EV>> that made their Fountain Coca-Cola Soft Drink with Syrup that was in a
EV>> large glass bottle with a plastic dispenser attached to it.
EV>> The bottle was inverted with the dispenser on the bottom so the person
EV>> making the softdrink just pressed a big button to put some syrup in a
EV>> paper cup. They filled the cup with soda water (CO2 Fizz Water) and
EV>> gave it to the customer. I can't remember if the dispenser button was
EV>> pressed once or twice to make the soda.
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
NB>> They were just more obvious about how it was done.... :)
EV> The Pharmacist was an older Man, it may be that He purchased the Soda
EV> Syrup Dispenser at His Drugs Store long before the Soda Fountain
EV> Dispensers with Chrome Levers were manufactured. ???
Quite possible... :)
EV> BTW, the Dispenser attached to the Coca-Cola Bottle was made of
EV> Plastic and had a Big Red Button, it probably was made by Coca-Cola
EV> Corp.
That also sounds quite possible... :)
EV> Coca-Cola has a Museum in Elizabethtown, Kentucky about 40 Miles from
EV> where I live.
EV> They probably are on the internet (everybody else is) and they
EV> probably have a photo of the Dispenser that I am talking about.
I don't do much internet of that sort... but they might have a photo of
various early dispensers and such... it is the sort of thing one would
expect a museum to have... ;)
