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.

How much would it be to install a single flavor fountain in-home? And what would be the most expensive parts?

What're your thoughts on SodaStream?

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?

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.

So I'm thinking of picking up a used system off Facebook, good or bad idea?
