Racing Savannah by Miranda Kenneally
Sourcebooks Fire, 2013
As main character Savannah observes a wealthy girl’s birthday party:
I salivate when I see the chocolate fountain. The other half of the tent — the side for adults — is elegant, with silk gold tablecloths, succulent flower arrangements, and a champagne fountain. Good god, how many food fountains do these people have? Is there a ranch dressing fountain? Where’s the Diet Coke fountain?
And later, encountering the hot boy she likes:
He looks yummier than a ranch dressing fountain.
And now I’m stuck with the image of a ranch dressing fountain in my head! Yum, pass the carrots!

lol ranch dressing fountain. I haven’t read any of these but have heard they’re super cute!
I liked this one a lot! Haven’t read the others, but I’d like to some day when I have time. 🙂
Thinking about food fountains…I’ll take a Mountain Dew fountain and a nacho cheese fountain…How cool would a nacho fountain be on football sunday?
Oh, yummmmm. I’d probably want an iced coffee fountain (sweetness plus caffeine!)… or maybe a caramel fountain, which would be gooey and delicious. Mmmm, food fountains!
I like quotes so thought I’d jump in. Nice feature!
I like the sound of that chocolate fountain…
I’m glad you’re jumping in! I’d like to spend some time near that chocolate fountain myself…
