You are so fired.

That is not the correct answer. Pack up your desk before I call security.

If it’s a Canadian thread, shouldn’t it be cream **pop**?

But that can’t be! I hate vanilla flavor!  
You’ve all ruined cream soda for me. I hope you’re happy. ☹

Shucks.

Actually, I wonder if Creaming Soda here isn’t the same as what you have there, because it doesn’t taste much like vanilla to me.

That is compelling! Cream soda is a type of pop. Soda water is another type of pop. Well…not really. It’s more just soda water. But cream soda is not called cream pop here. That would be gross. And obviously soda water isn’t called pop water because that would be blatant idiocy.

Sarsparilla is the flavour of root beer.
