    So those old soda dispensers are supposed to be broken down and cleaned every couple of days. When I worked at a restaurant we had a service contact with Coca-Cola to do it. I worked at a TGIChillibees so it’s not like the maintenance contract was a big deal. Smaller family owned restaurants probably can’t afford it, and don’t take the time to do it.

        What I’m saying is, that soda machine may have gone years without being cleaned. There was likely some syrup residue caked in the plumbing, not unlike cholesterol in your arteries.
