fountain drinks

Soda machine pours

Fountain drinks are beverages dispensed from a machine that mixes flavored syrup with carbonated water on demand, as opposed to being poured from bottles or cans.

The term comes from soda fountains, the counters in drugstores and diners where such drinks were originally served.

Fast-food restaurants and convenience stores typically offer fountain drinks at lower cost than bottled equivalents, with free refills a common perk.

I'll just get a fountain drink with my combo.
