my local restaurant finally stopped selling them

mcdaniel's is officially dead to me

 

[jstripes]

All I remember is it tasting godly out of this as a kid.

'80s kid "Burger Day" at school.

Good times.

 

[blakep267]

So they finally got rid of it at the closest MCD to me. Now they have orange soda. So I guess that's the sprite tropic stuff, idk. It tastes pretty good. But I wish it could coexist with hic Orange

 

[NervousXtian]

They ditched it because not enough people drink Hi-C.

Which means most people are smart.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Has anyone ever found fountain Sunny D?

It's all sugar water and acid, my man.

 

[Icyflamez96]

how are you saying this as a knock in the context of being amongst all kinds of sodas

I refuse to believe more people buy that red hi c crap than the orange hi c. I always hear people talking up how they get hi c from mcdonalds. this is BS

 

[gspec]

Why haven't mcdonalds gotten the freestyle from coke cola. They use coke cola as their drink vendor.

 

[polyh3dron]

I always get Hi-C whenever I go there. Oh well.

Because those freestyle things are gross.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Yep. The formula used in the freestyle machines are....off.

 

[ScrubJay]

McDonalds I go to has a Freestyle machine. I guess I'll check if they still have it, I won't be getting any nuggets without some Orange Lavaburst to go with it.

 

[cookie-monster]

Oh nooooo

I always buy Hi-C from there when I'm sick

It legit has lots of Vitamin C and their exclusive flavor is the best

you need vitamin D, not C.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

Even when they changed it I still liked it, McDonald's, you done fucked up!

 

[GhostWriter24]

McD's should bring Orange Bang! to their restaurants. Shit is the best.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

Hi-C>Cool-aid

 

[GamerJM]

Hi-C is like a relic from the 90s to me. It seemed like it was everywhere in my early childhood, then sort of slowly became less common during the mid 2000s, and now whenever I see a soda machine with a Hi-C flavor I'm reminded that it's a thing that exists. I haven't seen any in grocery stores or anything in a very long time.

 

[Icyflamez96]

there's been such a hole in the food entertainment part of my life since this happened. i just had orange hi c from the juice box thingies. they don't taste anything like McDonald's. fml

 

[Wood Man]

McDonalds need to get these bad boys in action:

 

[Phu]

Because those freestyle things are gross.

Raspberry Coke says otherwise.

 

[norm9]

Orange drink is the 2nd best flavor to McD's Coke.

 

[The Faceless Master]

McDonalds need to get these bad boys in action:

these things are the best.

i got some sick mixes in my app.

 

[norm9]

*taps toes patiently waiting while person in front of me goes through every single option and still can't decide*

 

[VariantX]

welp, my reasons for going to Mc Donalds went down from 2 to 1 now that Hi-C is leaving.

 

[LocknessMobster]

Worst ever,thats mostly all I ever go there for. Fuck you Ronald!!!!!!!!!

 

[Syriel]

My local McD's finally dumped it.

Ordered up near the end of June, got Hi-C.

Ordered up in July, ended up with orange soda instead of Hi-C.

NO MORE ORANGE DRINK!

 

[Shoyz]

McDonalds need to get these bad boys in action:

I wish! Unless the store has to maintain those. Our local McDs soda machine has always put out completely flat soda. With the removal of Hi-C it's just water for me now, I guess.

 

[perfectchaos007]

McDonalds need to get these bad boys in action:

No they don't. drinks from that machine taste like ass. The coke formula comes out fucked up. Stick with regular fountains until they fix that.

The world is so cruel

 

[MechDX]

My son doesn't drink soda and gets this when we go to McDonalds. This sucks

 

[Premium Quality]

I recently had some Orange Bang! after not drinking it for more than 30 yrs. Shit was good and it brought back so many memories.

 

[Kyzer]

No they don't. drinks from that machine taste like ass. The coke formula comes out fucked up. Stick with regular fountains until they fix that.

Soda from fountains already taste like ass, its the same shit.

 

[Wood Man]

I've never had a bad experience. But I mostly get non-carbonated stuff to make some tasty concoctions.

 

[Kelsdesu]

They should have focused on getting there lemonade game up

 

[Pics_nao]

This saddens me. Glad I discovered Chick Fil A lemonade last month though.

This is just personal bias, you don't notice it because you're a grown adult, and have no reason to look for it.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Does McDonald's realize they changed the world for the worse?

 

[akira28]

Because those freestyle things are gross.

lol I wonder if they're more or less complicated to clean and maintain. And more or less prone to growing bacteria and mold.

 

[kamineko]

I have lived too long

 

[Agent_Carnage]

My local Burger King still offers Hi-C. I had a cup when I last went there few days back. I remember it being less watered down and tasted more fruity ish.

 

[Korgill]

Only problem with freestyle is the normal Sprite always has a nasty taste to it from the flavorings. It nice to get flavored Mello Yello though.

 

[megatronium]

This saddens me. Glad I discovered Chick Fil A lemonade last month though.

Chick Fil A Watermelon mint lemonade >>>>>

 

[RedHill]

Soda is sweetened acid but of course some of y'all single out Hi-C as being incredibly unhealthy.

 

[Orb]

I am OUTRAGED

 

[Crazyorloco]

So we're just going to have soda options. Wtf...

And iced tea (caffiene is in it though). I'd like some regular juice. I'm going to have to buy the Apple juice boxes

 

[Nappuccino]

Soda from fountains already taste like ass, its the same shit.

Nah. Having worked at stories with both traditional bag-in-box set-ups and these new machines, the traditional tastes much better, but the new machines are more convenient for workers. It's much easier to restock the new machines, and less messy too.

 

[jb1234]

No they don't. drinks from that machine taste like ass. The coke formula comes out fucked up. Stick with regular fountains until they fix that.

I like them but I only get the sugar free drinks so I can't speak to the accuracy of the more traditional ones.

 

[wisdom0wl]

smh they stopped selling at my local ones, they're dead to me now

 

[The One and Done™]

They've made a horrible mistake.

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

McDonald's must be stopped.
