It seems most Burger Kings and some other chains are going with the Coke Freestyle machines where you choose your drink from a touchscreen display.
You get your choice of Coke and Dr. Pepper products, plus flavors like Vanilla, Cherry, Grape, Peach, etc.
The problem is too many choices.
What are some good ones to try.
I liked Grape Mello Yello. Did not like Orange Diet Coke.

We've had them in the Burger Kings here for a couple years. I like Diet Coke based, but they all seem to end up tasting kind of same, whether I try lime or raspberry or whatever. I usually end up just picking plain Diet Coke, but it has some aftertaste of other things, too, says the cranky old man.

Fuck and Yes! I tried that and was so happy I did. The only drawback to those machines is with one spicket it can create a bottleneck at the restaurant but man variety truly is the spice of life!

The Pizza Ranch locations in the area all have these. It's the first place I've seen them in a buffet setting. In that situation, I'll have different sodas throughout dinner.
When they first got them, I'd sit nearby to observe how patrons reacted to them. I learned two things...Old people hate technology, and kids simply can't get enough orange Hi-C.
The Wendy's and Popeye's near my office now have these machines as well.
The one place I wasn't happy to see one was in a Las Vegas 7-Eleven, because it replaced their entire fountain, meaning there were no longer Pepsi products available on tap. | spf

I don't hate technology, and I love variety in soda, but after a few whirls I will usually go with plain Diet Coke as well. Too much stuff tasted like ass, not enough tasted good.
I do like the fact that there is seltzer in there, though. I can go a few rounds with soda and then switch to seltzer for the ride home. | Zeruel

My one problem with it is that the flavor mixes do not go well with Diet Coke (my drink of choice) and are barely drinkable with the Coke Zero.

Maybe this is my issue with it?
