I concur. Given the choice, I will always choose real sugar over HFCSZazu wrote:I agree. But there is a huge difference between either and corn syrup. Were customers given a choice, even with a wee price difference, I think the companies might be surprised at how many of us would pay more for better.

I know the guy that headed up the freestyle machine project. His daughter and my daughter were on the high school shooting team together. He also worked on setting up Club Cool. His family got to spend the whole summer in Orlando and the kids got to go to Disney every day. It was a really great benefit for his son that is severly autistic (but a really great kid) so that they could just stay until he was ready to leave and not feel like they had missed out on anything.

Yep, that verifies that the machine my son was raving about at lunch was a freestyle. We've now got one in the neighborhood.

I wish they would bring these to Canada! We are lucky to even find Cherry Coke in a store!

Actually, there is one on property in Anaheim. But it's not Guest Accessible. They put it in Eat Ticket. And of course, Google Maps points the location as being in Toontown, right outside the exit of Mickey's Movie Barn, rather than Backstaage, so they're going to be stupid guests asking where to find the damn thing.delsdad wrote:Imagine the chaos if the mouse put these machines in at the beverage stations at the resorts ! :D:

We have them at our local AMC chain. Great stuff -- even all the odd flavors of Fanta in Zero-calorie varieties!

Atlanta is much less surprising than where we live. I like smaller cities, but usually they come with more costs than we suffer in this one.kurtisnelson wrote:Just come to Atlanta, all of our fast food places have them now.

On second thought, if by "now" you mean "as of fairly recently," then I'm intrigued that you didn't get them way sooner than we did -- what with the World of Coke being there and all. Had to look up the name "World of Coke" because I'm always mixing up with the The Schmidt Museum of Coca-Cola Memorabilia in Elizabethtown, Ky, and wanting to call it the Coke Museum. Haven't been to either, but I still know they're very different animals. :p:
