Many innovations have made their way through the Everyday Edisons studio doors. But, one might argue that there’s never been one causing quite a buzz, as the latest addition to our staff break room, the Coca-Cola Freestyle® machine from our Everyday Edisons Season 4 Technology Partners, Coca-Cola!
If you thought this was a place where innovation flowed and tough decisions took place before, just imagine the environment with 100+ brands to choose from and endless drink recipes to create! 
And while this machine is every soda or flavored water-lover’s dream, perhaps, most intriguing is the story behind its invention. Here are just a few cool facts:
- It is the first fountain soda machine daring to go beyond the average limit of 6-8 consumer choices
- The machine took 204 world-class experts from across the country and 4 years to develop
- It was designed by Italian design firm, Pininfarina – Yep, it’s practically a Ferrari!
- It won a Gold Award (the highest honor) at the 2011 Edison Awards in the “New Retail Frontiers” category
Be sure to tune in to Everyday Edisons Season 4, where you may just get a glimpse of this machine in action, and special thanks to Coca-Cola for their belief in innovation and partnership!
Dry cereal, crackers and cookies. They can be kids’ best friend or a parent’s worst nightmare! Spilled and crushed into the carpet, couch or car, these tasty snacks keep parents on constant clean-up patrol. Now, snack spills are a thing of the past with the Löopa™ Gyro Bowl: the spill-resistant bowl that keeps tots’ food off the floor, out of the couch cushions and off the seats of your car. This innovative children’s bowl rotates, swivels and dips in every direction, making it difficult for dry food contents to fall out. Its reactive gravity-defying technology utilizes a weighted inner bowl which rotates 360 degrees to catch the bowl’s contents as they slosh from side to side, keeping food inside and the floor snack-free. Bright colors, swiveling bowls and an intergalactic design make it more than just a bowl – it’s also a cool new toy keeping kids entertained. So, while imagination takes your kids to outer space and beyond, Löopa makes life easier for you back on earth.
