I have a little 16gb USB drive that I bring when I go to Five Guys Burgers, and when the people working there aren't looking, I get behind the machine and use a flathead screwdriver to dislodge the cover panel that protects the rear diagnostic port from overflows. Then I use a plain ol' pocket knife to pop out the two front monitoring cables so I can push them aside and reach the USB port that below the main motherboard in the rear. I found a torrent file of the proprietary OS those machines use, and if you format a 16gb (or smaller) USB drive with it (and flash it properly), you can get into most machines that way. Also on that USB drive I've got a bunch of encoded custom drink files that are automatically uploaded to the machine via batch files, so once it reads the drive, the choices will soon appear (within 10 seconds) on the main screen. I then simply push a button and bam, got the custom drink of my choice! It took me a few straight days to figure out how to do all this, but I can upload a text file and put the BIOS and poo poo on dropbox if you want.

you ain't really sodabreaking until you secretly inject your custom flavor mixtures directly into the machine and code in a special button combination so only you can access them

A restaurant I go to got rid of their freestyle machine because the inability to make more than one drink at a time was bottlenecking them. Coke should probably fix that.

I just hope they stick around because there's several awesome flavors of soda that are pretty much exclusive to them.

Granted after a while it stops feeling like so many choices and you narrow down your favorites, but that's still like 10x the options you had before

They just got one of these and I want to know what are the good combinations to get for drinks from this machine. I tried the peach flavored diet come and it was okay I guess, pretty much exactly what I expected so what should I try to really get the most of this machine because everybody seems to be crazy about it. Also is there really a secret because my friend told me there is a secret code you can press but I think he is just trying to get me to press a bunch of things I dont need to and spray soda all on my chest and everything

all of them suck because nowhere ever cleans them so you go for a diet dr pepper or something and it tastes like hic mellow yellow diet dr pepper
