Modern Pop

Last week Cindy, April and I went to DoubleDave's for April's birthday. Little did we know that we were going to be sitting next to a modern marvel of technology!

I have never seen one of these before, but it was the electronic/touch screen fountain pop machine! Here's April in front of it, pondering her choice of pop...

You just pick what kind you want and then it goes to the next screen of all the different flavors of that brand (like if you picked Sprite, the next screen would let you pick from cherry Sprite, diet Sprite, etc.). Once you zeroed in on 'the one', then you just hit the big "easy" button and voila - pop is dispensed!

But of course, with any technology, there are glitches and error messages! The Diet Coke ran out while we were sitting there, so we got to watch the manager change out the cartridge of syrup.

Here's the the insides of the machine look like - when he had it open to replace the Diet Coke. So interesting!
