There it is. That should have been the post title.

It's too late now. OP must commit ritual suicide by mixing all the flavors

It's also annoying to use, slower and can't serve multiple people at the same time.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 67 points 1 week ago (18 children)

I think the extra annoyance is counteracted by the gains in customizability IMO

Where else are you going to be able to get Peach Sprite or Vanilla Fanta?

[–] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

Or diet everything.

The only reason why I like them is because I can cherry all the things. Cherry Coke, Cherry Sprite, Cherry root beer... You get the idea.

(I also like that cherry lime drink that several restaurants advertise under different names as their "exclusive" beverage. On the top of my head I know that Jack in the Box and Firehouse Subs both have it, with their own branding slapped on the name.)

That's the reason I originally thought they were cool, however, in practice, they almost never allowed you to mix anything with anything, and it was purely a limit placed in the software. I couldn't cherry anything but coke and dr pepper on any of them I ever used. I couldn't add lemon to anything but the already raspberry flavored Fuze tea. I couldn't add vanilla to the root beer or have grape flavored sprite. Shit pisses me off, because it wasn't that they didn't have a certain flavor, the interface just didn't show the flavors available for every possible soda on the machine. Especially when I would see people elsewhere with them setup in the way you really want, where you could cherry everything. 😬

I like them, but I'm always behind someone who looks like they've never used technology more advanced than a telegraph before

Nothing open to the public should have a touch interface. Has Covid taught us nothing?

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There’s also a QR code you can scan to control it via your phone. I’m sure no one has exploited that.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

And at least your phone has (mostly) only your own fecal bacteria on the screen.

That's rich coming from the "why not cum from where we pee?" Species

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 45 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If breathing and eating don't get separate holes, piss and cum certainly aren't getting that luxury

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

At least in males they aren't getting that luxury.

water man

You can use the term "Aqua Man" to sound fancier.

And the water always tastes like shit out of these because they don't clean the tip. On the old style it was always sharing lemonade or Powerade and you could just run the line for a second or two to clear it

All of that is unholy because the Coca Cola company is pure shit.

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 10 points 1 week ago

It gets worse. They hired hitmen to kill trade union leaders in Colombia.

I also remember when gas pumps had a separate hose and nozzle for each grade of gas.

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

You don't have that? Where are you?

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Most modern pumps in the US have one hose and buttons to select the grade. You’ll get a bit of the previous customer’s selection from what was left over in the line, but it’s not a huge difference if you’re getting 10 gallons. It can be a bigger deal for something with a small tank, like a motorcycle.

Diesel still gets its own hose, as putting diesel into a gas car or vice versa can be very bad.

...do I want to search up what a cloaca is?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago (3 children)

The Wikipedia article describes the biological act of a "cloaca kiss," which may or may not be exactly what it sounds like depending on an individual's imagination.

I feel like the context of "the opposite of 1 hole per beverage" gives a good vague explanation. Another is "how I pictured women's anatomy before I took a health class."

I don't care what it comes out of as long as the machine is properly and regularly cleaned.

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I am afraid your out of luck either way.

you can use pressurised air to clean the duct. Some verterbrates like to call it farts

Cloaca-cola, as envisioned by Pininfarina!

[–] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Fun fact: the Coca Cola Freestyle machine is designed by the Pininfarina company, of the same Pininfarina legacy of classic Italian car design fame.
