As a Purdue University alum, one of the memories I have from college is going to a convenient store on campus called The Discount Den and getting a 32 oz. drink famously known as “The Den Pop”. Besides only costing 50 cents, one of the appeals to the Den Pop were the self-service machines and being able to mix whatever flavors you want. My drink of choice: half Diet Coke, half Cherry Coke with a splash of Barq’s Red Cream Soda. Every once in a while I still crave those flavored drinks, but would definitely feel strange ordering such mixtures at a restaurant. You can imagine my delight when Coca-Cola created their freestyle soda machines.
AMC Theatres has partnered with Coca-Cola and now has their freestyle machines in select locations. Last weekend Kevin and I went to see Gone Girl at the AMC Theatre 600 North Michigan 9 in downtown Chicago. After getting our tickets, and being able to pick our own seats I might add, our first stop was to the concession stand! We each ordered drinks and had so much fun mixing our own flavors at the Coca-Cola Freestyle machine. As you can see there are several different base drink choices to choose from. Once you pick your soda choice, the screen will then give you the different flavor options. Thanks Grape Sprite, Vanilla Coke, Cherry Lemonade. The possibilities are endless!
In an attempt to recreate my beloved Den Pop, I first chose Mr. Pibb with Cherry flavor.
To top that off, I added some Coke with Vanilla flavoring.
The end result was a delicious drink very reminiscent to those of my college years!
The Coca-Cola Freestyle machine is such a great addition to AMC Theatres and helps make the movie going experience that much more enjoyable! Not to mention their new leather reclining seats!
The holiday season is the perfect time to go to the movies with your loved ones! You can enjoy your own custom Coca-Cola Freestyle drink at an AMC Theatre near you.
