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.

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

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

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

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

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?

[–] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week 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.)

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

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (3 children)

There’s also a QR code you can scan to control it via your phone. I’m sure no one has exploited that.

I use my semi erect pinky to push it just to be safe.

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

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 45 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

At least in males they aren't getting that luxury.

Right, because pee is stored in the balls

water man

You can use the term "Aqua Man" to sound fancier.

And the water always tastes like shit out of these because they don't clean the tip. On the old style it was always sharing lemonade or Powerade and you could just run the line for a second or two to clear it

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

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

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

You don't have that? Where are you?

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Most modern pumps in the US have one hose and buttons to select the grade. You’ll get a bit of the previous customer’s selection from what was left over in the line, but it’s not a huge difference if you’re getting 10 gallons. It can be a bigger deal for something with a small tank, like a motorcycle.

Diesel still gets its own hose, as putting diesel into a gas car or vice versa can be very bad.

I feel like the context of "the opposite of 1 hole per beverage" gives a good vague explanation. Another is "how I pictured women's anatomy before I took a health class."

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

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I am afraid your out of luck either way.

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