Quickly!<\/p>\n

Dave’s 2 week checkup was yesterday.  He’s doing MUCH better now and both his neurosurgeon and primary care doctor (the military doctor who he sees more often) are both impressed with how well he’s doing!  We’re thrilled with the upward turn in his recovery compared to last weekend.  And Dave’s attitude is so great right now!<\/p>\n

Today, after Dave’s primary care appointment, we headed over to our local Moe’s<\/a> for lunch.  I hadn’t been to the Fort Walton Beach Moe’s in a couple months, so we were intrigued by this new machine there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Just so you know, I was NOT the only one taking pictures of this thing \ud83d\ude42  Dave was in uniform for his medical appointment on base.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

This is called the Coca-Cola Freestyle<\/a> machine, and it’s some sort of computerized machine that will give you over 100 combinations of Coke products!<\/p>\n

Want Coke?  Diet Coke?  Coke Zero?  Sprite?  Diet Sprite?  Fanta?  Fanta Zero?  You can have all that!  AND you can add flavors on the spot…Dave and I were intrigued!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
This is a touch screen.  Choose first the baseline Coke product you want.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Then that product will appear with several flavor choices: cherry, orange, grape, raspberry, lemon, lime…<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
And somehow it pulls it all together and dispenses it.  This was “grape Fanta Zero” and it was rather, um, BLUE.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
