food places? iirc only coke makes these machines. Haven't seen a pepsi one. The machine has like 60 different sodas that it can dispense. A huge improvement over the 4 or so that most soda dispensing machines can do. How is it able to do that?

It's just flavoring powder mixed with water and carbonation. Bigger machine = more storage for powders.

All the Wendys have em here. They are very cool. One of the highlights for me was if you choose Barqs Root Beer, you get a choice to get some with vanilla added to it. Not sure how they engineered it.

I've seen inside one of those machines. They have tanks for carbonating water. They have a large container full of high fructose corn syrup, and a bunch of smaller containers with various flavored syrups. Stuff like Coke and Sprite have syrups, as well as generic flavoring like Cherry or Vanilla.

I assume there's also an artificial sweetener somewhere, but I didn't notice that.

It's a syrup, not a powder.

It was when I worked in a theater in the 80's and later at Target (Food Ave) in 2005-06. That's what they used in the old classic soda fountains as well. Maybe it's changed, but I'd be surprised. Well, okay, these days nothing should surprise me, but I'm sticking to my answer.

It's not syrup anymore. They have the concentrated flavor and a sweetener that gets mixed with the carbonated water. That's how they get so many flavors. Its this 6 inch cartridge instead of that giant box in a bag.

Pepsi has them as well. My local MJR theater has 4 of them and they work the exact same way.

I found with those that everything had a slight hint of cherry coke no matter what you chose.

Yeah, the local Wendys has one. I experimented with all the different coke flavors and kept getting burned by the non-traditional flavors so I just stuck with regular coke.

Wait, Sweeteners, as in Aspartame, and Acesulfame-K? I thought America was better than that, and had either sugar, or at least HFCS in their Soda Fountains....

The non freestyle systems use a BIB (5:1 usually) syrup mix containing HFCS still.

Not sure if true, but I've heard that only the plain coke option gives you coke. Any other flavor added they use the coke zero mix instead.

The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.

Basically flavored cartridges and then they mix and match various flavors as it mixes with the carbonated corn syrup.

Yup. The canisters of syrup would be in a seperate area or room with plastic lines/tubing running to the machine. You could switch canisters without bothering customers at all.

This system might give you more flavors but it looks like a pain the ass. Thanks for varifying it is still syrup, however.

It's not powder, the humidity alone would cake that shit up in five minutes. Its syrups; all soda dispensers are a mixture of carbonated water + extremely concentrated syrup.

Anyway haven't these been around for like 12+ years?
