There's a spot right next to my desk where you can park one of these. Awesome. | |
Now there is a good invention, how long before these come across the pond? | |
Oooooh...fancy. Good to see they're not wasting this on cancer drugs. | |
I have boycotted Coke until they bring Coke Vanilla back. | |
Brilliance. I'd take one of these any day. | |
How long until I'm allowed to request an interface for beer and mixed spirits? The guy in the video could probably make just about any technological advancement boring. | |
sadly it won't serve Irn-Bru | |
Does that guy blink? Anyway that would be sweet. | |
This whole thing is ripe with irony. Thank GOD I live in California! This whole thing is ripe with irony. | |
But a dialysis based drinks machine could back fire on you horribly. | |
Hope it comes to Britain :D | |
As long as it makes the drinks taste good, as apposed to the way fountain drinks taste like shite now, then I am ALL over this! | |
i want to find out how much one of these will cost.. | |
Too bad it isn't Pepsi. They have Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper. Wait, Coke has Vault. A slightly redeeming factor, I guess. | |
Vanilla Coke, yessssssssss. And we so desperately need one of these for the office, it's not even funny. | |
They still make Vanilla Coke. Its just not in most places, they still have it in Atlanta. Also one of the chooses for coke in the pictures was vanilla coke. | |
How much to get one of these, PEPSI branded? Oh the joy of having Crush Lime, 7Up, and Crystal Clear Pepsi at the push of a button. | |
Sweet Lords of Kobol and the Cylon God I want one! You just leave it next to my office space at work. | |
Wow, i never thought the drink fountain would become so technologically advanced. Now if they would make me one to replace the mini bar in my apartment i would be a happy camper. | |
I can't wait for a chance to play with one of these. There were rumors that Burger King of all places might be the first to get the machines. Poor McDonald's:( Another plus to this machine is that Coke is actually using it as market research. If a certain area of the country purchases a high number of Vanilla Coke, they can adjust the supply of Vanilla Coke in that area to start meeting demands. | |
I, for one, welcome our new soda overlords. Seriously though, this is pretty awesome. | |
If he doesn't he's prolly a lizard person. | |
Because of course the average Media inpsired trend-following schmo in Grade 10 needs one of these in their school to degenerate their brains and health in addition to peer pressure of Drugs and bullying. Of course. -Honestly, why else would they make those things apart from put them in schools? Grotesque! | |
So they're using the same technology to give you diabetes that they'll use when to save your life when your kidneys fail. ...I want two. | |
It's the same system they use in cinemas, isn't it? If you like that, you'll like this. | |
I want one so badly. Also vanilla coke rocks. | |
And here I thought I was the only one who preferred Vanilla coke to the original. my Lunch at Uni is a schnitzel burger w/ vanilla coke | |
This would increase department productivity you know :) | |
I want one in my bedroom. Only with Dr Pepper and Irn Bru in it | |
Aww, i was expecting the worlds most tasty bellagio show :-( | |
*points to kitchen* Need a dispenser, here! | |
http://www.bit-tech.net/modding/2008/07/07/team-fortress-2-dispenser-mod/1 I'm sure we can get someone to make a soda machine version... | |
never had it, head it was awful, but I still want it strangly | |
*looks at the 12 pack of coke vanilla he just got at walmart* It's back though I never knew it went away. | |

Dialysis Tech Fuels Coke's New Soda Fountain
Coca-Cola's latest salvo in the eternal soft drink wars has been revealed: A surprisingly high-tech beverage dispenser offering consumers 100 flavors of soda from a single spigot.
Dubbed "FreeStyle," the machine utilizes technology "originally developed to measure extremely precise amounts of dialysis and cancer drugs" alongside advanced RFID sensors and an onboard computer to mix beverages on the fly to a consumer's particular tastes.
Further enhancing the machine's post-modern feel is a touchscreen UI on which consumers select their favorite soft drink flavor, saving soft drink aficionados the hassle of memorizing which of their local soda fountain's always mislabeled spigots contains disgustingly watered-down iced tea.
Coca-Cola's shiny new technology is currently being tested in Georgia, California and Utah, but according to Fast Company, the soft drink giant plans to roll out an additional 60 machines by the end of the summer.
