OK, so in all my 33 years tonight at Moe’s I met the biggest advancement in soda machines I’ve ever seen. This machine claims it has 100 different choices of sodas. Many were different flavors of the same drink. My choice was Vanilla Root Beer, my soda kryptonite. I’m not a big proponent of sodas but it sure was fun. And the machine also included at least 8 different flavored waters.
The line for the drink was longer than the line for the food. First, no one was sure how to work the thing. Second, people (kids especially) had a horrible time deciding which of the 100 choices to drink. I couldn’t help but steal a little video of Emma refilling my drink.
Tell me, do you have these where you live? Have we been living in the dark ages or would you be as mesmerized as us?
I was at Fuddruckers today and they had two of these! My mom and I couldnt believe it. I said
It was like Back to the Future came true! And my mom wants one in our kitchen.
Oh that would be cool!
That’s similar to the machines they have at the Coke Museum in Atlanta. CB and CG had a blast making their own mixed soda.
I bet! The funny thing is the girls usually make their own mix with punch and sprite when we go there.
Hmmm… I can’t say we have these anywhere but I don’t know. That is so cool!!
They definitely don’t have these in the Toronto area! It looks so neat!
I saw one at a Wendy’s in Phoenix a few months ago. My friend and I walked in just to look at the machine – we didn’t even order anything. :). I did see a milkshake machine at a gas station outside of Cincinnati and you know I had to get one of those!
Glad I’m not the only one wowed!
There’s one at The Burger Joint we frequent. It’s been broken the last couple of times we’ve eaten there.
I was wondering how it would hold up. I even had a hard time getting it to “click” a few times.
Aren’t those the coolest? I’d love to meet the fellas that came up with great ideas like these.
Although, I think i would be even better to bring back the old fashioned Soda Jerk
How bad is it that I had to look that up?
Haha! Don’t feel bad. My Papa used to tell stories about getting a root beer at the Woolworth’s counter downtown by the Soda Jerk. I think it cost 5 cents and that also got him into the movies & a ride home on the trolley. That should give you an indication how long ago Soda Jerks were in demand
Too cool! I heard about this on the radio today but haven’t seen it in person…yet.
