I'll never see my lizards the same again.

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

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 2 points 8 hours ago

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

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

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 14 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I am afraid your out of luck either way.

[–] kipo@lemm.ee 5 points 11 hours ago

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

Well, I don't drink that bullshit so I couldn't care less.

Lime coke from those machines is delicious. Fight me.

[–] draughtcyclist@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Ginger lime diet coke is an abomination and I'm here for it.

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

[–] ComradePedro@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 hours ago

How are the buttons more hygienic?? A screen is much easier to clean or protect with plastic.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 2 points 15 hours ago (4 children)

Covid doesn't transmit on surfaces very well.

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

On the plus side, you can often position your cup in the often un-mixed stream to get more syrup.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 4 points 17 hours ago

This is why I always let the first second or so spray into the splash tray.

[–] sga@lemmings.world 11 points 21 hours ago

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

I've never seen either of these machines irl.

[–] slappypantsgo@lemm.ee 11 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

You’ve never seen a pop fountain? They’ve got them in all kinds of restaurants and movie theaters. Do you not go out much?

[–] Aux@feddit.uk 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Here in the UK when you go to a movie theatre, you're getting beer or wine. Maybe G&T if you're fancy.

[–] paranoia@feddit.dk 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Seems like you already go to a fancy cinema. I don't even think the cinemas I visited in the UK even had alcohol licenses.

[–] Aux@feddit.uk 1 points 4 hours ago

Since when Vue is fancy?

[–] 96VXb9ktTjFnRi@feddit.nl 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

I go to the movies once a week, but it's more of an arthouse place, where you're not bombarded at the entrance with sugary snacks and drinks. To give you an idea: I've never seen anyone eat popcorn there. I do go to restaurants but never to the likes of McDonalds and such, I imagine they would have these things? Perhaps they're also not that common in Europe?

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 12 hours ago

I can guarantee a majority of restaurants have these in the back, there's no other efficient way to do it.

~~Cloaca~~ master orifice

[–] InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 76 points 1 day ago (19 children)

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

[–] iamnotme@feddit.uk 2 points 11 hours ago

Unlike my ex wife

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 60 points 1 day ago (12 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?

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

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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

This hurts as someone who fixes both.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 hours ago

Confirm this for me. It's not one hole per drink on the first, isn't it? It's two per, since one is for the creamy thick syrup, the other is for fizzy water.

That's why you basically end up with soda water if the syrup is out.

That's correct, no?
