Yeah, but it's mostly ice.
621? That's an oddly specific number...
21 fl oz in metric, reversed for the UK measurements.
21 is still oddly specific. Make it 20 or a prime number (like 23) but not 21

and they will probably all cost the same.
When I worked at Taco Bell, I would make food like how I would want it and I would ice and fill drinks how I'd want it: just enough ice and filled to the brim with no overflow or mess. The trick is to tilt the cup and overfill it, so that the foam rolls out of the cup as you're filling it, then untip it as you top it off. The momentum of the overflow keeps the side clean if you do it right, kind the same energy as snapping off a paper towel or toilet paper from a roll one-handed.
80 percent water ice and 20 percent soda.
...and they do it with coffee too. 1/2 litre of something that cannot be called coffee... you can see the bottom of your cup through it. recolonise!

I can do 1L over a period of time... in a plastic bottle. If US cups are like they are elsewhere they eventually get eaten away by the liquid and start dripping, which seems to go against the implied notion that you can just order a big one and take it with you to keep drinking elsewhere.

Out of interest:
Does US McDonalds also offer sparkling mineral water or something like that?
I usually take that as I am not especially fond of sweetend soft drinks.
This would be regional. Some of the new "mixology" machines offer sparkling water options. Most American machines offer carbonated soda water (tap water with carbonation added, no flavors or minerals really added)

Imma grip and sip
and sip and sip and sip and sip and….
I don’t think I’ve had a supersized one in decades. Is that still a thing in the UK? On the occasions I do get a McDonald’s I usually just get water anyway.

That large is even small compared to many places now.
It sounds horrific....but have you ever HAD a near liter of cola in one sitting? And then basked in the caffeinated sugary afterglow?
