today's rant

When it's made correctly, and all of the ingredients are measured just right, there is simply nothing better than a vanilla iced coffee from McDonalds. When not made well, it's the most awful tasting concoction ever created. My local McDonald's has done a pretty good job of making them correctly. After trial and error, I learned that I should, under no circumstances, ever order a large. They simply never taste right, always bitter. Today, on the way to work, I ordered a medium. Pulled away from the window, took a sip and it tasted like dirt. If I turned around and went back in to ask for another, I would be late for work. I guess I just don't understand how a product can't be made the same way all of the time. Everything else at Mickey D's is consistent, why not the iced coffee?
