Coca-Cola Co. is introducing what it's calling the beverage "fountain of the future."
It's called Freestyle and it uses an interactive touch-screen and micro-dosing technology to provide more than 100 beverages in the same space as a standard eight-valve fountain machine.
It allows for a range of flavors, such as Raspberry Coke, Strawberry Sprite, Peach Fanta and Cherry Coke Zero.
Coca-Cola is testing the machine in California and metro Atlanta.
Spokesman Ray Crockett says the company expects to install Freestyle machines in 25 metro Atlanta food-service outlets by the end of September.
There are already a few machines in some Subway, Firehouse Subs, Willy's, Wendy's, Popeyes and Burger King locations.
