McDonalds drink size TikTok video sparks outrage online
The video has been viewed over 1 million times and has more than 12,000 comments.
Former McDonald's USA CEO Ed Rensi says it’s ‘tragic’ that New York City small business owners have had to deal with the coronavirus and inconsistent lockdown restrictions from leaders.
A Tiktok video from a McDonald's employee has sparked outrage online after the worker claimed that all of the fast food chain’s cups hold the same amount of any drink.

In the video viewed more than 1 million times as of Monday evening, employee @mykah.mykah pours Coke from a small McDonald’s cup into a medium and then a large, all with no ice. Each time the drink is poured, it fits into the next size up.
“They do be lying to us doe,” he captioned the video.
The video has more than 12,000 comments, filled mostly with skeptics who argue that Coke was already poured into the cups ahead of time.
“That’s what happens when you fill up each of the cups slightly and then pour more in,” one person wrote, while another agreed adding, “You could at least make it less obvious that you filled the cups.”

However, some users say that the video is legitimate, including one user who claims to be a former employee.
“I worked at McDonald’s and this is true," the former employee said. "Always say no ice or ice on the side (in another cup) and only order smalls, NEVER medium.”
Meanwhile, another user pointed out that whether the claim is true or not doesn't matter.
"Either way, y'all are just gonna fill the whole cup with ice and leave no room for the drink itself," the user wrote.
