Sales Manager  Posts: 1 Joined: 8 Aug 2007   | 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. |

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.
