HISTORY
The first American soda fountains weren’t all that different from the ones we think of today. The original was patented in 1819. As soda fountains continued to evolve, they worked their way into everything from barbershops to restaurants. In many ways they became an iconic part of American culture and social behaviors. This trend is most apparent in 1950s American youth culture.
