These older dispensers were around long before the invention of soda machines. Due to this fact, one of the only ways for Americans to enjoy their favorite soft drink, Coca-Cola, was to get it directly from their local soda fountain. Syrup dispensers were used to apportion the appropriate amount of syrup into a glass, and then the soda jerk would add carbonated water. It was in this way, through syrup dispensers, that soda was dispensed until the 1930\'s when modern style soda dispensers were invented.
