Sometimes those large soda drinks that you get with your fast food combo are just so big, it only makes sense to share them with someone else. Now, for a limited time, McDonald's Japan is offering a Jumbo-sized drink that's about the same as two medium sodas put together. Since this is a lot for just one person to drink, the oversized jumbo drink comes with a special cap for two straws to be poked through, rather than just one.
Since this promotion is catching the tail end of summer, it's a great way to encourage groups of people in Japan to come in, grab a meal and split an extra large beverage with a friend.
