McDonald’s has some incredibly rigorous requirements and processes to ensure consistent qualities in their Sprite. I have no interest in propping up a giant harmful corporation, but their Sprite really is different.
The Food Theorist and many others have made videos discussing it as well. A few months ago I saw a particular one explaining the McDonald’s process at length, but unfortunately I cannot remember enough details to find the same one again.
Side note: in typing this comment and trying to find relevant videos, I had to type “Sprite” an unreasonable number of times, and not once did my phone’s keyboard get it right.
One night, I went to a McDonald’s expecting the fabled Sprite I’ve had before, and I guess their dispenser ran out the syrup. What I got was basically just soda water, and it low-key ruined my night because we got it via drive thru and I didn’t take a sip until we got home 🥲

That’s a very relatable experience. You have my condolences.

Happy to spread knowledge!
