Hi Baby,
I'm sorry you got so many rude answers to your perfectly sound question. The answer is, "yes." They do that in many fast food restaurants in the US. There are small, medium, large, and king size drinks. What your friend ordered was a mega-large drink -- or, as some Americans refer to them -- "Bladder-Kill."
It's all true. Cheers.

that would depend on what size drink your friend ordered.
we have 10 oz kid drinks, all the way up to a 32 ounce or sometimes, even larger drink cup. the ignorance from some of the other posters is quite apparent, in their answers. coming from another country to america, what you might consider a "bucket" there, would actually be the 32 ounce or larger drink.

yeah its true, i went to orlando last year and they gave me a big bucket cup and you just take it over to the drinks section and fill it up as many times as you want while you are in the restaurant.

In some places yes. Most places give free refills of coke anyway.

In essence, yes. You can order different sizes, but things seem to be excessively large (like drinks) when it comes to fast food.

No, it's not true unless she ASKED for a "bucket."
I don't know what part of America your friend went to, nor what part of America the 4 people who gave me thumbs down are from... but where I come from, we don't drink out of anything the size of a bucket, nor do any stores or restaurants give you a cup that is that large.
We do however, offer free refills at nearly all restaurants and places of the like.

Ooh, some people got out of bed on the wrong side this morning! Surely, we don't know until we ask, and that's the whole point of this site??
We apologise for our ignorance.
I thought it was a fair question.

And in resturants you can drink all you want during your meal, and take a cup with you when you leave all for the same price on one drink. Us silly Americans, we have gone mad...

I live in the UK and I would love to live in America, everything is so much bigger and better.
The only thing in this country that gets bigger is our tax bill and mortgage.

Yes that,s why they have a big butt, big buckets of coke = big butts.
