    As an American, I’m actually more familiar with dark-brown colored, vanilla flavored cream soda (sort of like root beer). I’ve seen clear cream soda before but it’s not as popular where I live, but I’ve never seen red cream soda before. Interestingly though, the Canadian cream soda you described as being red and cotton candy flavored sounds very family to Big Red which is popular here in Texas.

      Yeah, no. It's the alternative to a root beer in a float. No cream. It's just a flavor meant to have whipped cream or cream added to it. Any flavor mix you might add to a milk shake or ice cream is suitable for making as a cream soda. Root beer is a thing of itself. Cream soda only exists for you to make an ice cream soda or whipped cream soda with.

      @@theinsanegamer1024 Interesting to hear that ‘ice cream soda’ can be shortened all the way to ‘soda’, I would have thought that to save time and avoid confusion the generic term ‘float’ (any pop with ice cream on top) would be used instead. I have said and heard both terms ‘ice cream soda’ and ‘float’ used here in England and I’ve eaten/drunk them before but not for many years. They’re nowhere near as popular or widely consumed here as in the States but this thread is making my mouth water!

    Interesting! My impression has always been that cream soda, as a rule, is a flavor style that exists totally independently of color and other flavors involved. Which is obviously true but like I mean that I thought _everyone_ considered it a genre of product rather than a specific product/form. Maybe it's because I've known a lot of Faygo fans so I've seen a million cream soda flavors 😆

      In New Orleans, we always hear that Barq’s started here and that Barq’s root beer & red creme soda are from here too. (Even though they say they started in Biloxi.) Is Barq’s also popular up in Ohio? Given Americans’ love for apocryphal origin stories i wouldn’t be surprised if New Orleans, Biloxi, and Ohio are all wrong 😄
