- blhack 3y agoYou're talking about the "coke freestyle" machines. Yes that story is true for those machines, but McDonalds doesn't use them. (Burger king does)
- randomdata 3y agoMcDonalds did have them for a few years. Allegedly they went back to the tried and true because the maintenance costs were too high.
- larubbio 3y agoEssentially yes. Distribution, instead of funding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola_Freestyle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola_Freestyle "The Freestyle's beverage dispensing technology was designed by Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway, in return for Coca-Cola distributing his Slingshot water purification system."
