The Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics reports that the biggest mark-ups on any restaurant menu are drinks and side dishes, thus maximizing the profits for the business. McDonald’s, for example, spends between 13 and 18 cents to produce a soft drink. That includes the syrup, the cup, water, ice, electricity, labor, and wastage.Therefore, when you buy a fountain drink for $1.00, they are gaining more than 800% profit per fountain drink.
