0913 ET - McDonald's is debuting three fruity Refreshers and three crafted sodas at U.S. restaurants nationally on May 6, with the fast-food giant seeking to take on drink specialists like Starbucks and rivals such as Taco Bell with the offerings. McDonald's said franchisees will competitively price the colorful drinks. The company is aiming to capture more of the novelty cold drinks market, which delivers high margins for chains like Starbucks and Dutch Bros. (heather.haddon@wsj.com; @heatherhaddon)
