...to mark what kind of drink it is? They say the type of the drink right next to them. It's mostly for drive-thru worke-oh god I've been tricked

They are obviously for playing with.
Tells you right on the lid one is for Coke, one is for Root Beer, one for water, and one for other.

One of the great mysteries of our time.
Read the lid.

What you're supposed to do is idly push all of them in while you eat.

It's a survey. I use to work for a company that collected that data (first job).
But does anyone use them?

It's written right on the thing what they're there for.
And I've always seen them used when an order contains different types. So if I went out with 3 other people and I ordered a diet while they all ordered a regular then the diet bubble would be pressed in on mine.

Very rarely. I always appreciate when they do.
Usually they don't have to. If I ordered a Diet Coke from a drive through at Mcdonalds, they're just going to give me a Diet Coke. It's an easy order that they won't mess up. If I on the other hand order a Diet Coke and a Root Beer than either party could mess up and think the Root Beer is a Coke or the Coke is a Root Beer. In that case the lid would indicate what type of drink it is.

I always pressed every button. I don't give a fuck what anyone said.

You don't need to feel ashamed and imply your kids press them. We know it's you who presses them. But it's okay, we all press them.

If they pour a drink, and it's diet coke next to my coke, and I end up getting someone's nasty ass diet coke, I'll be pissed. Press the diet button on their shit.

I don't know if I've ever seen those things popped
No I mean the drive thru people press them. Don't get me wrong, I've pressed some bubbles in my day.

Everyone answers, yet I've never seen one establishment use it. Why? WHY?!

If you order multiple drinks that aren't a different color the people pouring the drinks for you use them correctly probably 50% of the time.
All signs point to you eating alone.

for kids to poke down.
What grinds my gears are the red lids they have at Mcdonalds. Apparently they're fore ice tea, but often the management just forgets to order enough large lids and I have to use one and it makes me feel like I'm five, drinking out of a sippy cup.
I would imagine "Punch",as in Fruit Punch or the like.

But really, who's "Pete"?It's written right on the thing what they're there for.
Eat with others sometime.

They are mainly used when you have multiples of similar looking drinks. I always get Dr Pepper, and my partner Coke. They will be pressed then to distinguish the different dark sodas.
