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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
