  Soda fountain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Soda fountain is a North American term referring to the carbonated drink dispensers found in fast food restaurants and convenience stores in the US and Canada.
Historically, a soda fountain referred to soda shops and the part of a drugstore (pharmacy) where sodas, ice cream, sundaes, hot beverages, iced beverages, baked goods and light meals were prepared and served.
Soda shops and pharmacy fountains were superseded in the 1950s by diners when bottled soft drinks, commercial ice cream, and fast food restaurants became popular.

The term is somewhat archaic these days, as there are very few drugstores that still serve ice cream and soda.
