  • It happens, my guilty pleasure is Kitchen Nightmares and related shows. Gordon and or his camera crew have been assaulted twice from memory. They get broken up crazy fast though. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are more that don’t make it to camera. They are trying to tell a different story in each episode, so I am sure a brawl kind of derails that story telling.



  • But 5 to 1 part isn’t 1/5 it’s 1/6 isn’t it? I dont drink a lot of soda, but used to be on the sales side in a prior life. So I am going off what the internet says on mixing. I assume because some syrup brands/packs have significantly different caloric counts that the ratio isn’t the same brand to brand or restaurant to restaurant.

    You might be on to the weird relationship thing, but IDK if it’s positive or negative for them. McDonalds specifically gets different packs than other places. Different size, shape, everything… So maybe they get thicker syrup or something. Something has got to be going on if my search was to be believed, because they are paying much more per pack and I don’t remember them being significantly bigger.


  • A 5 gallon bag o syrup costs around 50 - $100 depending on volume discounts and what part of the US. At a 5 to 1 ratio, that’s 30 gallons per bag. Assuming each cup is 12oz (they do put in a lot of ice usually) that’s 320 servings (assuming no spillage).

    So it costs McDonalds or similar 15 - 30 cents per soda they sell in soda costs, and 11 cents for the cup lid straw combo. So assuming it’s still a dollar, that’s between 74 to 59% profit based on volume discount the specific place has with coca cola. So not really 100% profit, but still high. And no the cup doesn’t cost more, if that were ever true it was for a brief moment in history.

    As a side note fucking Googles LLM make this type of research hard by spitting fake info at you. It keeps quoting 16 cent cost for the entire soda, but the syrup alone costs at least 15 cents.





  • What if they were just doing it to make fun?

    I remember being in gym class, secondary school a few decades ago and these two sexually prolific girls for lack of a better term, moderately popular, who would spend gym classes flirting and basically sexually molesting? (Idk what term to use when clothes are on) this nerdy kid most days in gym. Teacher only seemed to laugh when he noticed.

    They would feel him up and tell him his balls were small or penis was crooked. It was fucked up.
