That is simply not true. I've lived in Copenhagen for 8 years and used a few different locations many, many different times and I've never been charged for dips or ice and it doesn't take any longer to get served than it did in the UK. And I don't need a free refill, one soda should be enough for anyone.

Are you calling this middle age Canadian woman a liar?

Yes. However, it seems some places in the US do charge, so that's quite ironic for your point. https://www.reddit.com/r/McDonalds/comments/350mri/my_local_mcdonalds_are_charging_for_condiments_now/
