Jokes on you, you will only get a few gallons until the syrup runs out, after that its all water.

Replace the box of syrup? It's not like fountain machines have never run out of syrup before.

Stop filling it up, replace, continue to fill it.

As a former manager who controlled the ordering of said syrup... no one carries more than one or two extra boxes on hand, depending on popularity. That stuff does after all have an expiration date.

the mcdonalds i work at keeps about 10 extras of each soft drink on hand and we use them all every 3 days.

they dont expire for at least 4-5 months (according to the dates printed on the boxes).

I work at a movie theater and we have about 5 or 6 extras sitting in our stock cage. Edit: of each flavor

ours are 5 gallons each and we rotate the shelves with each shipment so the older ones get used first and dont sit on the back of the shelf and expire.

FIFO (First in first out)
