    Yeah, I don’t know if it’s still true but years ago basically the cost for the cup and straw for the business was greater than the cost of the drink itself.

    So if anything bringing my own container would save them a good chunk of the cost of a fountain drink.

      yeah, last time i checked the cost of the water, syrup, cup and straw were like…20 cents (this is with their economy of scale, bulk buying, etc etc), for a big 64 ounce drink. admitted that was before trump ruined the economy, but i doubt they are still not making absolute bank on fountain sales.
