Why Is McDonald's Selling Drinks So Cheap?

I'll answer that question with my own question - why the heck NOT? It's summertime, the weather is hot, and you gots to stay hydrated. Thanks to the Summer Happy Hour, you can pick up the kids from summer camp, VBS, a play date at the pool, or whatever, and then cool everyone down with a cold drink for just a few bucks.
