A McDonald's near me has that option also: cherry or vanilla. I tried
the "cherry" with a Coke, since I like Cherry Coke, but the result
tasted more like cherry Kool Aid than anything else. That McD's
doesn't offer Dr Pepper, so I haven't tried any of these "boosters"
with that yet, but maybe other branches nearby have that option.
