Saw a digital one in San Diego recently. It had a touch screen and allowed you to make your own flavors of lots of brands of soda.
Vanilla coke, orange coke, vanilla sprite, peach Fanta, etc.
The sodas it produced were predictably terrible.

- joezydeco 14y agoWord I hear in the foodservice industry is that Pepsi is dying for a Freestyle-like device. Coke cornered the important pieces of the technology and shut everyone else out. Think of a way to get Pepsi, Dr Pepper, and 7-11 back in the game and you'll do a lot better than $10K.
- michaelbuckbee 14y agoI think you're referring to a CocaCola Freestyle, which was made with technology from Dean Kamen [1]. I'm actually like the Freestyle as you can get a Diet Coke with just a little bit of cherry in it (which is delicious). 1 - http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/content/oct2009/id2009107_810817.htm http://www.businessweek.com/innovate/content/oct2009/id20091...
