What did you get when you went?
Was it good?
I went to a local one a few times before they closed down. I was just getting old enough to go where I wanted on my own as a kid. It was in an independent pharmacy. I had a vanilla coke, lemon coke, and some ice cream / coke drink. It was all delicious. I wish we still had places like that. Now they have all been replaced by bland corporate mcdicks, that serve a never ending supply slop.
>>21395865 (OP)Yeah we still have this in my city. I got a Coke once. It was good but nothing I'd go out of my way for.
>>21395865 (OP)We still have two in my neck of the woods. I usually get a egg cream soda
>>21395865 (OP)We had a Woolworth's with one in Augusta, as well as a Sky City when I was really little. I got Icees from the Sky City one, and Cherry Cokes (mixed) from Woolworth's. There's nothing magical about the old fountains, but mixed on the fly flavored Cokes are awesome.
>>21395865 (OP)i've never been to a real one, but i make my own soda syrups and mix it with carbonated water. you can larp as a pharmacist when you make interesting alcohol extractions of herbs/spices to flavor the syrup. that's how they were doing it back in the day
>>21395865 (OP)I have not but I've seen plent of Scooby Doo episodes and such that have scenes inside of a "malt shoppe" whatever that is
>>21395975In the woods, eh? No wonder.
>>21396351No wonder? I'd call that wonder if it were truly in the woods. You fucked up, anon. It's not in the woods.
>>21395865 (OP)Strawberry Phosphate
>>21395865 (OP)There was one I went to in Venice Florida like a year ago
It was whatever, I donโt even remember anything in particular about it
I grew up in the sticks, but when I went off to college there was an old timey soda shop and ice cream parlor. Managed to stay in business until I graduated, but it's a phone store and a few other shops now. I rarely went, wasn't really a fan but I'm not too keen on sweets.
