How do you feel being in control of your own soda-fountain destiny?
- Charles Ferruzza
- Soft drinks are suddenly filled with hard choices.
Never have so many adults had so many choices. Coca-Cola Freestyle machines — the soda-pop dispenser is on steroids — are popping up all over the metro (Pitch critic Charles Ferruzza took one for a test spin last month).
Most of us have been amateur mixologists for years, adding a dash of Dr. Pepper to Diet Coke at a sub shop or vanilla flavoring at a gas station. But we’ve never been given 127 flavors — some mistakes are going to be made (as evidenced by Serious Eats, which drank every single offering from a Coca-Cola Freestyle machine). Left to your own devices, do you think you’ll make good choices or will you succumb to the allure of Coke Zero with Orange? Are you ready for this kind of soft-drink responsibility?
