On that new Coke dispenser: I suspect there's still boxes and boxes of syrup in the back for each.

I would think the innovation there is simply eliminating the 1:1 correlation between syrup bags and nozzles. You can have a lot more brands of pop if each one doesn't need 5 inches of real estate on the front of the unit with its own nozzle.

Nope. Tiny, tiny packets of super concentrated flavorings. -- (link) - TWuG Aug 6, 13:40 8
- That's cool. May fix the problem of the balance between the soda and the syrup often being wrong. -- nm - Mop (face it, the scale says 240 lbs) Aug 6, 13:54
- rut ro ... I sense a backlash coming from people that LOVE "Fountain Coke" - ie. it tastes better than canned or bottled - everyone will be trying to - JenBro Aug 6, 13:44 3
  - I was just wondering if people would claim a difference in flavors between traditional syrup and the cartridge flavor. -- nm - TWuG Aug 6, 13:46 2
    - oh you KNOW they will ... and then Ted Allen will have an episode about it to prove there IS a difference on his food science show. -- nm - JenBro Aug 6, 13:47 1
      - My guess is that some people will legitimately notice a difference but loads more will just think they do. - TWuG Aug 6, 13:49
- I stand corrected. -- nm - Ender Aug 6, 13:41 2
  - Sadly, you're stuck with the pre-programmed flavors. I'd love a freestyle option. - TWuG Aug 6, 13:45 1
    - You can always fill your glass part way with coke and partway with sprite. -- nm - Ender Aug 6, 14:33
