Big deal

McDonald's is running it's big drink special again. I just saw a commercial telling us how great it is that we can buy any size soft drink for only a dollar. pbskids.org tells us syrup for a medium drink costs about nine cents. Of course, they've got to cover the cup, lid and straw. They also must pay employees, building lease, electricity, etc.

However ... a dollar for a soft drink is not a deal; it's just better than what restaurants usually charge.

Drink water.
