Are there major differences bet. fountain soda vs. bottled/canned soda?
Obviously, the sources are different. But are their major differences in taste, sugar content, carbonation, inherent benefits between the same soda (i.e. Coke) from a fountain vs. bottled/canned?

Ingredients wise no, % of ingredients yes.
A canned/bottled soda in a consistant combination set by the manufacturer. It will always be the same.
A fountain soda is mixed "in-house" meaning that the persent of syrup to soda will never be consistant. It depends who changed the tanks out and how high they set the flow.
I am not sure the technical or scientific differences, but YES. I love fountain soda, I can't explain it but it has a different taste, so does soda from a can, Dr. Pepper in a can has so much carbonation, makes me burp so much. Someday, I hope to have a soda machine installed in my house, so I can have fountain soda anytime!
canned soda is mixed before canning. Fountain soda is mixed at the store you get it from. The syrup comes separate from the carbonation..
I think fountain soda tastes better than canned/bottled. It's a fresher taste. Also, this may be totally stupid, but I live in Central Florida, and when I go to the beach, the fountain soda tastes different, kinda saltier. I like it better.
