What is the soda

fountain?

Page 4: The soda fountain

A soda fountain is a device that dispenses carbonated drinks

Page 5: The soda fountain

Before mechanical refrigeration, soda fountains used ice to cool drinks and ice cream

Page 6: The soda fountain

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

Page 7: The soda fountain

The soda fountain was patented for its ability to sell the newly-invented mass-produced mineral

water by the glass

Page 8: The soda fountain

• 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

1807 – The first British patent for carbonated water was given to Henry Thompson

How does the soda fountain work?

Page 12: The soda fountain

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?

Page 18: The soda fountain

…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”???

Page 20: The soda fountain

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
