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

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 25 points 3 months ago

Upgrade if you’re going for a Canada Dry.

[-] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 55 points 3 months ago

Hey now, calm down there buddy. I know you're not shit talking ginger ale

[-] MediumGray@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago

I mean Fever Tree is obviously better but also costs three times as much.

[-] 666dollarfootlong@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

And what kind of vending machine even has it? Does it even come in cans??

[-] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

It does. Small cans though.

[-] LemmySchpemmy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] prole 1 points 3 months ago

I've only had their tonic water (with gin, very good). Didn't know they made ginger ale...

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

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

gettem!

[-] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

Can't say I've ever had it. Who carries it? I'll give it a try

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

It's even available in Estonia so it must be very widespread.

[-] toynbee@piefed.social 5 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] Themosthighstrange@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Im a pepper man but I do like my sprite

[-] LemmySchpemmy@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

This is what I wanna know

[-] Gork@sopuli.xyz 27 points 3 months ago

Coca-Cola^®^ and Pepsi^®^ products in the same vending machine? What sort of corporate heresy is this?

[-] W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 3 months ago

A privately run one

[-] libre_warrior@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 months ago

sprite is boycott. Try lemon soda instead.

[-] scbasteve@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago
[-] libre_warrior@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 months ago

Because they are part of Coca Cola Company which has activity in occupied Palestine.

[-] Earthman_Jim@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

Doesn't activity in occupied Palestine mean they provide jobs for Palestinians? I'm confused...

[-] libre_warrior@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago

Occupied Palestine = territory Israel has sieged

[-] Earthman_Jim@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 months ago

Oh okay, so it's Israeli jobs in stolen Palestinian territory?

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

Yes. They wouldn't give Palestinians jobs, that would get them bombed by the IDF.

[-] bottleofchips 9 points 3 months ago

Mmm a nice cold can of Dritc

[-] dandelion 8 points 3 months ago
[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

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?

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I think basically one is pretty much... just ginger ale flavor, and the other has more citrus flavoring as well.

Or, there are just two different buttons/labels for Canada Dry, from different... marketing epochs.

I think the Canada Dry that I'm thinking of, thats just ginger ale, is like a bronze colored can, and the '+citrus' one is green ... ?

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] prole 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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)

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I won't stand here for this Vernors heresy

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

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).

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Name the time, name the place. Are we doing a dance off or a kiss off because I am very bad at both

[-] spiffpitt@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

first one says caffeine free

[-] Syndication@lemmy.today 5 points 3 months ago

Wow, that coke can design is the one from 1997

[-] damnthefilibuster@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Bet OP just got Sprite from home. “Oh, I didn’t get the sprite from the machine. Why would you assume that?”

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 4 points 3 months ago

The machine spirits have blessed you.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

The machine would not make a mistake!

[-] kinther@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] gegil@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

How do this machines work? I have never seen a single one in my country.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 6 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] Themosthighstrange@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Paper or coin money go in , u press the button of the soda u want and it drop out in the front of the machine to reach in and get cold
