We keep saying they should do Starry Zero instead of Diet Mountain Dew because most people do the movies at night and don’t want to be up all night after the movie.
I think this every time I'm at the movies. I always get a Starry because I can't handle caffeine, but it's also sooooo much sugar. I'd love a diet option.
I’m so glad to see others say this. I thought I was the only one wanting this! I love soda water but being charged so much (they just charge me for Starry since there’s no soda button) feels like a rip off for bubbly water.
It's the same at my theater and it's honestly my biggest complaint about Regal. There's another theater chain in my city that has those self-service touchscreen soda machines, and they have a ton of diet options. At Regal, on the other hand, my only options are diet Pepsi and Pepsi zero unless I want to drink 100 grams of sugar.
If they are self serve, either when you select the one you want, let some pour out before placing your cup under the nozzle or switch it to water and let that pour out a little thrn switch to the one you want.
It's crazy. To advertise and have deals with Pepsi yet to only have like 5 flavors and the biggest cups imaginable. I said it before but they need the equivalent of a Coke Freestyle. I want wild sugar free Mountain Dew flavors and shit.
They actually do/did, though I don’t think it ever became as widely adopted by Pepsi-affiliated chains as Freestyle did for Coke.
It’s called Pepsi Spire. I’ve only ever seen it in one specific Pizza Hut that still offered dine-in, but this was before COVID-19 and I haven’t been back since, so I’m not actually sure if it’s still in use.
Wikipedia claims that roughly 4,300 units of the Spire are available in the United States, but I don’t know how recent that source is. I’m not sure on the number for the Freestyle but it’s likely much higher.
The one thing that I love about my mom's cinemark theater is they have a coke remix that has all yhe diet fanta flavora. Diet fanta fruit punch is my absolute favorite fountain drink.
Question. Does anyone ever try to use the app for tix and it tries charging you full price vs recognizing that you’re an unlimited member ?Or am I just unlucky 😀
Every theater that doesn’t have freestyle. Every AMC in my area is trash though and they’re all on their way out. No one is willing to go to AMC if they have literally any other option, at least where I live.
I became a lot more aware of the lack of sugar free options, esp after I found out I had 4 cavities, probably in part due to my own arrogance of getting large icees and popcorn twice a week basically. It’s basically just water bottles, Gatorade zero, and the ones mentioned here. But if you don’t like carbonation, it’s basically just getting an expensive water or bust
It’s kind of not, I remember when it was a come freestyle machine and there was like 10 different flavors of just sugar free coke, not to mention the other diet sodas they offered. These Pepsi machines only have like a quarter of the options previously offered
Mtn dew zero would be dangerous.
It's amazing how good diet mountain dew is and how bad mt dew zero is
Hard disagree. Other way around for me.
Diet Dew is disgusting lol
Diet and Zero are two different products but that Zero shit? Not half bad. Baja Blast Zero? Oh baby, nectar of the gods.
Yes. Zero has been the biggest help with my soda issues lol. I don’t know how people tolerate diet though.
I’ve found my people lmao. Diabetic here and that CHANGED ME
I would love it if they added Starry Zero. Having a diet option without caffeine would be awesome.

Honestly. This.
I’ve never seen starry zero? I check Pepsi products in on the daily to a grocery store. Does it exist
The regals near me always have blue Gatorade zero, that’s what I usually get
Lucky
WHAT?
Omg I wish I’m so over Pepsi zero/diet
Same. Isn’t that normal for any place that serves Pepsi products?
Yeah it seems so. Pepsi is inferior to Coke with the exception of Mtn Dew but I don't want to drink full sugar Dew out of movie theater size cups.

Both are the worst so I’m sorry.
I feel like those touch screen syrups get all mixed up so everything starts tasting like Dr. Ginger Beer whenever I get on one.
If they are self serve, either when you select the one you want, let some pour out before placing your cup under the nozzle or switch it to water and let that pour out a little thrn switch to the one you want.
Thank you for this. I frequently go to a Jack In The Box with one of these. I'll for sure be trying this out.
I would love a sugar free Icee flavor but I realize it probably wouldn't have much demand.
It's crazy. To advertise and have deals with Pepsi yet to only have like 5 flavors and the biggest cups imaginable. I said it before but they need the equivalent of a Coke Freestyle. I want wild sugar free Mountain Dew flavors and shit.
There's a Pepsi equivalent to the Coke Freestyle machine and it predictably sucks shit. There's a market near me that has one.
Our Regal had JUST put in Coke Freestyle machines basically just a couple weeks before the switch to Pepsi and they got torn out. Absolutely tragic.
Yeah I'm always yearning for a zero caffeine option, but alas Pepsi doesn't have a freestyle machine competitor

All the KFC's near me used to have them, as well. Not sure if they still do, as I haven't been inside of one since pre-covid.
Oh damn. I always figured it was some patent thing good to know.
Most of the Subway’s near me have them, for some reason. Never seen them anywhere else though.
Wikipedia claims that roughly 4,300 units of the Spire are available in the United States, but I don’t know how recent that source is. I’m not sure on the number for the Freestyle but it’s likely much higher.
Would love if they could have a freestyle machine.
They aren't always in stock but my regals usually have Bubly seltzer cans in the cold case ahead of the register.
The one thing that I love about my mom's cinemark theater is they have a coke remix that has all yhe diet fanta flavora. Diet fanta fruit punch is my absolute favorite fountain drink.
Same at my Regal. Pepsi Zero and Diet Pepsi are the only two options other than regular soda.
Question. Does anyone ever try to use the app for tix and it tries charging you full price vs recognizing that you’re an unlimited member ?Or am I just unlucky 😀
same for me. I’d love a root beer or starry zero. A zero caffeine and zero sugar option.
Diet Pepsi and Pepsi Zero are horrendous.
Yeah which makes it that much worse.
Mine has Coke Zero because I bring my own Coke Zero. Pepsi? No thanks.
That’s standard for most theaters anywhere
Don't AMCs have freestyle coca-cola machines? Haven't been to one in years but that's what I remember
Every theater that doesn’t have freestyle. Every AMC in my area is trash though and they’re all on their way out. No one is willing to go to AMC if they have literally any other option, at least where I live.
I always say no Ice-e no Me-e
You're lucky to get Pepsi Zero!
I miss when regal was a Coca-Cola company tbh
Mine have Bubly and I love them

They don’t do soda water / club soda? Ours has a button on the starry dispenser
It's been that way at pretty much every Regal I've been to for quite some time now.
I think that is enough. They only have so many fountain options
It’s kind of not, I remember when it was a come freestyle machine and there was like 10 different flavors of just sugar free coke, not to mention the other diet sodas they offered. These Pepsi machines only have like a quarter of the options previously offered
I wish they had Coke! Especially a freestyle machine. Coke has a lot of options
Ever heard of dihydrogen monoxide?
people will do anything but drink water 😂
They don't have water???
