Sadly, the old Dr. Pepper machine bit the dust around Spring 2010. It decided to freeze sodas more often than we liked, so we replaced it with a Coke machine in Fall 2010. It was a pain in the ass to get into Siebel, but it provided a nice capacity upgrade, and we no longer needed to do any tricks when loading to prevent the first few cans from exploding. The story I heard was that the original machine was meant for steel cans, so aluminum ones could explode when being loaded if not loaded gently.
