    It’s been years since I last saw them in McDonald’s here in Germany, maybe even a decade. I’m surprised they survived that long wherever OP is located.

      Netherlands here. Same. Can’t say I remember ever seeing a customer facing drinks fountain at any fast food chain place anywhere in the country. Hell, even anywhere in the EU. I was about to say anywhere in Schengen, but although I have been to Switzerland once, I haven’t been to a Swiss Macca’s.

        Aussie checking in, similar situation. I remember there used to be one at the hungry jacks facing the customers, and it always had puddles of liquid on the ground. Perhaps that’s why it was discontinued.

        They’re not on the American Style Burger places any more, but Ikea in Sydney has customer-controlled fizzy drink fountains.
