Many pharmacies installed soda fountains and sold ice cream to give customers an excuse to give them even more money as they waited for their prescriptions to be prepared.
Maybe doctors offices and mechanics should consider something similar.
- nitrogen 7y agoDidn't soda originate as a sort of "medicine" during the patent medicine days? (7-up had lithium, Coca-Cola had cocaine) If so, it makes more sense that a pharmacy would have a soda fountain.

It's my favorite cola, or was. The quality ingredients might explain the low popularity. Haven't seen it for years, and never at a pharmacy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Bull_Simply_Cola https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Bull_Simply_Cola
