    Well, on one hand we have people already hooked on the product. On the other hand, we have to get more people in the loop. Hook... loop... hook... loop...

    Oh, man, I need to get a grip!

    Holy. Crap. I've got it. #velcroads

    It's the same principle as TV ads that play at higher volume than the program, or pop-up ads and flash overlays on the internet; they figure that, if they annoy you, they'll get your attention.

    In this case, while you struggle to free your wool overcoat from the velcro, you'll notice that Coke bottle and think, "Oh, hey, Coke! I can go for one now!" You know, rather than, "This aggravation I'm feeling is all Coke's fault! I'll never drink one again just to spite them!" #velcroads

    There is also the carrying of aromatics out of the beverage through the carbonation, as per the recent articles on champagne bubbles. (e.g. [www.guardian.co.uk]). This only refers to bubbly, but I would be rather surprised if the same principle was not at work in other carbonated beverages. After all, beer and cola are full of aromatics as well. #gizmodoremainders

    Wait so nobody felt the need to post about the baby nearly dying because it wasn't 'gadget-related' enough for Gizmodo, but you jumped in with a BREAKING article about a balloon flying away? And then posted 5 more articles about the most retarded hoax ever, even though it didn't have any "cellphone-related mayem?" #gizmodoremainders

    @G-Ram: the balloon is actually a really cool gadget (er...was). Apparently once it was filled with helium there was a small electrical current applied to parts of the outer skin to help it navigate. I have no idea of the physics of it all (or even if it would work, since this guy is a bit weird as it is) but that's the story.

    Whether or not giz knew that at the time is another thing. I think they just wanted to get a bit more site traffic :) #gizmodoremainders

    This is awesome, reminds me of Star Trek TNG's replicator. I suggest they have a pot of coffee on the side of the machine for the old people who "Can't figure out these crazy things".

    Here's hoping for the Captain Morgan & Coke option. All you have to do is slide your universal ID or wave your RFID implant in front of the sensor and it'll dispense the hard stuff....

    In Brazil it's hard enough to spot a standard Coke machine, let alone one of those...
    We still have only the basic stuff (probably less than 1/10th the flavors US has) and even the standard flavors are kinda altered.

    I remember liking Cherry Coke in a trip to Miami, but when they released it in Brazil it tasted like crap.

    Loved Caramel Coke too. We don't even have Dr. Pepper here... it's like living in HELL I SAY!!!!

    Anyways, back to beverage machines, I dunno about US these days, but in Japan they have hot and cold beverages... which is pretty awesome too. Having coffee and hot tea on a cold day is great.

    Good technology. It's basically all their brands that you can add 1 of 6 flavors to.

    I love soda machines that have flavor syrups that you can add as much as you want instead of selecting the flavor and having the machine add it's own proportion of syrup.

    Best mix ever: Grape Dr. Pepper.

    I found one of these at Willy's in Buckhead (Atlanta), GA on Roswell Road. The drink selection is crazy! I also recorded a quick video on my iPhone of a bud making his selection.

    Here's my findings:
    • Ice over dispenses and has a small catch basin so most of it ends up on the floor. Don't slip!
    • Soda over dispenses as well so it's necessary to release the "Pour" button about 2 inches before you reach the rim or else you overflow.
    • Kids think this is a soda-sampler-machine and do the taste-n-dump method causing a 10+ deep waiting line during off peak hours.
    • Aesthetically pleasing! A gorgeous hi-tech machine with tons of flavor options.
