They have a bank of these at the AMC 24 Theatres at Pleasure Island. SWMBO was stoked at all the variations.

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.

The downside of these machines is the line that can form. Our favorite pizza place has one, and the line gets backed up. However, when people tell me to hurry, I just give them the look...

I think the machines are fun. I have had to teach a few people how to actually used them though. I dont understand what is so hard about a touch screen and pushing a big flashing button that says PUSH.

I really get annoyed when there are lines of people and you get that one person so amazed by the different flavors they have to stand there and try different samples of each to find the ONE.

Yeah, I usually help a few people each visit. I try stuff when there is no line. I am trying to get the CFO to release funds to get one at home :D:

Don't know about that but I know Universal has installed them in at least one restaurant, Richter's Burger Co. At least they had some in there the last time I visited that park a few moths ago.
