I have yet to see one of these machines... What's so special about them and where are they at? Is it a BK thing or are they gonna show up in 7-11's too?

I read about them several months ago, State of Hockey would have many more details when he see this. From what I read, it is a machine that allows you to make thousands of combinations of flavors, and any combination you want, and then dispenses your drink. You're not limited to the 10 options on the normal machine that are pre-mixed syrups. So if you wanted grape flavored coke, or cherry root beer, or watermelon apple sprite, you could make any of those from the flavor combinations in the machine. When I read about them, they were only available at a small number of test locations, it appears that now they have rolled them out to more locations.

Does it automatically post your drink combination on your facebook page and simulataneously send out a tweet? No? Well, guess what's next!

Those machines are nuts. The computer inside is in constant contact with the Atlanta headquarters. They know what flavors people are getting and where in real time.

They have the Freestyle machine I take it? I got a raspberry-flavored Sprite from one of those machines at Davanni's Pizza (Twin Cities chain), and it was kind of awesome.

Five Guys is good, in fact better than most, but I never understood the hype. For chains, I prefer Culver's. For local, this place blows 5G, Culver's, and the rest away. Their bleu cheese burger is just about burger nirvana.

I'd like to add Sonic to that list, BPH. Never been disappointed.

Also- Hardee's has the best mushroom swiss burger around. Too bad I have to drive to distant area codes to find it. None in my locale.

Sonic: good food and the drinks are great, but only if I'm within 5 miles. I'm not driving halfway across the state to eat there, like some people do.
Wendy's: used to be better, now... meh. Better burgers than McD's or BK, subpar compared to the rest. Also, their new fries are really not that good.

The new BK soda machine is magic. I got a sugar free peach-flavored Sprite Zero the other day. The trip before that? Caffeine-free vanilla diet coke.

Sonic? Sonic is horrible.

Had the new Wendy's last night. Great burger, definitely the best of the big three chains. I'm still putting Culver's and In-n-out as top dog though. Fries, on the other hand, were awful. Incredibly salty and incredibly soggy with no taste otherwise. It was like eating wet paper someone covered in salt.

Re: New Burger King burger vs. new Wendy's

They weren't bad. Better than their last "omg new formula!", but maybe it was just because they were saltier.


Five Guys is great if you don't mind a sloppy, greasy burger.
Smashburger is overrated - good, but not for the price.
Hardee's still has the best fast food burgers...
...tied more or less with Culvers.
BK just isn't good, but I go for the onion rings with Zesty or Buffalo sauce, sometimes the Triple Stacker, and the nostalgia.
McDonalds has the best fries, but otherwise it's just the cheapest. Fun to get bacon on things there though, now that it's an option.

FYI: Burger King is giving away free small orders of their new fries today.

I got a couple spicy nuggets for her.

Speaking of nuggets...what's everyone's dipping sauce? I like buffalo...maybe honey mustard at Wendy's.

Have you seen the REAL Wendy in the latest commercials? Not even comparable to that bit of artistic license.

They were tempted to use "Blackula," but backed out at the last minute.

There is no "k" in Blacula.

But even with the spelling error, still the best opening credits in film history:
