Rant of the Week: McDonald’s Ice Coffee

iced coffee Rant of the Week:  McDonalds Ice Coffee

Ah, coffee frappucino. It’s tasty, sweet, cold and perfect for the summer. But it’s also damn expensive, with the smallest size around $3.25. McDonald’s noticed that everybody loved Starbucks and wanted to take away their customers. McDonald’s started renovating their stores, making it trendier and having internet connection. Then they started selling ice coffees that were suppose to be as good as Starbucks’ drinks but only cheaper. Ice coffees started at $1.99. Even though I only get Starbucks once every 2 months, I was curious with McDonald’s version.  One word: CRAP.  It tasted like regular coffee but with ice.  It was bitter, even when they added some syrup.  I asked the employee if it’s suppose to be bitter and she told me that’s how it should be.  For $1.99, it’s a ripoff.  I can make bitter ice cold coffee at home.  McDonald’s, if you want to compete with Starbucks, you better add sugar and artificial flavoring to your coffee drinks.
