Is it soda or pop? :thinking:
soda of course, they call it a soda fountain, not a pop fountain. Also, a bubbler is called a bubbler not a drinking fountain or water fountain. Kohler branded the name "The Bubbler", so in fact that is why we call it a bubbler. Kind of like when we call tissue Kleenix even if the tissue is a store brand name.

I don't remember what city I was in, but once I asked where the bubbler was and they looked at me like I had two heads. KInd of funny.

I've always called it pop but I spent years traveling all over the country and the general consensus seems to be soda. I don't mind being wrong.
and according to this, I'm wrong about being wrong.

That's how I feel about them too but more than half the time I feel that way someone is making bank off the thing I don't like.

That's always going to be the case. I don't worry too much about what other people are doing, just what I need to do to meet the needs that I set for myself. If someone else is do something I don't want to do? Oh well. Not my problem.

It's nice to see something so logical so early in the morning.
