    Abstract: A system that tracks and communicates product nutrition information for a beverage dispenser, such as a self-service soda dispenser, the system configured to display nutritional information to a user based on a dispensed quantity of soda or other selected beverage. The system includes a flow rate sensor in communication with a syrup container to measure an amount of dispensed syrup used to create the beverage. A controller or processor in communication with the sensor receives information from the sensor relating to the measured quantity of syrup and calculates nutritional information, such as calories, sugar, sodium, carbohydrates, and caffeine contained in the dispensed beverage. The nutritional information is communicated to a display for presentation to the user. In some embodiments, the display may also present alternate available drinks that may be healthier (e.g., lower in calories) for comparison purposes.
