on my plastic soda cup:
HAVE IT YOUR WAY (R)
Est. 1954A King cup tells others you enjoy the better
things in life. A refill may be all well and good,
but no thank you, you’ll just take this single,
cup of champions, fill it once and sit down
and enjoy your meal. And if somehow you
still finish and need to refill, well, then
you’re that rare breed who needs two giant
vessels of refreshment. And that means only
one thing. You’re having it your way.
And as always, I filled the cup on the way out. It’s in the fridge right now.
