Best Places to get Fountain Soda

I may have a slight obsession with fountain soda. Unlike its canned and bottled counterparts, fountain soda has the perfect amount of fizz and is always served to you cold. I like to think I'm a soda snob, preferring to purchase my fountain sodas from certain fast food restaurants. I have realized over the years that certain restaurants have better fountain soda than others. Here is a my ranking of five fast food restaurants based on their fountain soda.

1. Wendy's

At the top of the list is Wendy's. Wendy's earns first place due to the size of the medium soft drink. It's bigger than other medium fountain sodas and is only $1.89. The amount of fizz never fails either.

2. McDonalds

McDonald's comes in second place due to the size of the medium fountain drink being a little bit smaller than the Wendy's fountain drink and while it does cost 60 cents, it's fizziness varies. Sometimes it tastes amazing and sometimes it taste mediocre. I want guaranteed fizziness, not a guessing game.


3. Wawa

Like most of the restaurants on this list, I love the food they serve. Wawa has great food and I could eat it every day if I let myself. However, every place has it's flaws and Wawa is no exception. Wawa's flaw: it's soda machines. Some people love the high-tech soda machines with every soda flavor imaginable but I've discovered that I do not care for the high-tech machines. Sure, they're cool but the soda lacks fizz. And for that reason Wawa gets third place.

4. Sonic

While I love Sonic's popcorn chicken, the soda comes in fourth place. Sonic is placed here simply because the ice is crushed and takes up three-forths of the cup. However, the soda is always on point when it comes to fizziness. I'm also not a big fan of the styrofoam cups and that is one of the main reasons Sonic lands itself in fourth place.


5. Chick-fil-A

Chick-fil-A is one of my favorite fast food restaurants to get a chicken sandwich from, but they land in fifth place because the soda is served in a styrofoam cup. My problem with styrofoam cups is rooted in an experience I had with the cups a few years back. I had Chick-Fil-A for dinner and then went upstairs to get some homework done. Not finished with my soda, I took it with me. Several hours later, when I was making my way back downstairs, I took the cup with me to throw it away in the kitchen trashcan. Half way down the steps, the bottom of the styrofoam cup gave out and my stairs were covered in watered down soda and half melted ice. Was I happy? No. Now I had to clean up the hazard that just spilled all over my hardwood steps. I stray away from those styrofoam cups now.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
