I’m a big fan of cream soda. I think it is clearly the most underrated of all the sodas out there. That touch of vanilla is tantalizingly wonderfully sweet treat without the bitterness of a coke (I love Coke). Yet, good luck trying to get cream soda at a restaurant. I think the lack of cream soda availability is probably the most iomportant issue facing us today, hyperbolically speaking of course. ---

Amen to that brudda! frankly I don’t know how coke could even manange to bring up the gall to produce that second-rate cream soda “vanilla coke”. A&W is the only stuff worthwhile out there. ---

IBC cream soda pushes A & W down in the mud and makes fun of it, but it is hard to find (IBC black cherry soda is my favorite). unclviny ---

UNITY people! This is why Cream soda is the underdog… we all bicker and argue about which brand is better while Coke and Pepsi steal our shelf space and generally pee in the face of good taste. Also Big Red and Cheerwine rock out with their thingie out! Death to cola! ---

I absolutely _adore_ Cream Soda!! Unfortunately you cannot get it in the UK. Perhaps I’ll hit up Asda (now a part of the Wal\*Mart family) to get some. They are now finally carrying Root Beer (not A&W or Mug quality but Root Beer nonetheless). Cream Soda floats. Ice cold Cream Soda on a scorching summer’s day under a tree next to a creek… Oh yes!! ---
