What is the soda
fountain?
A soda fountain is a device that dispenses carbonated drinks
Before mechanical refrigeration, soda fountains used ice to cool drinks and ice cream
Why did Samuel do it?
To quench the social demand for carbonated soft drinks
It was early 19th century when Samuel Fahnestock patented the soda fountain. It was
a reaction to consumer desires, new technologies, and fresh ideas about supply
and demand
The soda fountain was patented for its ability to sell the newly-invented mass-produced mineral
water by the glass
• In the early/mid 19th century, carbonated water just started to
make big in London with Jacob Schweppes' invention of a mass-
produced method for carbonating water
• This was a start for many
different brands of soda to be offered for the soda fountain
Soda Fountains around the world
Soda Fountains from…
China
Texas
Russia
1807 – The first British patent for carbonated water was given to Henry Thompson
Although commonly called “soda water” this drink contained no soda at all.
How does the soda fountain work?
This device combines
flavored syrup (commonly
dispensed from a bag-in-box,
we’ll talk about that later),
carbon dioxide, and water to
make soft drinks

Bag-In-Box system
• William R. Scholle, in 1955, invented the first commercial bag-in-box system.
• Safe transportation and dispensing of battery acid were two of many things that made the bag-in-box system a great thing. So great it’s still used today.
Why did people continue to build
upon the soda fountain making it better and better?
…because
• Soda fountains, either in a diner, candy store, or on often traveled streets, brought neighbors together to socialize and exchange community news.
• In the early 20th century, many fountains expanded their menus and became lunch counters, serving light meals as well as ice cream soda.
If that was the case when
why
did they go “out-of-style”???
North Americanretail stores changed
from foutains to self-service vending
machines selling
pre-packaged soft drinks in cans, the
soda fountain didn't fit into the
new sales scheme. Today only a few of
vintage soda fountains are still in
service.
Soft drinks in cans dispensed from vending machines
And in 1965 The resealable top was invented
