One night, I went to a McDonald’s expecting the fabled Sprite I’ve had before, and I guess their dispenser ran out the syrup. What I got was basically just soda water, and it low-key ruined my night because we got it via drive thru and I didn’t take a sip until we got home 🥲
This is the quintessential McDonald’s experience. Every time I give in to that random pang of nostalgia, I know I’m in for some kind of disappointment. It might be a broken ice cream machine, an item that’s just out that day or been removed from the menu permanently, or something as mundane as having my order screwed up. In that, ironically, it rarely disappoints.

That’ll be $28.73 at the second window.
That’s a very relatable experience. You have my condolences.
