If you’ve ever bought a drink at McDonald’s to wash down the quarter pounder with bacon and cheese chances are, you’ve chosen a Sprite at some point with your meal.

But here’s the crazy part, Mickey D’s also went ahead to hire a sensory scientist, that’s right, a sensory scientist who figured out that the same salt that’s added to the fries enhances the taste of the Sprite too!
