I was at the aforementioned McDonald’s this morning. I felt particularly ill yesterday, and stayed home; then today I felt even worse, but had something on my desk to take care of. My stomach was grumbling, so I stopped off for an unhealthful breakfast. To my surprise, I discovered that McDonalds no longer offers iced tea on their menu. They’ve dropped it in favor of “Power Ade.”
So, not content to bloat us from grease and fat, they now no longer offer any beverages without sugar or chemicals — other than bottled water, which often sells for twice the price of soda.
