Used to. But now it's fucking awful, as all the flavors got caught up in a total shitstorm after the first couple years.

You can't even get a normal coke now without it tasting like any combination of the freestyle flavors.

Good at first, though.

I have a love-hate relationship with it. No joke, Coke Freestyle is what got me addicted to soda again after quitting for two years. When I heard of it and finally encountered one I just had to try it, see if the cherry flavor was better than regular Cherry Coke, and finally get the chance to try Coke with lime again. Now I'm still addicted but I don't even like the add-ins that much anymore. At most I'll do half add-in and half regular Coke because full add-in is too much.

Also, I hate that it's all pre-selected options for different soda types. Why can't I just mix in whatever flavors I want with whatever soda I want?

No.
As Krow said, they all taste a bit off because of the other flavors going through the same line. A local Fuddruckers has one and I can't remember the last time anything tasted right.
I've had many times where someone would take forever trying to figure out either how to operate it or going back and forth through all the options and there isn't another machine to go to.
When it breaks down, it likely will require a service call, so something that was an easy fix now takes hours or possibly days.
I've never seen Cherry Coke offered, but rather Coke with cherry flavoring, which is not the same thing.

I never really noticed the flavor "mixing" you guys are talking about. I do notice they seem to shoot out a small amount of plain water each time you dispense, so I kind of thought that it was self-cleaning in a sense. Maybe you guys are on to something though, they don't seem as good to me anymore, but I figure that's just my tastes changing.

They first started appearing within a year after I gave up soda, but I loved it at the time. If a restaurant has it, Ill typically just get a Hi-C. Ive never had any issues with the taste.

The flavors don't use the same line, each of the BiBs are connected via pvc hoses separately. Service calls are handled in a day, tops, unless the store doesn't buy through Coke, but through their own distributor; but that only applies to when a flavor is out. Servicing the machine usually happens within 12 hours.

^ There's only one output, so they have to share the same line at some point. I also can't imagine that every single flavor has its own separate complete line since there would need to be 100 or so lines in it.

Every base flavor has it's own BiB and then the flavoring is mixed in.
They have different lines connecting the BiBs to the machine, along with the regulator and carbonator.

So the hose lines in the back are separate because the concentrate stays in the line pretty much always except when the bag is empty. So those lines get stained with the flavoring. The dispenser line is a non-issue because it just pumps the mixture out, and it comes out in different amounts and essentially mixes it in the drink for you. So the dispenser isn't going to be a reason for the drinks tasting off because the concentrate doesn't just sit in the hose like it does with the BiBs. This is a part of my job, so I can confirm that you are wrong.

This is how they work?? Aww. I've only ever bought from places with the machine where the staff fills it for you. I like it just because of vanilla Coke. But that's not much of a freestyle if you're just picking menu options

Err... reading this back, I'm not sure my post was clear. To clarify, the flavors are mixed in real-time at the machine. So the vanilla Coke you get is different than bottled vanilla Coke. I just meant that, for example, you can get lime Coke, but you can't try lime Dr. Pepper because the only Dr. Pepper options are cherry and cherry vanilla IIRC.

Some bars, not all though. Some bars actually cook from scratch. But you wouldn't know anything about that because you're just parroting other people's ignorant jokes.

Bar food can be healthy or it can be crap. The fact that you don't know the difference speaks volumes.

Nope, I never tell people they are dumb for eating fast food.

1. looking down on someone doesn't have to equal you telling them they are dumb.
2. saying "i never tell people they are dumb for eating fast food." implies that you do think they are dumb.

Right. I stand by what I said. You should be able to have vanilla lime Dr. Pepper if it was truly freestyle

It's alright. Nothing to hit home about.

I usually opt for a cup of water instead if I'm eating in a fast food restaurant during lunch time to stay "healthier". (Yeah I know, fast food isn't healthy in the first place but I rarely add soda to that is what I mean.)

But one drink I do kind of dig is Coke with Cherry and Vanilla. Depends on how watered down it is, it can taste pretty decent.

It literally does nothing different than a normal fountain machine in terms of creating foam. I can't even believe that you actually think that there's a difference. I mean, seriously. I feel stupid just from having read that.

On one hand, only one person can use it at a time. On the other hand, a lot of people have a bad habit of blocking the whole soda fountain when filling their drink, so it doesn't make too big of a difference in practice. On the other other hand, some people seem to take a long time to decide on a drink, so that can make things take longer.

The Burger King near me is out of the majority of the options most of the time I go, but that's more a management problem than a problem with the machine itself (the problems with the location go deeper than a mere drink machine). I actually like having all the Freestyle options, though.

I think I saw the Pepsi version of this at Subway. The cashier didn't say anything about how it worked, I just paid for a drink and got nothing, I was so confused. She didn't even point towards the machine or anything. Once I figured it out it was kind of neat. I liked that I could fill up with pop and not ice for one thing.

You can get a sodawater mess from the machines, though.

one time i ordered something and it was just slightly flavored sodawater, and i ordered an actual regular soda.

but that was one time, mostly my experiences are good.

@Kevman510

Yes it does. it makes too much foam. i can easily fill up my cup at Chipolte or McDonalds with the normal dispenser. It takes like 2 times and probably 5 second of waiting for the foam to die down. Hell it's shorter if i fan down the foam. I go to Wingstop, Fuddrucker or Pei Wei, i have to wait literally a good 45 second for the foam to die down and see that it only filled up half the cup. Then i try to fill it up again and wait again to see it's now 3/4 filled. then i try to fill it up again and have to wait. Maybe the person who sets up the ones in my area doesn't know how to properly adjust the the dispenser to not have so much foam. It's not the same in my area.

I guess I can't remember for sure. If I look up whether Subway is Coke or Pepsi, I get Coke, but then it also says that Papa John's is Coke, but I know the Papa John's near here is Pepsi, I'm drinking a Pepsi from them right now. So I won't know for sure till I go back there if ever I do.
