Imagine being a fully grown adult and still drinking Hi-C.

If a full grown adult is going to debase themselves so much that they're eating at McDonalds in the first place, then what's wrong with a Hi-C?

Didn't that stuff go bad by now?

My sister hoarded a shit ton of it during the Ghostbusters release but a month or so ago was complaining that it was about to expire.

I hope they fall further, they're bad and those type of practices should not be encouraged with patronage

Reminds me of my school cafeteria. The water part on their drink machine broke, so they replaced the fruit punch (the only drink there I liked) with water since the fruit punch dispenser worked fine.

There were like a dozen other drinks they could've replaced, and they replaced fruit punch.

ON BOTH MACHINES.


I don't eat there any more.

It's the best drink, what bullshit. Makes me wanna go into all of the McDonald's in my area and make a huge order and ask for that to drink and when they tell me they don't have it anymore "oh...cancel my order then" and walk out. As childish or petty as that may seem, I kinda don't care. Ten fucking sodas and they get rid of one of the only non carbonated drinks for another shitty soda. Yes I'm mad.

That's only going to be screwing over the people that work there who have zero control over it.

Might have to try and get some this morning is they still got it

It's weird how companies make decisions like this knowing full well it will piss off/alienate a significant portion of their fanbase. Then their explanation usually boils down to nothing more than "tough shit, get used to it."

And what really sucks is that nobody ever really cares that much to be able to make serious threats towards the company to try and convince/strong arm them into going back on their decision (not like it'd change anything if someone/people DID try to get violent).

Imagine a world like that, company adds or gets rid of something that causes an uproar in their customers, angry mob shows up at their doors and that's all it takes for company to change their mind. You could even swap McDonalds in this case with any other company that's known for making decisions that seem like they were made purely to make people say "What the fuck, WHY". Imagine the possibilities.

Perhaps the reason we don't do this is because forming an angry mob to stop a company from discontinuing some orange drink is some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen suggested

Nah, pretty sure I was talking to the guy I quoted. This discussion will end and you will cease responding.

That wasn't nearly as clever a response as you wanted it to be.

If you only want that person to respond to you, perhaps you should send any dumbass McDonald's mob posts in a PM.

White Castle still has it but it's much watered-down depending on the store

Jesus Christ, I never realized so many people took Hi-C so damn serious.

It's funny because McDonalds response is basically "just get a coffee or ice tea if you don't like soda"

I think it tastes better that way. It's really sweet to begin with.

That's true, but sometimes it tastes less like Hi-C and more like Vitamin Water.

You can also buy it by the gallon, if one is to be that paranoid.

They also keep introducing these "premium" sandwiches that cost $7-$8 that are overpriced.

Good. Makes my decision-making far easier when it comes down to selecting between $6 shit burgers from Mickey Ds or a $7 quality piece of cow meat from Five Guys or Bobby's Burger Palace.

McDonald's is a fucking mess, their workers are shit, customer service is shit, sandwiches is shit, french fries, etc.

Seriously, I went there last week for the first time in years, went to the cashier and was wondering what the good deals are, they don't help for shit and give you frustrated sounds and looks. They have a fucking $4.79 for 10 nuggets(only) deal when there's a fucking 20 nuggets for $5 deal. They don't tell you about the deal either, they'll just let you sit out and get jipped

Their cup design is absolute trash, they have a downward curve on the top so if you're walking and it starts jumbling around and spills, IT CAN'T GO BACK IN.

Their deals are trash, like mcpick 2 for 2.50 now? and their smaller sandwiches are expensive too

Seriously, this is just a small sample of the trash they do.

I'll agree with that. I think I've had the orange Vitamin Water once from QT and if I recall correctly it did taste like a watered down version of the orange Hi-C.
