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.
Big Red started out as a kind of cream soda!
Fun fact: the clear cream soda JJ showed is from Jones Soda, which was founded in Vancouver, Canada but then moved its HQ and operations to Seattle, WA, USA.
@@JJMcCullough True! It's believed to be the original "red cream soda" and was first called Sun Tang Red Cream Soda!
@@JJMcCullough whaat no way
@@JJMcCullough I only just found this out a few days ago. My friend bought generic red cream soda and I took a sip and looked him right in the eyes and said, "Is this whatever the fuck a Big Red is?"
Apparently yes, lol.
"I made you a cream soda!"
"What flavor?"
"CREAM FLAVOR"
"Damnit, I asked for cream flavour, not cream flavour!"
Damn It Man I'm A Doctor! Not a creamologist
@@ginch8300 "Damnit, I asked for cream flavor, not cream flavor!"*
@@GayKermit-._-. the most commonly used way of saying flavor is also flavour in other countries other than America that also use English as a language, its just more widely used here in the America's, so it's the correct way of spelling it either way its just unnecessary for it
*mini cream soda bottle pops out of bigger bottle*
As a South African that lives in Australia It’s a amazing treat to go to South Africa and have cream soda because it’s rare to find the green one in Australia.
Yes! I miss our green cream soda!
Fun fact: it’s also a hangover cure
@zionistjewish9513 we don’t talk about that, but just say North America better be expecting a few immigrants at least…
Iga have it
@Zionist Jewish Don't think vastly improved economy, education rate, quality of life and access to electricity post-apartheid count as "societal collapse".
This doesn't exactly scream "collapsing society to me".

Lets go fellow South African people, this was a OG drink
still is
I grew up with this drink, my little nephew's and cousins drink this constantly, watching this video made me feel like my life is a lie
Sparletta all the way 😂😂
Probably have one in my fridge 😂
It's lukker my bru
Yes in the UK it's clear and kinda hard to describe the flavor but it's very sweet
Yes, visually indistinguishable from lemonade and I believe flavoured to somewhat emulate a lemonade float i.e. vanilla ice cream in lemonade. I am a big fan of it myself.
thats cane sugar soda, we have it in texas too just tastes like simple syrup lol
Is the flavour that hard to describe? Its just vanilla.
@@dairallan Or more specifically vanillin. Artificial vanilla.
And it tastes amazingggg
Australian here
The most popular creaming soda I've seen is actually pink much like the Canadian one
Sold by a brand known as Kirk's it's a huge classic here and greatly overshadows the brown variety
Was going to say we have never ever seen a brown creaming soda 😂😂
@@ronnyszn5817 yeah, ahahah I was debating whether or not my life was a lie
I have never seen brown I have only seen kirks
Yup. Never even seen brown in my life
creaming lol very sus
Here in TX we love our Big Red Cream Soda. Even has its own festival called the Big Red/Barbacoa Festival
Really? I’ve lived in Texas my whole life and I’m just now learning that Red cream soda even exists
Big Red sucks
Don't y'all have like a Dr pepper festival too? I know Maine has a moxie festival
Big Red is Common here in OH too
Blue cream soda is also in the us, its from Frosties and it slaps
Yeah
Towne club also has it but its only in michigan
I've always thought of all Cream Soda's as vaguely vanilla flavoured
YES
Exactly
@@drury_vr4413 what's with everyone using your pfp
@@xe5309 there is a cult made by a youtuber named jellybean and the profile I have is for that cult
@@xe5309 Yes just make sure you don't become one of them lifeless cult followers
As a Floridian, the cream soda I’m familiar with might be the “tan” one you mentioned, but it was a mixture of tan and clear, like an off-white color.
Also a Floridian, I can picture the color! Like Walmarts brand kinda. It's a tan clear.
@@alyssaurus17 As an also Floridian i can agree it’s tan.
As a Floridian, (saying that probably doesn't make sense in this context) clear one; that brand has several different colors of cream soda so I got confused lol
As an Ohioan I agree with you on this ine
As an Arizonan (you’re equally hot but drier cousin) we agree with this statement.
I grew up in Ohio. We had both red and regular tan cream soda. There was a period in the early 2000’s where red swept the market.
In my house it was always a debate whether we should get red tan or clear cream soda. So we’d usually get 2/3
Also the barqs red is still vanilla to me just with the signature barqs “bite” I’ve never tasted a different flavor in it that I’d say was a cherry or strawberry since that’s what the color would denote it should be
It’s like lean 😭😂
Even now in Ohio, the Sheetz gas stations are ALWAYS sold out of the red cream sodas. My sister in law just graduated high school last May and told me it’s kind of a thing now to get a bottle of red cream soda and a McDonald’s vanilla cone to make a float.
