I have one of those Coke machines on top in my man cave. The root beer stains like crazy. If you run coke through the root beer spout, it will taste like coke with root beer flavor regardless how much you clean or purge the system.

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

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

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

You can edit titles on Lemmy

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

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

I am afraid your out of luck either way.

I have been straight up poisoned several times by improperly maintained soda fountains. I avoid them now.

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

Covid doesn't transmit on surfaces very well.

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

No shit they don't want 5 people slamming out drinks at once. If even if one person says fuck the line and doesn't get a free refill they won.

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?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days 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.)

Lime coke from those machines is delicious. Fight me.

I like to make something new each time. Might try this next time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Only a might try? Bro can't even let himself imagine me flavors.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

I say might BC these things are a bit rare where I live so I'll probably forgor.

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

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 days ago (4 children)

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago
