Hotel air conditioners feel like perfect air conditioning. Likely due in part to hotel rooms being a small space, usually limited to one outside window, and they are usually good sized units so they will cool it very fast and effectively. Also the rooms are usually warm when you first enter, and so you turn on the A/C and immediately feel the room getting colder.
Similarly, McDonald’s pop is essentially perfect. McDonald’s arguably strives for consistency above all else, so you know that a Sprite from any location will be the perfect mix, the exact right about of carbonation, perfectly chilled with jus the right amount of ice. It will even have their specific large diameter straw to ensure the ideal flow rate when you drink.

I never got this. I only had coke, but it tastes watery just like fountain drinks anywhere else. With plastic bottles being the baseline, fountain drinks are consistently below it, even at MCD. The only coke I actually find better than this baseline are from the glass bottles.
Its just that the syrup ratios are turned up because they realized at some point the average time from pour to first sip is long. So that first hit before the ice melts is extra sweet. McDonald’s soda without ice is grossly sweet, especially coke or dr p.

Ideal flow rate, my ass. Small straws are better.

Well, ideal if you’re selling soda and trying to get customers to drink as fast as possible.
