Thank you so much for the promote!

Sorry I was mistaken - the ice-Coke machine was in Ximending (teens fashion area), but the museum was close to Taipei Train Station.

Here is a google map of where the ice-Coke machine was (not sure if it's still there).

That "old Taipei" museum was here. Unfortunately they are now closed.

Even though it's been three years since I was there (my GOD has it been that long?), I would be thrilled to see where this museum is located. My fiance and I spent one the best years of our lives living in JingMei. I took the LSAT at ShiDa Science. I miss TaiBei more than most grandmothers miss their grandkids.

In Taipei, there is a small underground museum that has old-style Taiwan (old buildings, pictures, cars, from the 1950s and before). There was even a 1950's style diner where they used the old manual machines to make shave-ice. The ice-coke machine was above ground nearby there. I have no idea if it's still there or not.

I can try to create a Google Map pushpin if you are interested.

Where in Taiwan?
In reply to this comment by spawnflagger:
I had this in Taiwan a few years ago (was only available at 1 machine, I guess was a test/demo unit). It doesn't taste exactly the same - somewhere between coke and coke zero. The ice doesn't last too long when it's >35C outside; the "fizz" (carbonation) seems to run out faster than regular bottled coke; and it costs more.

So yeah, a neat novelty item, but won't replace regular Pop/Soda vending machines.

See you on the top 15, Viktor.

Thank you very much!!! Top 15 *fingers crossed*

lol, no mistake, it was incredibly sarcastic. I just refuse to use the check box! It's Sarcasm for Dummies!

I haven't seen you making an ass of yourself, by the way.. Maybe I don't get around much, but I've never once thought you were an ass
In reply to this comment by RhesusMonk:
I don't think you're fragile. I've made an ass of myself recently (not that you would know, I suppose) by being overly aggressive/defensive I just wanted to make sure I wasn't being a dick as your initial response could very easily have been interpreted as sarcastic. \^\^

lol.... Why do people think I'm some fragile thing? I just don't like being called "dog shit." You didn't do anything to offend me! Snarky responses are an every day thing for me :

I get the joke. It's a stupid joke. Some of the in-joke videos have been hysterical. This one is not.


Sweet, glad you were able to downvote it without waffling like others. I'm really proud of you. I'm marking your day's work as Satisfactory.

Hey R, the clip is from this program Fry put on in November. The poem is in a couple of his collected poetry books.

I saw him give a public interview last night. Bloody great guy.

Please tell me where this is from. Please.

Congrats on the finishing of law school. How exciting for you! Wow,and you moved also. Is it beautiful and warm where you're living? I'm really happy to hear you're doing so well. I'll do a little celebratory dance for you
In reply to this comment by RhesusMonk:
It's 5:51am and rainy in South Florida. I just moved here on Monday from NYC. Ten minutes ago, I finished my last ever piece of work for law school. Friends are all asleep up north, and my girl's in bed asleep between bouts of puking with food poisoning; there's no one around for me celebrate with. So, I'm figuratively celebrating with you, Eric. Cheers!

If the guy's got expertise in that department, then fair play to him..... I just posted the video 'cos I liked the video.

Once again HUGE thanks for the promote

Welcome. I just love that voice. I stepped in it when I tried to set max straight, tho. What a troll!

I hate to call you out, but the unlikeliness of this guy's voice is what makes this so incredibly *promote-able.