I NEED ALL YA CREAM SODA~
American cream soda is very similar to root beer but with a more vanilla-focused flavor. It comes in the same bottle that A&W root beer does. It's usually sold right next to root beer regardless of brand. It's also very slightly lighter than root beer but still dark
The budget soda brand Shasta sells pink cream soda that is cotton candy flavored
Edit: I'm only talking about the west, I can't speak of the other states
This is not true across the US with regards to color. Stores near me sell tan/brown, clear, pink, and even blue. All of these ones I can buy are the same flavor (vanilla). I’ve had Shasta’s before and it is indeed a different flavor. It’s such an inconsistent soda nationally, let alone on the international marketplace.
If you like cotton candy flavored drinks Faygo cotton candy tastes exactly like it. It’s great in vodka
@@chiefexecutivemanager8152 they don't have that in CA. Faygo is such a weird name lol
@@Real_Donald_Trump Weird name, good soda.
I think the brownish cream soda is more of a southern thing like in Texas or Louisiana
That explains a lot. Once had relatives from Asia visit, and I bought some cream soda since they said it's their favorite. They did not recognize the drink much at all and I was always very confused by this incident.
As an American who grew up in rural Utah, both vanilla and red cream soda were common enough to the point that everyone referred to them as "blonde cream" or "ginger cream" to specify which one you wanted someone to grab for you.
I always thought cream soda was like a vanilla cream flavor. The tan/brownish sodas are the only I've seen, heard of, and tried. I rarely drink soda but I may have a few cans of this kind a year and its pretty tasty.
Even still in Australia, it seems more common to see pink cream soda over brown cream soda.
(Edit: This is going to be the least consequential thing I've ever said, yet it is by far some of the highest engagement I've ever got...) :V
Yeah I disagree with JJ on this one (am Australian)
Despite the brown being overwhelmingly superior
I think creaming soda made by kirks is trying to be something different in terms of taste, it's like a fruity / bubblegum taste. I believe the American's cream soda is a vanilla flavored drink which is the brown/green cream soda that Schweppes makes
@@deanwilson1562 yeah I think he messed up by not realising it's "creaming soda" in Australia, might have limited his search results or something
I disagree, they’re pretty much as common as each other,
I’m South African, when a South African sees something green the default flavour is cream soda. We have green milk that is cream soda flavoured and I think at one time McDonald’s had a green McFlurry that was cream soda flavoured.
I'd default to melon flavor if I saw green
As a Soviet, green is tarhun.
It's usually lime green apple some sort of melon kiwi or mint here.
I went to spar a while ago and I see we have Blue cream soda now... the Heck.... its much sweeter then the Green
Awe this man gets it
I've been looking for Cream Soda the song sm that yt finally caved and showed me this lol
My parents who are also Canadian as am I always say when they were young that cream soda was clear/light amber coloured as well, and that the pink colour started in like the 70’s-80’s but they didn’t drink much of the stuff so their timeline might be wrong of when the dye was added
As someone from the UK, I never knew there were so many versions of cream soda... I thought it was all just clear and tasted like ice cream.
yeah, it seems we have one of the most boring-looking cream soda :'(
@@asparagus420 I quite like the "Barr" cream soda though, you should try it if you already haven't, far better than any cream soda you can buy in supermarkets (you can find it in corner shops) because it has sugar, not sweetener.
Here it tastes kinda like a combination of Rootbeer and Dr Pepper
If you try it from Tesco it tastes exactly like fizzy vanilla ice cream it’s wierd but nice
@@zues121510 you naive fool!
"Brown Cream Soda is popular in Australia"
Literally never heard of it. Our creaming soda is identical to the pink crap you have in Canada and appears also at childrens parties for reasons I'll never understand.
really? i live in south australia and usually we have both pink and brown
@@vivictinimoved bruh I also live in SA and you know damn well no one busts out that brown one, it's pink creaming mixed with pastio and coke or that kirks lemonade
all the cream soda i know is stewarts cream soda. its so good
Same, literally never seen the brown before
@@vivictinimoved you also eat Fru Chocs and spell harbour like you're American. You guys are build different 😅
So EXO is using the japanese version 😂 ~Cream Soda~
The Japanese is メロンクレーム (melon cream). It's not just cream flavored.
It's never cream flavoured. Cream soda is soda you can add whipped cream/ice cream to. Vanilla, maybe a hint of strawberry or mixed berry, melon, a hint of cocoa etc. whatever soda makers or beverage sellers think goes well with whipped cream or ice cream.
