Tap+Coke coulda gotten them just going soda or soft drink

Tho you’d think they’d realize we didn’t clue Tab so prolly not those

The reason they are fountain is they are “fountain drinks” because they come from a “soda fountain” if not canned/bottled

You do have to be careful cluing American terms to Euros. They are not known as soda fountains in Australia, and I imagine it's the same story in the UK.

I'm actually not entirely sure we even have a proper term lol. I'd just call that a soft drink dispenser or machine or something. "Fountain drinks" are definitely not a thing tho.

We also only really have them in Maccas and Hungry Jacks (Burger King), so they really aren't that common. And we don't have free refills like you do in the States. The only people using them would be employees.

This is fair, and has been considered with previous clues. We’ve also considered UK-specific clues at times when DZ has been guessing. I’m not exactly sure how we’re supposed to know what is an “American term” in many circumstances. Coca-Cola is one of the biggest global brands on the planet. How tf am I supposed to know how people outside of the US do and don’t refer to the fountain that dispenses it? It’s not like we call them Yankee Spitters or something. They’re fountains that dispense soda.

I'm not yet sure what your e10 is

I know of an e10, but it's not great, so don't think it's what you are thinking of

I mean I know of 2 e10s, but neither is that great; just gets in the area, not to the word

I don’t know what anyone is talking about, but I’m sure they’re all great, I congratulate you for them, and I hope someone bolds one of them sometime in the near future

I would've known what you were referring to fwiw, just from movies and tv etc. I feel like I have a pretty good grasp of most Americanisms, but I do still come across some things that I have no idea wtf it's referring to.

Maccas = McDonald's btw, and I only just recently found out that Australia is the only country to call it that.

Yea the one I'm thinking of should get the word...again different domain than A2, I think you'd get it fairly quickly if you thought on it tad more and may like it a lot

yeah but if a2 doesn't get it in first guess, then c7 will finish it up (or opposite c6); I don't think we need e10 for this round

but then I also don't know what e10 is and maybe it's a slam dunk to get it in 1? I'm just worried because I am confident that a2->c7 or a2->c6(opposite) are about 100% to get it in 2 and very likely in one...i'm not sure that e10->a2 gets it in 2 every time because I don't know what e10 is
