You might say it's the ice, but even when you put bottled or canned soda in a cup with ice it's not the same.

It's mixed at the tap. At a soda fountain thw water, CO2, and syrup are stored separately and mixed at the tap. Flavor difference is likely the result of a different ratio.

I remember hearing that the syrup formula for fountain coke is different from the formula they use in the bottled and canned stuff.
