Coca-Cola Readying 100-Flavor Soda Fountains

Early prototypes underwent testing earlier this summer and second-gen units are headed for limited markets early next year -- the same thing they said about those self-cooling bottles last year. Assuming they do come to market, swapping out the highly-concentrated flavors is likened to changing a print cartridge, meaning new choices can come and go quickly depending on popularity. It all sounds refreshing, but we're not looking forward to the lines as the thirsty yet indecisive ponder 15 different flavors of Diet Coke. [From: ajc.com]

this machine will never make it to the market. this number of flavors would create a storage and dispensing nightmare that no account would want to bother with. accounts with even eight or twekve flavors have storage and dispensing issues. on average an eight flavor system takes up the same amount of room as two full sized refrigerators. now multiply that space by ten. that would completely take up an entire mcd's store. no more cheeseburgers i guess.

Will any of the extra flavors be ORIGINAL COKE,,,you know the one from the 50's that had that great crystal clear aftertaste .The one they had before "new coke" or the brand new taste called "coke classic"
You know the one that most coke drinkers would have paid an extra ten cents a bottle for.

I think that would be great, hopefully bring in like Raspberry Coke, and other flavors other than Vanilla Coke and Cherry Coke.
Just as long as they dont get rid of Mello Yello, its so much better than Mountain Dew, and one of their better softdrinks,
Mello Yello is the best product Coca-Cola has come out with other than Regular Coke. So hopefully everyone call up your local Coca-Cola Bottling company 1-800-GET-COKE
and tell them how much you want to see Mello Yello in your city, stores, gas stations and local Vending Machines.
