Starting Wednesday at Taco Time restaurants around the Puget Sound region, patrons will be able to choose from over 100 flavors of pop with their meal.

Coke is launching "Coca Cola Freestyle," described as the fountain of the future.
 
"It's kind of like a soda machine married an iPod. It gives you 106 flavors, soon to be 125," said Gene Farrell, the GM and VP of Coca-Cola Freestyle.
 
The machine has a touch screen that allows consumers to invent their own flavors as well, including a Gummy Bear flavor and Creamsicle.
 
Currently Coca-Cola Freestyle is in four Taco Time locations around the region and by the end of the month they will be in 15.
 
"At Taco Time Northwest, we strive to be the leader in fast dining with our high quality fresh products. Coca-Cola Freestyle gives us another opportunity to be a leader and give our guests many choices," said Robby Tonkin, President of Taco Time Northwest.

More flavors, more sugar, and it looks like the digital dispenser won't require as much energy to use as the old school push dispensers. I can see the bellies growing now!

Why is this "news"? Great 125 flavors of garbage, and not a single drink made of real fruit juice. No wonder we're a nation of FAT people.
