    The only reason why I like them is because I can cherry all the things. Cherry Coke, Cherry Sprite, Cherry root beer… You get the idea.

    (I also like that cherry lime drink that several restaurants advertise under different names as their “exclusive” beverage. On the top of my head I know that Jack in the Box and Firehouse Subs both have it, with their own branding slapped on the name.)

      Cherry Rootbeer tastes a lot like Dr Pepper to me… When we would run out at the store I worked at out of high school I’d just get Barq’s and add a bit of cherry flavor from our defunct Icee ripoff machine.

      That’s the reason I originally thought they were cool, however, in practice, they almost never allowed you to mix anything with anything, and it was purely a limit placed in the software. I couldn’t cherry anything but coke and dr pepper on any of them I ever used. I couldn’t add lemon to anything but the already raspberry flavored Fuze tea. I couldn’t add vanilla to the root beer or have grape flavored sprite. Shit pisses me off, because it wasn’t that they didn’t have a certain flavor, the interface just didn’t show the flavors available for every possible soda on the machine. Especially when I would see people elsewhere with them setup in the way you really want, where you could cherry everything. 😬
