Soda fountains could be found practically everywhere, from parks to community centers. They sold either plain soda or soda with syrup. The syrup was usually pear or orange. Soda was poured into an ordinary glass, which came together with the machine, so once a customer had their drink, they were expected to place the glass upside down into the washing fountain next to the dispenser to have it cleaned before the next customer.
