Only 4 nuggets, and holy hell if that ain’t a joke for a drink size! BTW, that’s supposed to be sweet tea, but it’s bitter as hell…

    Sizes yea maybe for soda, but y’all charge for water and then give it to you in a tiny ass (relative to water anyways) cup.

    At least here the cups may be gargantuan, but you’re free to fill it with water and ice for free

        That’s nice they’re legally forbidden from denying you life saving water, but tap water is ass (even if it’s perfectly safe to drink) and should be drunk when you have no other options, not as a pleasurable drink to have with your meal.

        And last time I was in Germany (admittedly years at this point) I got free water, but was charged for Ice! That’s not my idea of a good non-sugary drink for your meal, ass tap water that might be a little colder than room temp…

        Here the free water is well filtered as it often comes from the soda machines own filtering system

        There’s a lot to like in the EU, but the whole water/ice things has always irked me. It’s honestly baffling. You want to discourage people from drinking sugary drinks like soda, but then you make the best alternative, a nice cold glass of filtered water, like some sort of luxury item

          Why the heck would you need ‘filtered’ water? Tap water is epic in West-EU, the only need for bottles is so you can take it to places where there is no tap. If you live in Utrecht (NL) you get pure Bar-Le-Duc water from the tap!

          Sidenote: Never been charged extra for Ice, I also thought icing a soda was cheaper then not for the seller.

          Spoken by someone who rates water as the most boring drink on any menu.

          Tap water in Germany is perfectly palatable and unless in some large cities, even tastes nice. In fact if you buy bottled water in the store you’ll get bottled tap water (just not bottled locally), unless it’s some fancy brand like Vittel or Volvic. But those don’t come for free no matter where you’re at.

          And yeah we don’t typically use ice in our drinks, unless you order cocktails. Agree it’s a bit odd to explicitly charge for it, but I guess if the restaurants pays for ice (usually they don’t make it on site), then I can see why they charge for it…

        Health Department doesn’t allow tap water from restaurants here. And honestly I don’t blame them for that. I mean like, do you want the flying shits?..

          If it’s that bad, no, I certainly can’t blame them. But in places where it’s perfectly safe to drink, I don’t see why not.
