ATLANTA — One machine can't fix all that's wrong with the soft drink industry. But Coca-Cola's Freestyle machine — which can dispense 146 different flavors — is giving Coke the one thing it needs most of all: buzz.

Freestyle is not a beverage formula, but a formula for survival in the $76 billion soft-drink industry awash in competition and growing consumer rejection.

Those machines are old news around here - they're quite common in the fast-food restaurants.

The local Burger King locations have had these soda machines for probably 2 years now. Strangely enough none of the other fast food chains seem to have them except for one of the nearby Five Guys locations.
