The Soda Fountain Website

“Moppin’ up soda pop rickies,

To our heart delight,

Dancing to a swingeroo quickie,

JukeBox Saturday Night…”

So sang Glenn Miller’s Orchestra in the early 1940’s, about an American institution that has gone by the wayside. The neighborhood soda fountain, where soft drinks were made, not processed, and ice cream was scooped, not pumped, were a social gathering place that several generations of our relatives spend their childhood.

But fear not. You can return to those days of yesteryear, even though it is only through cyberspace. The Famsite today, The Soda Fountain Website looks into the history of the soda fountain in a very tasteful and interesting way. Here you can find out about the history of the fountain, some of the recipes that were served (and now you can make yourself), ice cream flavors that were popular, as well as pictures of some of the more unique ones. If you look real hard, you may even find where some are located and are still in operation. This is a most interesting site, one that a visit is a worth while experience. Have fun.
