I'll take the single outlet cartridge loaded one over the several feet of bacteria laden tubes sucking on bags from the other.
Hotdogs are down the hallway
No fucking thanks. These machines are disgusting bacteria farms.

I have worked in fast food before and cleaned out the normal ones and I know how infrequently they get cleaned.

Yes, it's obvious that soda fountains are bacteria farms, but what about the comparison of models? We're trying to determine how significant the difference is
Good thing I get mine from 7-eleven where they are known for their high hygiene standards.
If the drink cloaca is unholy, call me a heathen.
It's not a "cloaca dispenser", it doesn't dispense cloacas. It is a "soda cloaca", it has all sodas coming out the same hole.
Can I get one of them Cloaca-Colas
Here you go!
Kingdom of Loathing... how I miss you sometimes.
I recently started playing again after a 15 year break. It's changed quite a bit and I'm having a blast. Don't miss it, go play it :)
Edit: I take it back. Don't actually. See below :(
Omg, that is fucking disgusting. Thank you for letting me know.
I used to be happy to see these because I knew I'd have more than one option that wasn't carbonated. Many places usually have 1, which is either fake lemonade with artificial sweetener, fruit punch (0% juice), or Orange High-C. Which I'm glad they don't claim is juice, because it's just delicious sugar water.
I'm happy to see them because I get more sugar free choices than water or diet cola.
I’ll take the cloaca one every time. They got damn fine choices.
In my experience, the flavors are not the same, not calibrated correctly or something.
Selects regular Dr. Pepper.
Received a cup of seltzer water with a drop of syrup.
For the bottom machine, run the faucet for a few seconds before you put your cup under it. Last thing anyone wants is half-watered down cherry coke or homeopathic fanta.
Homeopathic Fanta lol, I'm gonna use this in the future
FYI, those machines are rarely cleaned.
FR, the lines on the top machine get hooked up to a metering pump whose intakes are
A. Bag of "Soda" syrup which comes in a box
B. Air Tank of Carbonation
C. Water
The outlet hoses themselves are transparent so a lot of serious issues would be noticed and rectified, but in general stores don't implement proper protocol to clean or change them out regularly. There is actually a couple of bacterial strains found almost exclusively in the lines, I've had the priviledge to examine them in person. They're rarely very harmful but it's kind of neat.
The actual machine people see usually only houses the refrigeration unit with the pumps and bags and tank on the other side of a wall or hidden under a counter.
Umm... Around the year 2000 I worked at a couple of different convenience stores in the south, ours were never cleaned, shit they were rarely changed with the exception of Mountain Dew and Dr Pepper because our regulars would tear through them. I remember the lines being clear...ish? They had the embedded nylon or whatever in the clear tube but ours were way nastier than my 18 year old brain wanted to realize.
i like to think the soda dispenser bacteria enhances my biological profile
Your immune system is going to hate it but your gut biome is going to love it.
Babe can I get one of them Cloaca-Colas
Those vending machines have facial recognition cameras on them.
Source?
Seriously this was like the third result, just google it

OK so not the one from the picture then.
Edit: yeah, no camera. So the new one has a camera, but the old one, the one from the meme, does not. I’ve never seen the new one, have seen plenty of the old one.

Interesting.
Yeah, says so right there in the brochure. "Video capability" AND it's got bluetooth, which is a famously promiscuous protocol so if you're anywhere near one of these things with BT enabled on your fone it's fucking in your BT, seeing your status
edit: I bet it can even tag me driving by listening to Spotify on my earbuds. I can get a lot further from my phone than I'd be from the drink machine in who knows how many fast food spots before service drops.
That's actually pretty terrifying now that I think about it and I've long been a fan of BT earbuds but damn, these drink machines and any number of unknown nodes could just be watching me drive around
Anyone with a spectrum analyzer can see people using their earbuds, they can't deduce any useful information from that. Several analyzers? Yea, can triangulate signals, so what. They still can't know for sure who they belong to, since BT doesn't transmit identifying info unless you're pairing (aka discoverable), and even then it can be randomized.
Also I posted in in a different comment but I'll leave this here too.
I can get a lot further from my phone than I'd be from the drink machine in who knows how many fast food spots before service drops.
A typical fast food restaurant has dozens, if not hundreds of wifi and bt devices. Nothing surprising when your phone has to fight to get loud enough for your buds.
From a quick search, bluetooth classic has 79 channels, and if there's 2.4Ghz Wifi in use, it has 14 in damn near the same frequency range.
If you're worried about tracking - there are far easier ways to do that than hope your BT devices are discoverable and then try and match the (possibly randomized) device IDs to you.
Good points, thanks
Interesting.
No flavor customization options ❌
At least 6 flavor shots available to add to the base flavor ✅
Yo dawg, I heard you like sugar so I put sugar in your sugar.
