Regarding the term that Laura is talking about (we're working together)... This is the actual context: it's a radio ad for a convenience store that promotes a special price on fountain sodas versus bottled sodas, and their concern is that people clearly understand that the special price applies only to fountain drinks and not others. An example of tagline or advertising sentence would be: "A refreshing 32 ounce fountain drink for only 49¢". As it's advertisign it needs to be clear but short... and this goes to different US Hispanic market, so we're looking for a "universal" term or couple of terms:)

Bebidas de la fuente de sodas
IMHO, creo que bedidas del dispensador serían todo lo contrario porque esas son las embotelladas. El problema con el término fuente de sodas es que los menores de 30-35 años a lo mejor no conocen el concepto, porque hace mucho que dejaron de existir y creo que renacieron como "juice bar" o "soft-drink bar".

Refesco de máquina no me convence porque podría confundirse con la máquina que dispensa los refrescos enlatados.

Y perdón, no se dice que \"dispensa\", sino que expende.

bebida de dispensador
En línea con la sugerencia de María Teresa (si no recuerdo mal) para beverage fountain.

vaso de bebida
To avoid confusion, the term "vaso" (cup) is a good alternative. "Bebida" es the term used in Chile; not sure whether it is widely used in other countries. Could also be "vaso de soda".
"Un refrescante vaso de bebida a sólo 49c", leaves no doubts.

Refresco de máquina me parece bien, también.
Les cuento que nosotros \'tenemos\' bebidas gaseosas y jugos, que pueden ser de máquina o exprimidos (tambien llamados \'naturales\')
