1/5 syrup is a lot of syrup, and doesn’t track with Italian-style sodas.
I have heard that brand name syrups are often charged extra for a patent fee or something, much like the studios overcharging movie theaters since the 90s / aughts, forcing them to run entirely on concessions.
But 5 to 1 part isn’t 1/5 it’s 1/6 isn’t it? I dont drink a lot of soda, but used to be on the sales side in a prior life. So I am going off what the internet says on mixing. I assume because some syrup brands/packs have significantly different caloric counts that the ratio isn’t the same brand to brand or restaurant to restaurant.
You might be on to the weird relationship thing, but IDK if it’s positive or negative for them. McDonalds specifically gets different packs than other places. Different size, shape, everything… So maybe they get thicker syrup or something. Something has got to be going on if my search was to be believed, because they are paying much more per pack and I don’t remember them being significantly bigger.
10 to 1 would be a bit much. 5 to 1 indicates the syrup is already thinned out, which is a possibility if the denser syrup doesn’t mix readily with the fizzy without stirring.
But then, I’d figure there was purchase-density syrup, and then pre-make which is ready to dispense with fizz water, and a clerk is tasked with diluting one to make the other.
That’s the way it’d be if I were writing a fast food sim.
