Fountain pop machines - mojo_mattv - 08-22-2009

Girlfriend wants a fountain pop machine. I'm looking for good christmas presents. Any ideas on where to find them with a reasonable cost (eg. not $6000).

A FOUNTAIN machine needs a large unit seperat;y tp run it. you need a multiplex the will chill and filter water and then inject c02 (that you have to buy and store in tanks) this then pumps to your fountain separately you need to buy syru for each soda you want and pump that to the fountain and then they mix together as they pour... its not worth it man.. get a bottle dispenser. that would be cool...

Ya I realize all of that, but it's not a matter of convenience or novelty but more a matter of her prefering the taste of fountain pop. Thanks for the help though.

That's crazy, fountain pop sucks-ass. Can or bottle all the way. I'm pretty sure I've seen home fountain soft drink machines for sale somewhere before though, in some sort of catalogue.

Man, those were the days.

I can't remember the last time I had a soft drink out of a glass bottle.

Have a Stewart's, they're amazing. They all come in glass bottles, and their flavours are delicious, Orange Cream Soda, and Key Lime are my favourites, but their Root Beer, Black Cherry, and Cream Soda (it's a golden sorta colour) are all really good too, they might have Grape as well.

then the best place to look would be at auctions where banks have re poed a reasarunts assets/// just look around you will find them

I've had people overhear me talking about my Coca-Cola addiction. I called it Coke.
It was misinterpreted. General hilarity insued when one of my supervisors took me aside to see if I would open up about my "Coke" habits that don't exist.

are two of the larger manufactures, I would look for one of their re-man sites. Or you could try one of the bottlers (Pepsi or Coke) as they would know where they would do re-mans

Since, I believe you are in Canada, you could try calling http://www.qbd.com/ service as they may know who they send their equipment for re-man or service

Where I used to work used to see Jones Soda.
Delicious and refreshing!
