I don’t want my cola mixing with Sprite in the drink cloaca! I just want my fries and greasy burger with a crisp white sprite you damn kids don’t understand!

That sounds like a furry-branded cola.
(Furry artists should be more embrasing of the cloaca)

I bought an old classic soda dispenser and I can tell you that no matter how much you clean the root beer spout, you will always taste root beer if you switch out the drink to coke.
Same goes for coke to sprite. You can taste the coke, it’s just not as bad as the root beer.
SippyCup@lemmy.ml 1 hour ago
So those old soda dispensers are supposed to be broken down and cleaned every couple of days. When I worked at a restaurant we had a service contact with Coca-Cola to do it. I worked at a TGIChillibees so it’s not like the maintenance contract was a big deal. Smaller family owned restaurants probably can’t afford it, and don’t take the time to do it.
jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 1 hour ago
Ya, I got sick of cleaning it that it just became a soda water dispenser. Lol
ObviouslyNotBanana@piefed.world 5 hours ago
Makes sense. Root beer has a really specific, pretty strong taste. So does coke, but not in the same manner.
jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 3 hours ago
I tried bleach, vinegar, a bunch of different enzymes. Just ended up giving up and buying a whole new dispenser and spout. Essentially was contaminated from the inside out.

It’s not unholy, it’s just less holy. There is still one hole.

The cloaca is the orifice of champions and I will not stand for this cloaca slander. Libel. Whatever.
I’m gonna sit for it because I’m shitting

How the fuck do you make a suicide with the cloaca?
phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 19 hours ago
Instead of levers you have to choose on the screen.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 18 hours ago
I’m sure it’s just a software thing, because even with the flavor mix-ins, they didn’t give you every possible combination at any I’ve personally used.
Click Coke, you get Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero, and then, like, Vanilla, Cherry, Lemon, Lime, etc flavors. Click Sprite and now the only flavor options are Orange and Cherry. Why the hell can I not have vanilla sprite? Why are all the other soda options not also a mix-in flavor option? Make it make sense!

I want to hack one of these machines so I can dial in a precise and repeatable mix. =3
Bahnd@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
Sigh… Your supposed to let it run for a second when you switch drinks. Noone wants to drink homeopathic Fanta, or I-Cant-Believe-Its-Not Coke with lime.

Wrong.
It’s called swamp water, and as kids we loved it. Mixem all up!i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 hours ago
That is a lot better than what we called them: a suicide.
Swamp water is the name of a regional beverage where I am.

I was a bit of an amateur mixologist as a child, and the top machine was my pallet.
But what was more, the corner store gas station that was down the street from my childhood home had multiple machines, each with 4 or 5 different drink options.
Years later, a friend of mine worked there as a summer job and told the friend group to avoid the fountain drinks so we did, and probably all still do.

This leaves me to wonder why not every restaurant has switched to the Freestyle machine as yet. :-(

Hundreds of feet of uncleanable moldy tubes vs. one easily cleanable opening.
PwnTra1n@lemmy.world 17 hours ago
There’s just as many moldy tubes just less moldy nozzles, and less doesn’t mean 0 now
JizzmasterD@lemmy.ca 17 hours ago
I don’t even care. The lime-flavoured Diet Coke allows me to transcend the vastness of space and time in a trance-like state.
Yummers.
Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
Worked at a fast food place ages ago, and I remember cleaning the caps of each fountain of the top image: they were pretty horrific. Another poster mentioned mold… they’re not exaggerating. They were probably the second-nastiest surface in the restaurant, second only to the floor of the bathrooms.
Now, I’m under no illusion that the Cloa-Cola dispenser is actually sanitary, but it’s gotta be better than the other model.
ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 15 hours ago
People I met who worked at a dessert factory said “no one cleans the ice cream machine because it smells bad when you open it”
Not to say they shouldn’t be shutdown but I bet mold is more common than people think.
Ardyssian@sh.itjust.works 14 hours ago
Heh - Cloaca Cola
i_dont_want_to@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 hours ago
I can taste when they haven’t cleaned the nozzles for a very long time. I try not to think about how moldy they are even when I can’t taste it.
Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
What did it for me was the bugs. Those little fruit-fly fuckers… they love sugar, and those taps are a concentrated source. Until someone turns it on, and they get blasted off the tube and stuck onto the sticky inside surface of the cap, where they die and continue to get blasted with concentrate, so there’s this membrane of soda residue, dead fruit flies, and mold.
…infact the taste you’re referencing might legit be rotting bugs if it has a kind of rancid protein flavor.
I wonder how many of those fruit flies get blasted straight into people’s drink vs onto the edge of the cap, where they’re just sucked up through a straw and drank by a customer who’s none the wiser.
Nom nom.

I enjoy the cloaca for the liquid choices and varities it provides.
My only complaint is the screen is never clean
lemming741@lemmy.world 15 hours ago
The screen is the dirty part you’re worried about?
arrow74@lemmy.zip 14 hours ago
Pretty much yeah. I know the nozzle is dirty, but that’s just food stuff. Plus it’s a problem even with the regular fountain.
The grime and snot on the screen comes from unknown sources. I don’t like that
Gork@sopuli.xyz 14 hours ago
Screen also has pretty poor responsiveness. Have to tap at it a few times to get it to register your input.
