My wife and I were on our way home from a day in Abilene, Tx today. We normally drink iced tea but as we neared Cisco TX ( home of Conrad Hiltons first hotel) my wife asked how long it had been since I’d had a coke. I couldn’t remember the last coke I’d had. So we pulled up to the drive through window at the Wendy’s on the south side of Cisco and I ordered 2 large cokes. I was shocked when the young lady handed me 2 very normal looking cokes and said, “that will be $7.12” . Good grief! Over 7 dollars for 2 cokes to go at a drive up window! I know the economy is in a bit of a mess but not that bad. If I remember right the last mixed drink I had cost less. I’m glad we bought more tea bags at Sam’s. It’ll be a while before I order another Coke.

Oak Smoke How odd! I just saw a bartender make one like five days ago. I'll ask next time I'm in there. (I meet up with some friends about once a week or so.) -
Michael_in_TX I just told my wife about this conversation. She was all in. I’m pretty sure you’ll make her Christmas card list if you tell her how to get a to go Margarita.

Stop at a gas station c store. Normally coffee and such is reasonable especially compared to Starbucks.Comment

Yeah, soda is the number 1 profit maker for most restaurants. And Wendy’s is about double McDonald’s for a coke. I’ll usually try and get stuff like that at a gas station when traveling.Comment

For that price it better be the original recipe, if you know what I'm sayin.... And, yes, I'd like a straw.Comment

texastweeter hopefully you weren't drinking a coke at the time and had it come out of your nose. That's not how it works... -
No but it was a meeting with our entire legal team. Lol

When I was hittin all those burger places recently, all the fast casual places were $3.25-$3.50 for a fountain drink. If you’re dining inside a fast food joint, NEVER order a medium or large, get the small. Almost everyone will give you free refills.Comment
