McDonald's Berry Blast Sprite

Tried this new drink for the first time today. The flavour was good. But I wasn’t prepared for the drink to explode all over me.

It finally stopped and when I looked at the mess, it was like someone had projectile vomited over the inside of my car and me.

Shocked doesn’t describe how I felt looking at the mess. I managed to clean it up with baby wipes but the stickiness lingered until I got home to clean up properly.

I didn’t know the drink did that. Had I known, I would have stood in the footpath with the drink away from me before putting in my straw. I bought the drink from maccas at Coorparoo in Brisbane but I’ve never had any trouble with them before. And I’m not trying to get anyone in trouble here now. It’s a good store and the staff are fast, efficient and nice.

I still recommend this drink, just drink it in an open field with a wetsuit on, just in case.
