<p>A carbonated beverage dispensing system (10) for dispensing a mixed beverage consisting of a flavoring constituent contained in an individual serving packet (11) and a base liquid (15). The dispensing system includes an actuating unit (16) having a platen (32) that is movable between a retracted position in which is a flavoring constituent containing packet is positionable into the actuating unit with a rupturable discharge end (25) thereof directed downwardly and an actuated position which progressively presses against a side of the packet for forcing the contents of the packet in a downward direction of rupturing the discharge end of the packet and for expelling the contents thereof into a discharge nozzle (19). A carbonated water supply (96, 90, 120, 121) is provided for simultaneously dispensing a predetermined quantity of carbonated water into the nozzle for mixing with the expelled flavoring constituent prior to discharge therefrom. The carbonated water supply is adapted for substantially instantaneously carbonating fresh water as it is being dispensed to the mixing nozzle.</p> |
