BIB - Bag in a Box
Standard format for soda and juice sryurps around the world. Dispensed via a fountain or a bargun.
Feel free to ask me any thing, installing and maintaining soda equipment is my life.
Just don't ask me anything about freestyle machines, cause I don't know jack about those monstrosities.
That is the first time that somebody made soda equipment sounds interesting and I am ready to dive into a new rabbithole while I cannot sleep 😆
What are "freestyle machines"?

I expected that response, see the fern video.
My reason for the dislike is it feels more like diagnosing a computer than a soda fountain. I enjoy old analog equipment. However the soda drinker side of me loves using them when they are working well.
Free-style is Coke's brand of pick-your-flavor touchscreen hell.
you asked the one thing they told you not to...
How much would it be to install a single flavor fountain in-home? And what would be the most expensive parts?
Shit I've been wondering this as well. It's probably not a super complicated mechanism behind the opaque facade.
What're your thoughts on SodaStream?
You can achieve the same results with any CO2 tank and a few brass fittings
Most CO2 tanks and brass fittings don't inject money into the Israeli economy - that's specific to Soda Stream. Also you won't lose your warranty on a CO2 tank for fizzing things that aren't water, but you will with Soda Stream. Also, without a real Soda Stream, you won't be forced to stay in each of a power outlet to run an LED that doesn't accomplish anything except giving the machine a reason to refuse to run without electricity.
Don't compromise - if you get a competing countertop fizzing system with a pretty case, it won't fund a genocidal state, void your warranty for fizzing juice, or require power for no good reason. These are unique Soda Stream advantages.
What was the worst thing you ever saw? I'm guessing if you maintained them you occasionally were called I to fix things when something went wrong. So what went wrong?
So I'm thinking of picking up a used system off Facebook, good or bad idea?
