  I think my life expectancy has increased due to the amount of fast food joints I no longer go to cus they swapped to the freestyle machine. One person trys one of the 73 God awful fruit variations and everyone who goes after them has to too
context: By the can is better. I wish they’d just hand me a can. Better taste and I get the “kshssah” while opening it. >
  
  They have fountains because they can add a drop of syrup and 99.9999% water. It's ridiculous. >
  
  Agree 100%. People always get excited about them because of all the flavors, but they all taste  terrible. I'd rather have a plain coke from a dedicated soda fountain than any of the horridly offensive Frankensoda concoctions those machines churn out. >
  
  You haven't lived until you've had a vanilla mountain dew. >
  
  Not to mention, I used to be able to fill up 2 drinks at once. Now I have to click through a bunch of menus (and hope the touchscreen reads correctly). >
  
  Everytime I get a drink from one of these it seems to have a residual lime taste. No matter where I go, always tastes a little like lime.  🤢 >
  
  You say “traditional” fountains, as if the soda fountains you see in McDonalds are the actual traditional fountains.
  You need to find an old-fashioned soda fountain place that actually serves sodas by pumping the syrup, putting in the carbonated water and stirring it. >
  
  That sounds like a tap not a fountain. . . >
  
  That’s how soda fountains were. >
