[Electronics-talk] getting your drinks at fastfood places

Sun Jun 28 20:10:57 UTC 2015

Five Guys is not a regional chain. It has over 1000 locations in the US. 
It's also in Canada and the UK. It was the fastest growing fast food 
chain in the US in 2010. You can use there location locater on the web 
to find the nearest restaurant, if you're interested.

I've also seen these drink machines at Wendy's, Burger King, Schlotzskys 
(South and Southwest), , Jack in the Box (West), Fuddruckers (National 
but not many locations) and I'm sure others as well.
