Are Fast Food Places Finally Closing the “No-Ice” Loophole?

One of the earliest HACKS people used to talk about was ordering a drink from a fast food restaurant with NO ICE.  You get MORE drink in the cup, and you can always add ice yourself if you want it to be chilled.

This idea has been around so long that it’s common knowledge, but there’s talk on social media that some places are closing this loophole… and are not filling cups to the top if you ask for no ice.

There’s a TikTok that’s going viral, where a woman orders a lemonade from Wendy’s with no ice… and they only filled it three-fourths full.

The reactions are mixed.  Some people think it’s CHEAP for places NOT to fill cups… especially if they offer free refills if you eat-in.

But others say you’re paying for the DRINK, not the ice, so you should get the same amount whether you want it iced or not.  And some workers say that there are cases when the amounts are automated by machines.

In any event, it doesn’t sound like this is a new policy at Wendy’s.  They haven’t commented, but random commenters say THEIR location is still filling cups.

Even if they did start cracking down, they wouldn’t be the first.  Some establishments already have cups with fill-lines for ice and no-ice . . . and others will charge a little more if you want a full cup without ice.
