Nobody else has commented? That's a little odd. Anyways, I would have to say that I have never really thought about your question. I was born in 1980 so I honestly can not remember ever not being able to get free refills at almost all restaurants, both fast food and formal. The only thing I do remember is that if we (friends or family and I) were at a place that didn't give you free refills, we would get pretty pissed and think they were a bunch of cheap asses! With that being said however, it still seemed pretty rare that this scenario would come up. I guess my answer right this second would be, given the fact that a fountain drink costs on average two dollars these days, I would feel ripped off if I had to pay that much for one full cup of soda! I also am able to have some self control so I personally don't see it as having a harmful effect on my health or weight. If I'm still thirsty, I will refill the cup......if not, I won't!
