Red Bull, Lipton, and Pepsi: coming to a McDonald's near you?
In January, McDonald's announced its entrance into the coffee specialty drinks wars. Now there's another way to get your caffeine fix under the Golden Arches.
If you're bored of the obligatory Coke with your Big Mac and fries, you're in luck—McDonald's is testing the sale of bottled and canned drinks in about 150 locations. The long lineup includes Red Bull, Diet Lipton Green Tea, and products from PepsiCo, archrival to McDonald's longtime fountain beverage bedfellow Coca-Cola.
