Actually it was probably syrup. I worked for years at 7-11 and the syrup
used to come in metal cylinders. Two lines on top, one compressed air in,
the other syrup out. The pre-mix stuff is MUCH more expensive and is rarely
used. I can't see a McD's using pre-mix.

BTW, the gross profit on a super gulp is >90%.

Ahh, that was the only system I was familiar with... it was used at the
pizza place I worked at in college and also by the shake machines in
McDonald's... and if I remember correctly... the soda machines at the
McDonald's as well... they just had a bunch of cylinders with different
soda labels on them... plus two hoses.  I knew they were premix because if
you remove the hoses you got all nice and sticky from the residual brown
liquid on the nozzles :-)
