There it is. That should have been the post title.

Counter argument: Vanilla Coke

Also being able to get anything in diet instead of just one or two things.

Do you not have those syrup things? Pretty much every gas station has one.

Second counter argument: peach sprite

Or like 3 different nonstandard fruit flavored sprites. At once

water man

You can use the term "Aqua Man" to sound fancier.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Nah, that's different. Water man is the grown up version of the water boy.

It's also annoying to use, slower and can't serve multiple people at the same time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

So, NOT great at an orgy.

I think the extra annoyance is counteracted by the gains in customizability IMO

Where else are you going to be able to get Peach Sprite or Vanilla Fanta?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

Or diet everything.

Almost any gas station has those syrup pumps, and here in Utah, we have a soda shop (like Swig) on almost every corner.

I thought tea was illegal in Utah.

Yeah, we had two of these replace the old school style drink stations at the hospital I work at. They had to bring back one of the old machines because the new machines were causing so much congestion in the cafeteria. Pretty sure the hardware in these predate blackberrys, they take forever to recognize any input from the screen.

Plus if you are just trying to get water, it gets slightly contaminated from whatever beverage the last person got. Especially if it's blue powerade for some reason.

why are you getting plain water from the soda machine when there HAVE to be semi-decent water fountains in a hospital? the powerade splashed water is on you at that point.
