McDonald’s Coffee is Weak and Generally Not That Impressive

I just had to get that off my chest.

I don’t get a chance to eat there too often, so I don’t know exactly when they started this whole iced coffee bit. I tried one this morning and was shocked–like, shocked to the point of audibly gasping–at how big this cup of coffee was.  For two dollars I got freaking a gallon …

Hi everybody. I’m the new energy drink reviewer. I’m the guy who was lucky enough to be chosen to try to sort through all of the marketing mess and make sense of all the stupid adjectives and exclamation points so you don’t have to.
