Randomness: Fountain Drinks of the Future…Now!

Dig if you will these pictures of one of the coolest contraptions I have seen in a long time. We made a stop at a Jack In The Box near the San Juan Capistrano area a few weeks ago and saw this nifty new machine. After I paid for my food, the cashier gave me a cup and pointed me in the direction of where he said the fountain drinks were located.  I stood there in front of the thing for about a minute before looking up, and saw the instructional sign (pictured below).

What’s incredibly cool about this machine is that once you press your drink selection, you are then given even more selections, such as different flavors. For instance if you choose Sprite, the next screen after pushing the Sprite icon would have different flavors of Sprite, including raspberry and others.

My mom and I thought that we were the only ones that marveled at the machine upon first approach. But we watched another set of customers do the exact same thing we did: stand and stare at the thing until they realized that they needed to know how to work the thing, which forced them to look up and find the instructions. The cashier stated that they are the only Jack In The Box with this new fangled machine. We hope it comes to a Box near us soon!
