Originally, the so-called soda fountain was the organ that distributed carbonated soft drinks and carbonated water, but over time it was used as a generic term for ice cream shop and lunch, which we know as soda fountains. It began to appear in drug shops and dime stores in the mid-19th century.

Benjamin Silliman, a professor of chemistry at Yale University, supplied carbonated soda water to America early in 1806 at New Haven, CT headquarters at Yale University. It has rapidly acquired and began expanding with three expansion partners in New York City and Baltimore. By the middle of the 19th century, they knew they had a winner, especially with the addition of snacks, where anyone could get a quick sandwich with a frozen delight. The idea of ​​drug stores was very creative: cola was siphoned off with soda water and originally sold as a digestive system. Soda fountains can be decorated with marble counters and Tiffany or ordinary lamps, usually with a reflective back wall and a soda dispenser that is popular for the goose neck. The servers, known as soda soda, make those black-filled faucets up to the glasses and create wonderful champagne drinks that knock the nose Tastes and taste buds. The establishment of a popular meeting place for all ages, embraced by the small town and large cities, customers often stood in line to get a seat during working hours, and happily thought about their requests. On hot summer evenings, fresh lemon juice is cooled by thirsty shepherds or better, the banana can be divided with the best friend or sister.

Most of the soda fountains are stocked with chocolate, vanilla and strawberry ice cream (some even featured New York cherry, pecan butter and tute fruity) along with a chocolate syrup, strawberry and marshmallow. In addition, she added the nuts and cherries of the Marashino to the glamor of those glorious pieces. Voodoo ice creams were made to work on Sundays when religions forbid the sale of soda water, which prohibits the provision of famous ice cream soda. (Obviously ice cream and drink were not mistaken but soda water was - go to figure).

Unfortunately, in the 1950s, drug shops moved in the direction of self-service, completely eliminating lunch counters and ice cream, and fast food began replacing the lunch table with hamburgers and shakes that were very similar to their predecessors. Outside with the old, in the new with more space and more needed for hundreds of shelves display bottled and packed products, replacing the soda jams and egg salad salad less income-generating.

Today, there are still ice cream shops and antique fountains scattered all over the country, nostalgia continues, and in small towns, the root beer is still happily served by buoys and soft ice cream, but it is not. Sure, you can go to Dairy Queen or Baskin-Robbins and get a sundae or even a banana section, but there's something missing. Are these hats, or are they just a piece of history?
