[Electronics-talk] getting your drinks at fastfood places

[Brent Harding]

I thought the Coke ones are connected to the net, so maybe they could do it. 
Another one I see being a problem is the new vending machines that take 
cards, Apple Pay, etc. Aren't those soda machines a touch screen as well, or 
do they have buttons?
