There are three of us making bagel pizzas for football snacks, and each of us wants a different soda. Instead of getting three different one-liter bottles, we buy one dial-a-flavor bottle. It's a three liter bottle with three sections (like those three-flavor popcorn cans you sometimes see). The top
is a dial - turn it to your favorite flavor and enjoy. Or leave it half-way between two flavors for that kiddie mix. Or take the top off and go suicide. Everyone is happy.
Here's an example of a three-flavor popcorn tin

[Beep] - the soda flavors are sectioned like this, shielded from each other by plastic walls - the lid dials open to one (or two!) at a time. [globaltourniquet, Aug 07 2007]
Inexhaustible Bottle

A classic magic trick. The bottle was not only inexhaustible, but also produced whatever flavor of liquor the audience asked for. [jutta, Aug 07 2007]

Love these things. I imported mine to the US from the UK. Use slushee syrups if you can't find the real thing. [gtoal, Aug 08 2007]

I understand, you need a picture. But I can't draw. |
|

There are three chambers in the bottle, walls between them extending all the way up to the top (see link for popcorn tin example). The lid is a dial mechanism, like a spice jar that allows you to select shake or pour. |
|
| |
The wall/divider is going to be expensive to make, especially if you expect it to hold up when one chamber is open and the others are pressurized. |
|
| |
You and your buds are going to have to hunt all over the geenormous soda section to find the bottle that has the combo you want: "Slurm, Squishy and Spam? No! Slurm, Spam and Slug! Not Spam, Slurm and Suck? No! Spam, Slug and Slurm? What?" |
|
| |
// Not Spam, Slurm and Suck?
Man, now you're getting me all worked up. |
|
| |
A variation of this is doable - not with separators and tanks, but with a flavor-adding component on the way out, like those flavor-adding milk straws that exist - and would have some novelty value. My gottaexistatron is ringing, but I can't find an implementation. |
|
| |
The act of opening would need to depressurize all chambers, it's true. |
|
| |
[jutta], my thoughts exactly. this whole concept is semi-baked in pop machine fountains at fast-food joints, etc. syrup from one bladder bag is released when that flavor is requested. but it's the same soda water running through everyone's veins. |
|
| |
Again, there's always the double-sided bottle idea, where there's a cap on each end. Maximum of two flavors per bottle, though. |
|
| |
[phundug] No need to limit yourself to two flavors. Imagine a number of bottles with all the bases glued together and the caps radiating out like a star. Sort of a nerd ninja star. |
|
| |
The use of one opening for multiple flavours adds nothing, hence there is no difference between this and two or more items of any beverage. See link. |

I am going to protest the notion that that goofy 70s auto-soder has any relationship whatsoever with my idea, save that it has something to do with soda. |
|
| |
As for two or more separate bottles, well, OK ,yeah, that's kind of like this - but I offer this option to prevent the need for buying three separate one-liter bottles, which will cost twice as much as one three-liter bottle. |
|
| |
Plus it's cool, like when you go to the Taco Bell drive-thru around here, and you are pleasantly surprised to see that it's ALSO a KFC and a Pizza Hut! |

I've seen this idea on the internet a couple
of months back. Smart idea, but they had
6 flavors to inject. Smart idea, not soda i
mean. Soda is a dumb idea. |
