Fountain Soda

Lotos · June 18, 2009, 04:10:01 PM

So, are we talking about these?

Because they're terribly watered down in my area :(

Pfft, there is only 1 kind of Coke...and that is Coka Cola The original. Anything that has the term "COLA" in the name is a rip off, IMO.

But I hate coke anyway!
*gets a sprite*

And we don't say, "Soda, or Pop" down here. :D

Look at the left, it is regular Cola, the name of the machine is BUZZ COLA
Anyway, Coke is just my backup drink, my fave is Dr. anything (there are hundreds of different names for Dr. Pepper) or Mr. Pibb.
For the wateriness, maybe they put ice in the soda thing to keep it cold and it melts over time, thus making it watery. Not sure if they do that, but it sounds like a reasonable reason.

Love fountain soda, but I actually haven't had a single sip of soda in about 2 weeks.

I'm getting caffeine relapse headaches as we speak, but I'm going to power through it. My goal is no soda for a month, and then very sparingly after that.

In the South, we call it soda... not sure what Star' talking about. D:
Pop sounds just retarded.

Fountain soda tastes generally good over here I guess ^_^

I like it. Also Coke in a Bottle (real sugar bish) > Coke Fountain Drink w/ice > Coke in a Can

I'm not in the "Red Neck South", but still in the South and we still call it soda. I've never heard anyone say "pop" or "cold drinks" here.

Pop: Northeners.

Soda: Everyone else.

Fountain soda tastes amazing.
I usually prefer it over canned and bottled.

It's called 'Cold Drinks' at delicatessants. But, everyone calls it soda here. I'm from New England and I've never once heard someone call soda 'pop' or anything else besides 'soda' and 'Cold Drink' (once again, only the label at restaurants). And I don't have a preference from where I get my soda. It all tastes the same from every source to me.

Bullpoop.

I'm from NY and we call it soda.

The syrup needs to be tweaked. The local mcdonalds has amazon coca cola, I go their JUST to buy sodas.

Pepsi from a fountain is awesome as well.

Silverhawk79 · June 18, 2009, 08:40:34 PM

Fountain soda is the best, because it's cheap.
49 cents at Quiktrip for a 32 oz.
I LOVE IT.
Also.
Dr Pepper + vanilla + cherry + Rooster Booster + more Dr Pepper = win

I love fountain soda......but water is much more thirst quenching so I always get that instead. I rarely drink soda anymore.
