    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.

      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.

    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

      Not sure about that, but I did see numerous new Coca-Cola products in new flavors that I assume they put together by scraping metrics from these; and if I remember correctly they do have cellular interface.

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

    FYI, those machines are rarely cleaned.

    • finitebanjo@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      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.

    • Harvey656@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      … is that the reason some places drinks taste different?

      source
      • LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        That’s usually because the syrup to carbonated water ratio is different. But yeah I’m sure if you never clean the lines it won’t be as good. (Or if you have some weirdness where people are swapping the soda lines. Should be rare though, as you don’t want to swap which one says coke/sprite/w.e on the other end

    No flavor customization options ❌

    At least 6 flavor shots available to add to the base flavor ✅

      Six flavor shots that mix with all the others and end up just tasting like a combination of them all. 😷

        Actually its like crazy precise tube delivery some guy made a fortune engineering it 👍 So that exact doesn’t happen

        Surgical machines use it now it was revolutionary at the time

        “John D. McCarthy’s patents focus on various aspects of beverage dispensing, including systems that enhance the efficiency and accuracy of drink preparation. His innovations have paved the way for automated systems that can mix and dispense beverages with precision, which is crucial in both commercial and medical applications.”

    If the drink cloaca is unholy, call me a heathen.

    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.

    Just pick your poison and dispense for like 1 second into the tray. Yes it’s wasteful, but that’s their fault for making you have to flush the tube.

    I’ll take the single outlet cartridge loaded one over the several feet of bacteria laden tubes sucking on bags from the other.

    • MBech@feddit.dk ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Same as with any other? You pick one flavour first, and then another.

      Many of them even let you choose one to mix with when you choose a flavour.

        I always mix Coke, Fanta, Fanta exotic and Sprite. Really delicious. Here in Sweden you pour yourself in some restaurants.
