This also explains free refills - it costs them almost nothing to allow that. Even in the store, you can often get a two-liter bottle for scarcely more than a 1-liter. The salient point is the markup compared to the outside world. In the 70's it was around 75 when you could get one on the outside for 50 cents (50% markup). In 1960 is was 15 cents, and I'm guessing in the outside world it was a dime. Today it's 3 bucks - a larger markup.

For my kids, it is just the opposite. They like a burger or chicken nuggets or other fast food every once in a while, but after a day or two they want more variety. They love some of the new offerings at the different places around the parks.

Human memory is notoriously fallible.> I don't always trust mine either. But I also don't always not trust it. "And it was DL policy, which is pretty well known for those who know DL history." <Guess I don't know DL history. My day is ruined.> Awwwww.
