Soda Recommendations

FLG stopped by Burger King, for the first time in a long time, and upon approaching the soda fountain was confronted with recommendations:


Several questions came to mind:
1) Are there really BK customers who don't know what Sprite tastes like?
2) Why exactly does it pair well with The Angus?
3) Is there a sodammelier somewhere on the premises to assist me?
4) Who thought of this oddly pretentious idea?
5) Is he French?

I think I will buy him a Fribble.

It reminds me of the McD's ad campaign that pretentious academics can stop going to cafes because now McD's has lattes.

Just had an Angus burger at McDonald's (mushroom-swiss) and had a diet Coke to wash it down. Is that wrong? McD's had no guidance. I am left wondering how good that could have been if only...
