Blind Coke Drinker

This was a funny observation today. I was at HyVee with some friends. I walked up to the soda dispensing station while another friend was standing there. Now, the soda station is quite extensive, having more filling stations than the BP gas station. My friend noticed above the Cherry Coke and Diet Coke, were small strips written in Braille. Apparently those are the only two flavors of pop blind people are allowed to drink, or care to drink. Which brings me to the drive up atm. The key pad is available in Braille also. I think it's rather humorous and a bit scary at the same time, knowing a blind person could pull their car into the atm, get cash, and drive off. I think I might introduce a form of entertainment to the blind populace. I think a Braille dart board would be entertaining on a couple of different levels;)
