Syrup Line Soda Fountain Glasses
There were hundreds of different brands and styles of soda fountain glasses
and paper cups made in the early days. When the majority
of soda was sold at fountains almost every brand had their own glass to
serve it in.
Many of the earlier soda
glasses didn’t have syrup lines
because the syrup was added from a syrup bottle that had a measuring cap.
That way they could get pretty good estimate of the amount of syrup
they were putting in the drinks. There was a variation depending on the
server. Coke was pretty picky about having their drinks all taste the same so they were among the first, if not the first, to have a syrup line on
their glasses. Later,
fountain dispensers did this automatically.
By far Coca-Cola has the most styles, after all they have been serving Coke
at fountains since the late 1800’s. Some are fairly common,
while others
are
extremely rare and very expensive. Pepsi is not far behind Coke with many to
choose from. Hundreds of other brandscan be found including but
not limited
to Mission, Cheer Up, Double Cola, Canada Dry, Nesbitts, Orange Crush, Wink,
Seven Up, Dad’s,
Klee Ko, Whistle, Vernors, Major
Cola, Fanta, Squirt,
Hires, Nu Grape, Bubble Up and many more.
There are also many glasses from restaurants like Howard Johnson’s,
Friendlys, Steak & Shake and an endless variety of local
restaurants
and eateries from all over the country. Most of the above can be
said about paper cups as well. The big difference is
that most paper cups
where thrown out after use making older ones hard to find.
