How come soda from the fountain tastes different than when you buy soda in 2 liters or cans?

Answer 1

It has more syrup in it.

Answer 2

Because soda you buy is all from the same mixture. Fountain sodas have the syrup and the carbonated water added separately and if you don't have it adjusted right, it's either too sweet or too strong.

Answer 3

Like some people have said, the fountain soda is freshly mixed with the CO2 and you have fresh carbonation which means you have a fresher, clean taste!

Answer 4

Usually a gooey brown syrupy mixture is delivered to the store in a bag, then the store employees mix it together with soda, that's why it tastes different and sometimes tastes horrible when they mix it wrong. I believe there are also automatic mixers, that mis together the soda and the syrup while you are pressing down the button.

Answer 5

three reasons:

one is that from the fountain, the mixture may not be the same as what the bottler uses. maybe more/less syrup, water or carbination.

two is that the drinks from the bottler sit on shelves for days or weeks.

three is that water from different areas can taste different depending on how it was processed. when the water has a funny flavor, that flavor will make it into your fountain drink.

Answer 6

Bottled sodas are premixed. Fountains mix the soda water and syrup when you are filling your cup.

Answer 7

Because the soda and the sryup are not mixed until that moment and do not sit on stock room for a year

Answer 8

they use some chemical on the lining of cans...that may make it taste different. Plus the different packaging preserves freshness differently.

Answer 9

More carbonation

Answer 10

because its freshly mixed
