    Yeah, here in the US if you tell me a soda or water isn’t unlimited refills I’m probably not gonna come back. Soda is pennies to make a gallon (cup, lid and straw are about 15¢ per set) and typically charged around $2 depending on size. To charge me $2 for every 30¢ drink? Some here have said “you get a refill?” And the answer to that is usually yes if you get a Small combo meal. 16oz with ice (Especially when an upgraded meal costs $1.50 for medium or $3 for large). You get a Small combo meal and then refill the drink once, or twice (especially if you’re splitting with someone). And it’s really easy to see why smaller drinks become “more bang for your buck”.

    Alcoholic beverages, lemonades, and other specialty drinks are normally by the cup/glass.
