I'll give a few reasons

- You can place the cup on a table and continue to drink it without taking your hands off your burger, or getting salty fingers on your cup

- Tipping a drink up makes you take your eyes off what's in front of you, so it's more awkward to do while walking

- Tipping a drink up makes you take your eyes off what's in front of you, so it's more dangerous while driving. Plus it can bash the bottom of the cup into your roof or sun visor if it's down.

- My McDonald's Coke Zero tastes better through a plastic straw. I don't know the science behind it but it enters your mouth differently and I like it more than sipping from a cup or a can



You're sipping slightly ice-diluted Coke with a fresher, higher CO2 mix and specific and fresher syrup storage from the bottom of the McDonald's Coke with a straw. it's more watered down as the ice melts if you sipped from the top.

Drinking it out of the can is drinking Coke as Coke intended; however, my theory is that pouring canned over ice may dilute it, but it cools it and the CO2 evaporation rate down lower than the mixed McDonald's coke, making the McD's coke tastes bubblier and fresher. Also, McD's water filtration system versus the frozen gravy cubes you're using.
