bigbrother Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Selling cold berages via cups is so much more efficient in cups vs in cans. So why does the market for cups is so much smaller ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryChris Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I'm a little confused.. if you are comparing fountain drinks to canned drinks, those are two different animals. Fountain drinks should be consumed the same day that they are dispensed. Canned soda (non diet) lasts for 10 months if unopened. When you consider this, you can ONLY consume a fountain drink that was dispensed from a fountain machine, and you had to have gotten that drink within the same day. So... you need to be somewhat near a fountain machine. In contrast, you can consume a canned drink any place, any time, anywhere you want as long as you have one near you (which could be sitting right next to you, in the fridge, or in a vending machine). Cans are far more convenient for people at work/home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZVendor Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 If you're asking about cup soda vending machines, they fell out of favor with vendors several years ago. It's too bad, really, as they had the best profit margin of any vending product aside from coffee machines. I ran several cup soda machines and loved them. The drawbacks were keeping them clean (no worse than a coffee machine), limited flavors and maintenance of the ice makers. I think the real demise was brought on by the popularity of can soda, and later, bottle soda popularity. I think Crane still will build them on request. The new ones did away with the poured-in postmix syrup tanks and now use the BIB (bag-in-box) syrups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris in bc Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Are you referring to the Crane National 327, 328 Cold drink centre...this machine vends cold drinks into a cup as opposed to vending out a 12oz can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
