You might say it’s the ice, but even when you put bottled or canned soda in a cup with ice it’s not the same.
Need that hasn’t been properly cleaned in a decade taste.

The seltzer water and soda syrup are mixed when it’s pouring into your cup. If the machine is properly maintained, and the syrup hasn’t “expired”, it should be the freshest soda can get.

Its not, canned is best, followed by bottled. Fountain is the bottom drink of last resort.
For me it goes:
Glass bottle > Can > plastic bottle > post-mix (fountain)
I do like a glass bottle soda. Can’t believe I forgot about those.
I’ll die on that hill, but can is better than glass bottle. There’s more fizz going on. Soda tastes also fresher
They are (sadly) so hard to find these days they are easy to forget.
Agreed, this is my preference in terms of taste for sure. Value for money though… well that’s a different calculation.

That lovely plastic lining taste of canned, with the taste of aluminum as well. Honestly glass bottle hits different, but i don’t drink soda anymore
Plastic bottled is garbage. I like an aluminum can ok. Glass bottled is pretty good. But you’re mistaken about fountain.
