  I guess I’ll own up to it. I remember soda fountains. The ones at Woolworth’s would sometimes have a string of balloons above the counter. If you ordered a banana split you would pick a balloon; the soda jerk would pop it and you paid the price on the slip of paper inside the balloon. According to a search the stores lasted until 1997, but they were gone from my area long before that.

    I remember going to Woolworths in the late 80s and early 90s! They didn’t have soda fountains by then, but they always had fun toys I would convince my dad I needed lol
