newfangled co-cola machines.


ATLANTA—Coca-Cola Co. hopes a new high-tech soda fountain will add some life to listless soft-drink sales by letting restaurant-goers mix up 104 different drinks, creating inventions such as Caffeine-Free Diet Raspberry Coke.

Coke's new Freestyle machine is housed in a curved metal shell created by the designers of Ferrari race cars, and features a touch-screen menu. Inside, technology common in measuring tiny doses of chemotherapy drugs is used to release digitally-controlled amounts of concentrate flavor from dozens of plastic cartridges. (via)

  1. Those things are awesome! Stacey and I debated on staying at firehouse subs all day to try all the different flavors. It makes the fountain drink xperience even better than it already is.

  2. I almost used one of those things at Disneyland last week, but I got a beer instead.
