Random soda machines?

Question 62771. I asked it and was intrigued by the idea of a soda machine with a "Do you feel lucky" button. I've never seen anything like that, have never headed for a soda machine without knowing what I wanted (or having a pretty good idea...I've probably changed my mind on the spot before as I stood at the machine), and often I can't say I'd be equally happy with every option available. Is that button used a lot? As someone who doesn't want to be surprised as far as getting a soda is concerned, am I in the minority?

That particular Shasta machine has been the source of many late night quote wall conversations.
And to answer your question, a lot of times when I want a soda i can't decide. I'm not very picky, so I don't mind the button, and if it is present, it saves me some time.

Not being a Mountain Dew/Rush fan, I would not use the button again for personal beverage selection.

Someone in our neighborhood has a soda machine on their driveway, and I spent many a dollar there in my past. They had a "lucky" button which I would frequently choose, sometimes three or four times in one trip (I usually returned home with half a dozen sodas). However, they knew their customer base, and the "lucky" button assured us that none of the sodas behind it were caffeinated.

I don't think I've ever seen a button like that. How can I find one?

You are in Provo, right? The Macey's grocery store across from DI on state street has a shasta machine with a lucky button.
