Okay, this is not something I'm proud of but let's just say I know McDonald's Diet Cokes like the back of my hand. And not only did they recently have a huge increase in price, they're now slightly watered down too...something is different. At least that's the case with the particular location I go to.

I'm being ripped off, @sunshine45.  Large size has now gone from around $1.10 with tax to $1.90. They're pricing me out of the soda drinking market! I don't understand how there can be different pricing but I think I'm going to try to get to the bottom of it.

@homedecor1 - I'm with you on WaWa coffee. When I go back to NJ I can't wait to stop there. Recently I noticed 7-Eleven popping up - wish WaWa would make the move south!

Here in FL Wawa is taking over every corner.  7-11 used to be my "go to" place no longer now we have Wawa in the Tampa area.

I love going back to NJ for the real casinos not like here ...lol

Dunkin Donuts too. It tastes as tho it has been watered down.

The one item I've had from MDs that never had a decline in quality, even during the recession was their coffee. Its always been outstanding. I hadn't had any for along time until last week. My husband bought me a cup for a treat and it did not have the flavor it used to have. Today, my husband brought me another cup. It's a completely different coffee than they used in the past. It's not smooth anymore. The flavor is completely different. It's obviously a different coffee. Has anyone else noticed this? It's still strong.

It could just be where you live @Mindy D  or the one you frequent.  I drink coffee everyday but don't buy too much of it when out.  Remember McDonald's are franchises that are owned privately. 

The coffee that I think is the worst and you can't tell it's coffee is Duncan Donuts.  That's Duncan donuts anyplace I've ever purchased it.  I won't drink it.

Read your " meatball " comment.  Suggestion to make your own really great meatball sandwich from store bought:   Try either Rosina or Botts brand.  My friend found that BJ's store brand bag of meatballs was made by Rosina.

  ( I don't make my own any more because these two brands are really excellent !!!   DH agrees also.  )
