I cracked my smartphone screen and it looks badass. I don't even want to fix it.

I dropped mine on the garage floor, shocked it was still intact. Maybe if I was a couple of inches taller....

Re: Random musings
Those Coke touch screen fountains are pretty much the worst thing ever invented. Standing behind the average person while they try to navigate that is like getting kicked in the nuts repeatedly. Plus everything that comes out of there has a weird chemical taste to it. The whole process is a pain in the ass, all so one out of a thousand people can have their Mango Raspberry Diet Coke or whatever. Maybe I should have the option of Mango Raspberry Purell after having to touch the same disgusting screen as everyone else.

Re: Random musings
They're fancy fountain dispensers that a lot of food places are switching to. You have like 40 different choices, plus 10 different flavors to add to each one. So if you want a regular Coke you have to push like four buttons just to get to it and confirm you want regular Coke not Lime Habanero Coke. I've seen them service the machines and everything is in cartridges like a copy machine. Nothing tastes right coming out of there.

Re: Random musings
Wanna know a little secret about those machines? A not-incidental purpose of them is to gather consumer data. Coke is tracking the preferences and combinations that the customers select. Much the same way that Facebook targets you with japanese sock fetish porn based on your search history.
