    I agree that it's cool.
    But,of course it it,I mean it's the next newest/big thing.
    You are gonna start to see these everywhere.
    And it's all for the money of course.

    But,I don't understand why people want to make soda machine with 100 different options instead of things that are eco friendly,things that can contribute to science and medical studies;etc.
    It doesn't make sense that something like this has been worked on for months instead of something more important,for the future.
    Because,if we want a better future;we're gonna have to all help out.
    And in my opinion,this isn't helping out at all,no matter how cool it might be.

    It's Coca-Cola. They are not going to make something that contributes to medicine or anything like that. They will donate, but all they're research goes to making new products so they can make more money and continue to be billionaires.

    *sigh*
    People want to make eco-friendly things and contribute to science and medical studies, and they are. It just so happens that a drinking machine is much easier to invent than a cure for AIDS, so this soda machine gets invented first and automatically we assume that the danger of AIDS is being ignored because we don't hear of any progress. Stupid.

    But wait! Let's take all scientists from all soda companies and have them work on the AIDS problem. That'll make things go a lot faster! Slick thinking right?
    Well, no. You want possibly creative minds to jump on the bandwagon and want them to try to untangle one of the most difficult knots of today while they may have to put hundreds of easier-to-concoct ideas in the fridge.
    Don't forget that these scientists are working outside of their field of expertise too. Your chances of a revolutionary idea don't summarize and many brainiacs will contribute little to nothing. Waste of manpower I'd say. I'd rather fill up the less urgent holes and leave the AIDS problem to people who don't have to force interest in Biomedics for the sake of altruism.

    Lol, I think people are making to big of a deal about all this. They are probably not going to invest any more money in this, and it is kinda funny and cool, so we might as well make the most of 'em while they last xD


    Although it probably is completely useless... It just goes to show you how lazy most of us Americans are.
