Coke's Freestyle Soda Fountain

Read about these Coke dispensers in Fast Company over a year ago. But I finally got to try one at Pei Wei last week.

Only one spout for all drinks + ice, and one touch screen gives you over 100 drink options, from Diet Caffeine -Free Vanilla Coke to Peach Fanta.

And the machine's wired so all the data goes back to Coke's headquarters in Atlanta. According to Fast Company, "The machines upload data about beverage consumption, peak times, and popular locations. Coke can also talk back to the machine, letting it know if a particular flavor needs to be discontinued or recalled and causing it to stop serving the drink immediately."
