Soda Machines for Geeks?

PhaseBurn writes "In all my findings, I've yet to see things like Bawls or Jolt in a soda machine. Even bottled water is hard to come by... Working in a call center for an ISP, we don't have to worry too much about what's popular with the rest of the world, and so, I'm tasked with finding a vending machine replete for geeks. While Jolt can come out of any normal soda machine that supports plastic bottles, the glass Bawls bottles woultn't fare so well. Do they make a soda machine that would work for this? What's around your office... And what's popular among the geeks today, as I want it to appeal to the vast majority of our staff?" Why use a vending machine when a community cooler would work just as well. With that aside, what kind of beverages would you like to see more of in vending machines?

    Just pick up a few cases of this stuff (I usually saw it for $0.70 or so a bottle at the local Oriental Mart) and the caffine problems of your staff are solved.

    This stuff was vital for my schedule of sleeping for 6 hours every other night when I was in grad school.
    I still have a dozen or so bottles lying around that I give to people who think they can handle caffine.
    So far they have all bowed down to the fury of the real red bull.

    Word up. Such a beautiful way of expressing what I rant to my poor friends who are sick of hearing it from me.
