[edit] Which is which (pre v. post)

I've switched this article back to using my original definition of pre versus post mix. The meaning is this: post means the beverage is mixed "after" it comes out of the gun (more accurately, during). Pre mixed means that the beverage is mixed long ahead of time. For supporting evidence, see: http://www.wunderbar.com/products-product.aspx?ProductID=5 If you go to the schematics, you can see that there are many hoses coming into these post-mix guns, each for different components of the beverage.

I still may be wrong about this information, as I still don't have any first hand knowledge. If you are certain that it is the other way around, please do correct me. Just please don't use only intuition to make the change back without citing any evidence or experience. Cheers. --Aphex3 21:23, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article started

About my research for this stub. I've never worked in a bar and never handled one of these devices personally. Everything here came from scouring the internet, which has surprisingly little information about these devices. If you want photos, the best source I found is ebay. Search for "gun" in the category Business & Industrial > Food Service & Retail > Bar & Beverage Equipment > Fountains, Soda Dispensing. Of course I couldn't include any photos in the stub due to license issues.

I wasn't sure how to categorize this stub. Drink-stub was the most specific, but perhaps is only meant for actual beverages? --Aphex3 16:03, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Is the soda gun in the picture pre- or post-? Jacqui ^{★ 04:49, 4 November 2005 (UTC)}

"A soda gun has the ability to serve any beverage that is some combination of syrup, water, and carbon dioxide. This includes soft drinks, iced tea, carbonated water, and plain water." This sentence is contradictory. Plain water is not carbonated. --NoPetrol 07:50, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Well, while I don't know much about soda guns, I do know that some can shoot plain water. Maybe the sentence could be reworked to explain that it can shoot one, two, or all three of those ingredients at once? Jacqui ^{★ 08:48, 4 November 2005 (UTC)}

Changed "and" to "and/or". — flamingspinach | (talk) 19:37, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
