Don't recall ever seeing anything like that. The one's I've always seen had a pump that was pushed that squirted out the syrup, then one moved to the soda dispenser with a handle that was pulled forth and back which put in the soda water. After a squirt or two the mixture was stirred a bit and more water added. EV> I thought that I already seen everything about how a Fountain soft drink EV> was made until I walked in that Drug Store when I was 14 years old. DUH When I was in high school (in Colorado Springs, CO) my evening paper route was on the way home. Thursday and Friday were collection days and Friday evenings I stopped in at a drug store and at the fountain treated myself to a two scoop hot fudge sundae, nuts, whipped creme and a cherry on top, for 49 cents. Of course 49 cents isn't what it was 50+ years ago. (That would be equal to $3.76 today, https://westegg.com/inflation/) Joe* Origin: news://news.wpusa.dynip.com | acct req'd to post (1:3634/12) SEEN-BY: 116/116 123/25 141 150 755 135/300 153/7715 154/10 20 30 40 700 203/0 SEEN-BY: 221/0 1 6 360 227/201 400 261/38 320/219 340/800 633/267 280 640/384 SEEN-BY: 640/1384 712/620 848 770/1 3634/12 15 22 24 27 50 @PATH: 3634/12 154/10 221/6 0 640/1384 384 712/848 633/267 |
