Non American here… What am I looking at?
Edit: thanks for explaining. Its not an american thing like I thought in the first place ^^
Soda fountains/soda machines dispense the beverages from a large bag of syrup (maybe the straight beverage itself if they are non-carbonated) that is usually like 3 gallons which mixes with CO2. So the Coca-Cola in the image is hooked up to a tube that funnels the syrup into the machine and mixes with the CO2 to create the beverage you want.
It is mixed with CO2 and lots of water. usually about 5:1, so this BIB makes 30 gallons of soda.
Don’t have to be American afaik. That’s a box of soda/pop sodapop syrup. You open it up, and connect it to the hoses that connect to the fountain. Can lick tho cap before you toss it too, usually a bit of extra syrup in them. :3
Aaaah OK, no i KNOW that we have these syrup containers in Europe, but never saw one in my life for real. Always thought those where like giant plastic bottles
I have changed these in Europe, so yeah, not limited to the US.
That’s only because the US is not limited to the US -_-
It’s soda syrup. Fast food places buy these and CO2 dispensers to make soda that most Americans drink.
BIB - Bag in a Box
Standard format for soda and juice sryurps around the world. Dispensed via a fountain or a bargun.
Feel free to ask me any thing, installing and maintaining soda equipment is my life.
Just don’t ask me anything about freestyle machines, cause I don’t know jack about those monstrosities.
installing and maintaining soda equipment is my life.
That is the first time that somebody made soda equipment sounds interesting and I am ready to dive into a new rabbithole while I cannot sleep 😆
What are “freestyle machines”?
What’re your thoughts on SodaStream?
You can achieve the same results with any CO2 tank and a few brass fittings
Most CO2 tanks and brass fittings don’t inject money into the Israeli economy - that’s specific to Soda Stream. Also you won’t lose your warranty on a CO2 tank for fizzing things that aren’t water, but you will with Soda Stream. Also, without a real Soda Stream, you won’t be forced to stay in each of a power outlet to run an LED that doesn’t accomplish anything except giving the machine a reason to refuse to run without electricity.
Don’t compromise - if you get a competing countertop fizzing system with a pretty case, it won’t fund a genocidal state, void your warranty for fizzing juice, or require power for no good reason. These are unique Soda Stream advantages.
These are also good stress relief. The flap on the front has to be opened to expose the neck of the bag, and you can’t use a blade without risking cutting the bag. So the most common method I’ve seen (and used personally) is to throw a couple of right jabs with a closed fist right at the front of the box.
Punching the box is stress relieving.
I feel seen & appreciated 🥹 I’m a 100lb girl and those syrup cartons are heavy as fuck and restaurant work is torture and I wanted to eviscerate everyone all day every day.
Nothing hits quite like freshly changed syrup and a fully charged CO2 tank
charged CO2 tank
I can still hear the sounds of the CO2 firing.
Did you all get high?
That’s no2, your lungs would get sooooo mad if you did a hit of straight co2…
