A McDonald's customer was left fuming over the 'ridiculous' price of a large Coke in Australia compared to America.
Daniel Amos, who goes by the moniker Fleece King online, visited a McDonald's restaurant in Sydney only to be outraged by the amount he spent on the soft drink.
'I just want to express how outrageous I think this is,' the 27-year-old said in a TikTok video.
'This is probably a small in America. I've bought nothing else other than this Coke - and it was $5.40.'
In the short clip he held up the large Coke and was visibly angry about the cost.

'And guess what? Unlike America we don't get refills. So you buy this large Coke for $5.40 with nothing else - and I don't get any free refills,' Daniel continued.
'That has to be one of the most ridiculous things.'
To compare, Americans can order a small, medium or large Coke for $1 USD ($1.51 AUD) on the '$1 $2 $3 Dollar Menu'.
Daniel told FEMAIL he travels to the US a few times a year and is best known in the Pokémon world for being the first person to reach level 50 on the popular game Pokémon Go.
'Every time I get fast food in the states, which includes Maccas, the drinks are huge, cheaper and you can get free refills,' he said.
'I've often finish my Coke then before I leave I fill it up again to take with me. I'd say it tastes about the same, but the value, sizes and prices are better even in USD.'

Daniel's video has since been watched more than 183,000 times and many McDonald's fans were on his side, admitting Aussies are being 'ripped off'.
'Welcome to Australia mate,' one wrote.
'We get ripped off left right and centre.'
Another wrote: 'What happened to $1 frozen Cokes bro?'
But others disagreed.
'Bro's forgetting AUD is different to USD. That converts to $3.33 USD, normal price,' one added.
'Yea but we have a free healthcare,' another pointed out, someone else asked: 'Did you tip your server?'
One more said bluntly: 'Start your own restaurant and let us know how much the soft drinks cost to make it a viable business.'
A McDonald's Australia spokesperson responded to the complaint.
'We're committed to providing our customers with great value across our menu and exceptional service every day, whether that's in our restaurants, drive-thru or McDelivery,' the spokesperson told FEMAIL.
'Customers can take advantage of our year-round Loose Change Menu, which offers great savings, with frozen beverages from $1, desserts from $1.50 and hamburgers from $2.00.
'We know our customers are watching every dollar they spend, and we're committed to earning their visits by doubling down on the things that matter most to them.
'Whether that's great value Macca's Bundles to feed the whole family, Loose Change Meals, personalised offers through the MyMacca's loyalty program, or through exciting new offers like our $5.95 Breakfast Offer, we will continue to delight and reward our customers.'
