You are not ripping off McDonald's.  The cup, straw, lid cover, ice and soda
costs McDonalds .10-.15 cents (if that much).  You would need to sit there
and refill your cup at least 10 times to "rip off" McDonald's.

And, boy, aren't you showing them buy refilling it before leaving...
consider that a 12 ounce soda contains about 120 empty calories, drinking
two 32 ounce cups of soda gets you about 600 calories.  Yep, getting fat is
the best way to get your money's worth.  FYI, you'd have to walk or run 6
miles to burn off 600 calories (and that doesn't even touch the calories
from the quarter-pounder/Big Mac and SuperSize fries you ate with that.
