The Diet Coke is more like a totem for those who desperately want to think that the problem has been recognized and that the diner is going to leave McDonald's and head down the street to get one of Jarrod's sandwiches at Subway. Meanwhile, he's finishing off another Big Mac, and thinking about his next McRib (chomp) and maybe a vanilla shake.
