The days of coming to the soda machine to endlessly refill your McDonald's cup are coming to an end.

A report from Insider says the fast food giant has already started the process of phasing out self-serve soft drinks at its locations.

In a statement to the website, McDonald's said it is looking to fully eliminate self-serve soft drinks by 2032.

"This change is intended to create a consistent experience for both customers and crew across all ordering points, whether that's McDelivery, the app, kiosk, drive-thru or in-restaurant," McDonald's said in a statement published by Insider.
