    Sigh… Your supposed to let it run for a second when you switch drinks. Noone wants to drink homeopathic Fanta, or I-Cant-Believe-Its-Not Coke with lime.

        I was a bit of an amateur mixologist as a child, and the top machine was my pallet.

        But what was more, the corner store gas station that was down the street from my childhood home had multiple machines, each with 4 or 5 different drink options.

        Years later, a friend of mine worked there as a summer job and told the friend group to avoid the fountain drinks so we did, and probably all still do.

          Fountain drink dispensers just don’t get cleaned. I worked at a fast food restaurant for 3 years; I think I saw someone go after the ice maker once. The nozzles get soaked overnight, but the inside might as well as been a black box.
