Feeling blessed wanted a sprite even though the machine didnt advertise it

Which one did you hit to get sprite? I feel like that would be a pretty big surprise if you were asking for a pepsi
Im a pepper man but I do like my sprite
I would be SO mad if I pressed Dr Pepper and the machine gave me this CocaCola crap
Upgrade if you’re going for a Canada Dry.
Hey now, calm down there buddy. I know you’re not shit talking ginger ale
Canada Dry sucks though. Need some strong ginger beer instead.
Unfriended, blocked, and reported to the better business bureau.

Jesus Christ, all the way to the BBB on offense one… you either are a true corpo, or you’d make a good scary one, hahaha!

Strike 3 and I demand to speak to your manager
Ginger ale my beloved
I’ll never understand the fondness for it. Every time I try it it just tastes exactly like Listerine mouthwash.
I’m a Fever Tree man.
I mean Fever Tree is obviously better but also costs three times as much.
And what kind of vending machine even has it? Does it even come in cans??
It does. Small cans though.
It’s cause there’s significantly more fresh ginger in them, and I believe more sugar? It’s a mixer soda for the most part but a ginger beer is pretty good in the morning with a couple bitters and some lime for a hangover too.
Can’t say I’ve ever had it. Who carries it? I’ll give it a try
Everywhere. It’s usually with the mixers for cocktails. It’s a ginger beer, not a ginger ale.
It’s even available in Estonia so it must be very widespread.
Ginger beer is the 🐐. The 365 ginger ale at whole foods (if they still make it, haven’t had it in like a decade) used to be the only tolerable ginger ale on the market that actually tasted like ginger.
I’ve only had their tonic water (with gin, very good). Didn’t know they made ginger ale…

that’s a ginger beer, not a ginger ale my friend.

gettem!

Recently I went to the hospital for a surgery. It was scheduled for 0630 and they told me no food or drink after 1800 the previous night. I heeded that. At 1100 they told me they were cancelling the surgery.

I said “does this mean I can have some water?” They laughed and brought me 28oz of ginger ale. It was delicious.

This is what I wanna know
Bet OP just got Sprite from home. “Oh, I didn’t get the sprite from the machine. Why would you assume that?”
Mmm a nice cold can of Dritc
It would’ve been even better if it offered you a Sprite Cranberry
Wow, that coke can design is the one from 1997
Coca-Cola^®^ and Pepsi^®^ products in the same vending machine? What sort of corporate heresy is this?
A privately run one
The machine spirits have blessed you.
The machine would not make a mistake!

What’s the difference between the two Canada Drys? I mean, the labels are obviously different, but they both just seem to be regular ginger ale from what I can make out. Any Canada Dry superfans that can clarify?
I think basically one is pretty much… just ginger ale flavor, and the other has more citrus flavoring as well.

I think they’re the same, just different pictures. There are other variants of Canada Dry, but they typically incorporate other colors to distinguish themselves.

I’m guessing this machine is in a high ginger ale demand area.

Just extra ginger ale because it’s the soda GOAT

(Though I’d have to say Seagram’s is better than Canada Dry. Both are better than that Schweppes swill though)

I won’t stand here for this Vernors heresy
Vernor’s is its own class, and I prefer it to drink on its own. But Canada Dry is better for mixed drinks. Excellent with scotch, and a way better mixer for rum than coke (fight me on it).
Name the time, name the place. Are we doing a dance off or a kiss off because I am very bad at both
first one says caffeine free
How do this machines work? I have never seen a single one in my country.
Those vendormachines is full of cans that are, depending on internal mechanism, put in corkscrews which will, once the motor is activated, pulled toward the front where they will fall down a chute that ends in the lower section of this machine. Once its there the operator can reach into the lower section and grab the can.
sprite is boycott. Try lemon soda instead.
Why?
Because they are part of Coca Cola Company which has activity in occupied Palestine.
Doesn’t activity in occupied Palestine mean they provide jobs for Palestinians? I’m confused…
Occupied Palestine = territory Israel has sieged
Oh okay, so it’s Israeli jobs in stolen Palestinian territory?
Yes. They wouldn’t give Palestinians jobs, that would get them bombed by the IDF.
Depending on what button I pushed I would be annoyed but fine, or aggravated. If I pay for caffeine and you give me this, I’m punching your machine.

Years ago I worked at a place with a soda machine. 25 cents in 2008. Crazy cheap.

But when I put a coin in and pressed the buttons just right, it would drop two. I drank so much soda back then.
