Dondon,
It really won't make a major difference if someone is really wanting to quench their thirst. However, make sure your selection at least has the option of Pepsi along with other brands like Coke. I do think that if you have good locations that you'll will reap major rewards as you would with any good machine. If you can, depending on the location, ask them what type of soda's they want and stock them to their particular tastes.
Peace!

It does not matter about what the front of the machines says when it comes to people buying. Putz is right MD is one of the top selling beverages.
However, are these machines you have on loan from P&C? If so, they usually do not allow foreign products in their machines.

I have been in business since 1991 and the 2 machines I have always used where Pepsi and Coca Cola. They are made by Vendo and Dixie Narco. In every machine I would put a row of pepsi and a row of coke. This way you will have just about everyone willing to buy a soda. Also ever machine of mine carries Mountain Dew and when it comes to diet its diet coke hands down. As far as orange and root beer its got to be Sunkist for the orange and A&w for the root beer. Now this is what works for me, you need to find out if it would work for you. Hope this helps...............Nick
