This has a similar energy.
I’ll take the single outlet cartridge loaded one over the several feet of bacteria laden tubes sucking on bags from the other.
Hotdogs are down the hallway
No fucking thanks. These machines are disgusting bacteria farms.

I have worked in fast food before and cleaned out the normal ones and I know how infrequently they get cleaned.

Good thing I get mine from 7-eleven where they are known for their high hygiene standards.
Yes, it’s obvious that soda fountains are bacteria farms, but what about the comparison of models? We’re trying to determine how significant the difference is
If the drink cloaca is unholy, call me a heathen.
It’s not a “cloaca dispenser”, it doesn’t dispense cloacas. It is a “soda cloaca”, it has all sodas coming out the same hole.
Can I get one of them Cloaca-Colas
Here you go!
Kingdom of Loathing… how I miss you sometimes.
I recently started playing again after a 15 year break. It’s changed quite a bit and I’m having a blast. Don’t miss it, go play it :)
Edit: I take it back. Don’t actually. See below :(
Omg, that is fucking disgusting. Thank you for letting me know.
Maybe in the next FallOut game
I used to be happy to see these because I knew I’d have more than one option that wasn’t carbonated. Many places usually have 1, which is either fake lemonade with artificial sweetener, fruit punch (0% juice), or Orange High-C. Which I’m glad they don’t claim is juice, because it’s just delicious sugar water.
I’m happy to see them because I get more sugar free choices than water or diet cola.
I’ll take the cloaca one every time. They got damn fine choices.
In my experience, the flavors are not the same, not calibrated correctly or something.
Selects regular Dr. Pepper.
Received a cup of seltzer water with a drop of syrup.
For the bottom machine, run the faucet for a few seconds before you put your cup under it. Last thing anyone wants is half-watered down cherry coke or homeopathic fanta.
Homeopathic Fanta lol, I’m gonna use this in the future

As someone that is allergic to powdered aluminum, is she aware that almost half the sticks you find at the store are aluminum free?
Excuse you
FYI, those machines are rarely cleaned.
FR, the lines on the top machine get hooked up to a metering pump whose intakes are
A. Bag of “Soda” syrup which comes in a box
B. Air Tank of Carbonation
C. Water
The outlet hoses themselves are transparent so a lot of serious issues would be noticed and rectified, but in general stores don’t implement proper protocol to clean or change them out regularly. There is actually a couple of bacterial strains found almost exclusively in the lines, I’ve had the priviledge to examine them in person. They’re rarely very harmful but it’s kind of neat.
The actual machine people see usually only houses the refrigeration unit with the pumps and bags and tank on the other side of a wall or hidden under a counter.
i like to think the soda dispenser bacteria enhances my biological profile
Your immune system is going to hate it but your gut biome is going to love it.
… is that the reason some places drinks taste different?
That’s usually because the syrup to carbonated water ratio is different. But yeah I’m sure if you never clean the lines it won’t be as good. (Or if you have some weirdness where people are swapping the soda lines. Should be rare though, as you don’t want to swap which one says coke/sprite/w.e on the other end
Babe can I get one of them Cloaca-Colas
Those vending machines have facial recognition cameras on them.
Not sure about that, but I did see numerous new Coca-Cola products in new flavors that I assume they put together by scraping metrics from these; and if I remember correctly they do have cellular interface.
Google it or look at my other comment for source
No flavor customization options ❌
At least 6 flavor shots available to add to the base flavor ✅
Yo dawg, I heard you like sugar so I put sugar in your sugar.
Six flavor shots that mix with all the others and end up just tasting like a combination of them all. 😷
Actually its like crazy precise tube delivery some guy made a fortune engineering it 👍 So that exact doesn’t happen
Surgical machines use it now it was revolutionary at the time
Peter Dorneys patents focus on various aspects of beverage dispensing, including the efficiency and accuracy of drink preparation. His innovations have paved the way for automated systems that can mix and dispense beverages with precision, which is crucial in both commercial and medical applications. https://patents.google.com/patent/US8127805B2/en
My bad. But why does it taste like shit then?
Because its just boxes of syrups that come through dirty hoses no one cleans from a closet in the back that’s filled with roaches. Also depends if someone swaps the syrup box to a new box when it runs out or it just tastes like soda water
Bullshit it always tastes like it has vanilla in it
Yeah but the people at the theatre don’t replace the concentrate pouches when they are running low so you still end up with diluted garbage that is mostly just plain soda water
Just pick your poison and dispense for like 1 second into the tray. Yes it’s wasteful, but that’s their fault for making you have to flush the tube.
