Fuentes de soda en Chile |

soda fountain / snack bar Explanation: I'm not entirely sure whether this applies to Chile, but it's quite a common expression that can be found in the dictionary. I imagine it's a calque of the US term. fuente de soda soda fountain, n. NOMBRE FEMENINO 1 soda fountain EEUU snack bar https://es.oxforddictionaries.com/traducir/espanol-ingles/fu... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 mins (2017-07-13 16:59:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A soda fountain is a device that dispenses carbonated soft drinks, called fountain drinks. They can be found in restaurants, concession stands and other locations such as convenience stores. The device combines flavored syrup or syrup concentrate and carbon dioxide with chilled and purified water to make soft drinks, either manually, or in a vending machine which is essentially an automated soda fountain that is operated using a soda gun. Today, the syrup often is pumped from a special container called a bag-in-box (BIB). A soda fountain is also referred to as a postmix machine in some markets. Any brand of soft drink that is available as postmix syrup may be dispensed by a fountain. The term may also refer to a small eating establishment or lunch counter, common from the late 19th century until the mid-20th century, often inside a drugstore or other business, where a soda jerk served carbonated beverages, ice cream, and sometimes light meals. The soda jerk's fountain generally dispensed only unflavored carbonated water, to which various syrups were added by hand. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soda_fountain |
