Here at Consumerist, we enjoy the Coke Freestyle soda machine, because if we’re going to drink one or two soft drinks per month, by gosh at least one of them should be strawberry-peach Sprite. Yet we never wondered what’s inside the machine, other than magic. Until now.

A Reddit user happened to spot one of the machines with its cabinet door open, and snapped a picture of its innards. The inside looks a lot like a traditional soda fountain, but also resembles the inside of an inkjet printer for some reason. It’s a flavorjet printer.
