We've had them here for about a year. Burger King has them exclusively from what I can tell. They are pretty cool.

Wendy's in TX has them also, along with Pei Wei and many other places. A lot of cruiseships have them also.
They are called the Coke Freestyle Machine |
|
They need a way to purge the line between selections.
The wait for technology averse people to figure out how to work it and make up their mind can be a bit much. |

Saw one of them at a local restaurant -- brings back fond memories of a summer church camp I attended as a kid one year; they had a fountain machine in the chow hall, and we all made "suicides" with them... basically everything the machine could put out mixed in a cup... LOL

That machine has stuff I never knew existed. The Coke Museum and the Coke Station at EPCOT have their world products, including dozens more delicious Fantas, a wonderful Japanese lemon soda I want here, and a horrific Italian bitter that makes people spit. |

Machine rekindled my love for vanilla coke. Cherry Vanilla Coke is far superior. ETA: Shame they don't have a "Coffee" flavor option. "Coke Black" Was pretty good. |

They are more expensive than many new cars.
And they are indeed, quite awesome. |
|
I fucking hate them.
Between the perplexed old folks and the 10 year olds making vanilla cherry chocolate Mr. Pibb Sprite lemonade, it's a 20 minute wait to get a damn Coke. |
|
They are fucking filthy.
Everyone touches them, then eats their food. I have been to a couple placed that have them, and never noticed anyone wash their hands after touching it. |

At least you're getting your own drink. I stopped going to Panera after I saw an employee take containers out of an insulated pack in a diaper bag that looked like breast milk and formula powder, use one of the counter blenders, then go in the back with it, presumably to feed their spawn. |
|
I first saw them a couple years ago in Five Guys, and now the Firehouse subs have them as well. I love em!
|
|
I keep trying those machines, but all it ever gives me is a beverage almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
|
|
Our new DQ has one haven't tried it yet. But there is no vanilla lemonade.
|
|
They have had one in the mess hall of the hospital I work at for at least the last 3 years
|
|
Cnan only find one at our Five Guys here, but I love it! Strawberry Sprite!

Some people stare at the screen like it holds the mysteries of the universe. I tend to try to scan & push buttons faster than the machine allows, and end up taking as much time as they do. |
|
Annoying, useless gimmick.
"Hey, I got an idea - Let's put a touch screen on our soda dispensers. It can have lots of whizzy icons, just like an iPad!" |

I don't really drink soda, but I've been seeing these machines for years.
Last few times I've gone and a buddy has gotten soda from one, he says it always tastes like orange soda. |
|
I like them. Peach and strawberry Sprite are my favorites so far. Noodles & Company and the AMC theaters are the only places I've seen them around here. |
|
i find it fun to change the soda mix formulas in the secret menu when the servers are dicks to myself and my better half lol youtube it im not gonna post the link here
but it is a fun thing to get revenge lol |

Local Jack in the Box has one
Have not used it yet, looks neat though. |
|
I hate them. Besides being unsanitary as describe above, perplexing to some as described above, I just want a fucking coke and it doesn't do that well. Always seems weak in the few places i've used it.

When there's no line they're great, but overall society is too g'damned dumb/indecisive for these kinda choices in a wait your turn environ. |

Those machines are bullshit. A line 3 deep will have you there 5 minutes and everything tastes like fucking diet. Plus the cartridges are very small. Almost everytime I go to Firehouse I see them servicing the machine while people stand there and wait. Stupid ass machine. |

Almost as bad an an airport kiosk where airline employees are paid to stand around to watch people get flustered before they step in to help. |

These machines fucking suck. I don't want to fill my regular coke after some asshole just shot every shitty flavor through the tube. I end up with orange, vanilla, cherry coke. Really gross shit comes out of those.
