The Firehouse Subs near me has one, I think it's pretty sweet. Lots of flavors that aren't normally available.

They have one of these soda machines at the new burger joint Boardwalk a couple blocks away. It's ok. Too damn many options, I don't like it.

My experience with these is this: Customer have SO MANY fucking choices it takes a hour just to get a soda (which is never for me anyways lol). People had enough of a hard time deciding between Coke or Cherry Coke..."OMG I just DONT KNOW!!"

edit: I've used these a couple times, and another complaint is that my "plain coke" tastes like whatever the person before had also.

Prime example of how excessive technology creates more problems instead of solving them.

I tell people every day while serving them on the buffet, there is no prize for the 'perfect' lunch. It's the human condition, many don't really care what they eat, it's the stress of having to make a decision. :D

I've been to a few, and every time I've used one they're out of good flavors. So it's just a pita to get to the plain soda I have to stick with because the flavor packets are good for about 10 drinks.
