Given that it’s acidic sugar water that’s not really surprising!

I think soft drink is the translation we use here. Funny thing is we do have a beverage here in Sweden that is called "svagdricka", which translates as "soft drink" or "weak drink". It is some root beer-ish stuff.

A suffusion of yellow
ulcers and the marketing of highly acidic sugar water as a fun drink for the whole family is evil
I also find it hilarious when various people I know buy Coke Zero because its 'healthier'

My reasons for calling the Coca Cola Bottling Company "evil" have less to do with their products and more to do with their politics concerning water rights and and policy.

I just assumed you all drank carbonated maple syrup.
(To be clear, that sounds pretty good, honestly.)
Not Kal-El, but what about Kōk-Elcola?
I’d at least give that a taste!
Edit: FWIW, I found that there’s several recipes for maple syrup cocktails and mocktails, some of which DO include something like club soda or seltzer.
The closest I’ve found to a commercial maple syrup soft drink a la Coke, 7-Up, et alia, were these:
Sap! Maple Seltzer
Your Plant-Based Seltzer Upgrade Take your seltzer game to the next level by drinking the benefits of pure maple sap. Unlike most seltzers, which are made from demineralized water, contain artificial flavors, and are highly acidic, SAP! Seltzer gives you a nutritional boost that will keep you...

Apparently, there’s a soda stream one, too.

I have never in my life heard it referred to as a soda fountain, except in what I though were kind of archaic American texts - like an old advertisement or something. When I worked at McDonalds, it was the "pop machine" and when I worked at a bar it was the...hmmm, I can't remember what we called our little gun that shots out pop and soda and OJ and stuff. Defnitely not a "soda fountain" though. That term makes me think of an Archie comic.
