Well, I don't drink that bullshit so I couldn't care less.
All of that is unholy because the Coca Cola company is pure shit.
It gets worse. They hired hitmen to kill trade union leaders in Colombia.
I don't care what it comes out of as long as the machine is properly and regularly cleaned.
I am afraid your out of luck either way.
I have been straight up poisoned several times by improperly maintained soda fountains. I avoid them now.

Lime coke from those machines is delicious. Fight me.
Ginger lime diet coke is an abomination and I'm here for it.
On the plus side, you can often position your cup in the often un-mixed stream to get more syrup.
This is why I always let the first second or so spray into the splash tray.
I've never seen either of these machines irl.
You’ve never seen a pop fountain? They’ve got them in all kinds of restaurants and movie theaters. Do you not go out much?
Here in the UK when you go to a movie theatre, you're getting beer or wine. Maybe G&T if you're fancy.
Seems like you already go to a fancy cinema. I don't even think the cinemas I visited in the UK even had alcohol licenses.
I go to the movies once a week, but it's more of an arthouse place, where you're not bombarded at the entrance with sugary snacks and drinks. To give you an idea: I've never seen anyone eat popcorn there. I do go to restaurants but never to the likes of McDonalds and such, I imagine they would have these things? Perhaps they're also not that common in Europe?
I can guarantee a majority of restaurants have these in the back, there's no other efficient way to do it.
you can use pressurised air to clean the duct. Some verterbrates like to call it farts
Nothing open to the public should have a touch interface. Has Covid taught us nothing?
How are the buttons more hygienic?? A screen is much easier to clean or protect with plastic.
Covid doesn't transmit on surfaces very well.
Other things do.
Then we didn't learn it from covid.
A big thing with COVID was contact tracing. As in, knowing who and what you made contact with that could have been contaminated with your sick.
Surfaces were nontrivial in that whole context.
If you didn't learn contact tracing during COVID, were you even in lockdown?

You're confusing different things. "Contact tracing" has nothing to do with touching things. It just means you had some kind of contact with someone who had covid. Not even physical touch, just being relatively close.
Covid does not spread well through surfaces. This created huge waste as people were trying to deep clean with isopropyl alcohol, resulting in isopropyl alcohol shortages and companies putting in more dangerous forms of alcohol in hand sanitizer. It was completely unnecessary.

This hurts as someone who fixes both.
Confirm this for me. It's not one hole per drink on the first, isn't it? It's two per, since one is for the creamy thick syrup, the other is for fizzy water.
That's why you basically end up with soda water if the syrup is out.
That's correct, no?
