Still on the nostalgia trip.

Anybody remember soda fountains? Almost every drug store of any size had one. You'd sit at the counter and you could order light lunches (sandwiches, pie--and shakes or malts made with real milk, ice cream, and flavored syrups mixed in a big metal can from which you could fill the big glass a couple of times). And almost all the soft drinks--including Coke--were made with a squirt or two of syrup and carbonated water on tap. You could even have a couple of different syrups, say, like a chocolate Coke. Whatever crazy combination you could think up; a nickel a squirt, as I recall.

I used to like Green River (greenish colored syrup and carbonated water), but I never really knew what the heck it was. Tasted good, though. Anybody know?