As an Australian I literally laughed out loud at this. I’m 25, have lived in 2 different states in Aust since I was born and have never seen, nor heard of brown cream soda. I’ve only ever drunk and loved the bright pink creaming soda that I will agree has kind of a cotton candy/fairy floss flavour
Yeah I’ve been to all the states in except south Australia and I have never even seen brown creaming soda
yea same i think he is mixing it up with sasperella
i have seen brown cream soda down here, its that sodastream stuff. Other than that only the pink
It’s every were in rural parts of Victoria and pretty much every were
Really!? In Victoria we have both varieties. Personally, I think both taste awful
And here I was, still thinking that "Cream Soda" referred to some exotically American drink with creamy milk in it. 😅👌 Thanks JJ!
Versteh überhaupt nicht was "cream soda" jetzt sein soll 😂 hab zuerst an Frischkäse gedacht, aber das würde ich ja nicht in einer Limo trinken
I always imagined cream soda to be some kind of "root beer float" situation.
That’s called an Italian soda so your not crazy but it being a thing is they sell them at coffee shops
Nope! For the most part here in the States, “cream soda” will mean a vanilla-flavored soda.
You're right Lucas. Their was an old fashioned drink called "egg cream soda," that was made at soda fountains in the US once upon a time. It was milk, soda water, and chocolate syrup (no eggs). The nasty bottled stuff today is supposed to be a version of it (in case you don't have a soda jerk nearby to make it by hand like a bartender at a pub.)
Omg I love red cream soda, it's so good. It's like a delicacy when I get it because I rarely ever get it
They actually have some pretty cool Asian cream sodas. Mango and melon cream soda taste really good.
In Australia we have pink "creaming soda" never even seen the brown one. The picture for Japan's one looked like Melon Soda, which is meant to taste somewhat like melon. I've never really encountered anything named creaming soda in Japan, but I don't/haven't live there for longer than a year at a time.
Source: I'm half Japanese, half Australian
クリームソーダ is just melon soda with ice cream, but they also sell it as it’s own thing in bottles which is melon soda with cream
Brown cream soda was popular a few decades ago. It was more popular than the red one, just the cheap brands stopped making it, idk why
Im australian and i have only heard of the pink creaming soda ._.
Idk how you don't find the brown creaming soda it's not hard to find every store I've been to has it either in the 400ml bottle or the 1ltr bottle especially in drake's foodland Coles and Woolworths
Yeah we have brown “cream soda” and pink “creaming soda” you can find both at some places in Australia
I don't know why, but the abrupt ending after the "is red" is so funny to me lol
Ohio is just that weird... we dont need a punchline
@@Roaether Ohioan here, I agree with you
@@flagtoons Yep, but are we the weird ones for having red cream soda?
@@collinhutchison970 not really… I always thought of it as normal. It’s a fitting color.
Big red is the only "cream soda" I recognize!
I also was born in Puerto Rico raised in western Massachusetts and my first creme soda was Stewart's brown cream soda and I fell in love with big red while driving through Kentucky
In Australia I've barely ever seem green cream soda. The one I see most is kirk's cream soda which is pink
Barq’s cream soda, as someone from Ohio, is absolutely AMAZING and I personally cannot imagine drinking any other type of cream sodas.
Barq's*
@@kiraPh1234k it is, oops! I thought it was a g and not a q. :)
Same, I didn’t know the red creme soda was just an Ohio thing till now. Grew up on that stuff
@@Ceej3 seriously? Now that you mentioned it, I don't recall ever seeing the red anywhere else... not even right across the river in wv. ( 15 mins away ) welp, I'm making a trip to the home state this evening after work, gonna stop a few places and look for that red deliciousness cream soda.. in the mean time, I recommend 7ups winter edition in the mini cans.. They're the bomb! Nothing else comes close, and.no, sprites winter edition isn't the same!
Jones is seriously the way to go, but if you don't have those then Barq's my 2nd choice.
As a South African I must say that I’m surprised that any Cream Soda wouldn’t be green.
Why’s yours green???! It should be pink!
Yes
I know!
I got to try the traditional Cream Soda from a popular soda parlor back when I was in the country of Georgia. It's called Lagidze Water and it's pretty delicious
Also, it's a bright yellow color
As someone from the south our cream soda is either light brown (vanilla) or clear usually (either cotton candy or vanilla or both) and blue (cotton candy flavor) and all are good.
I’m mesmerized by the way he kind of bounces in place while explaining. Shows how into the flow of information sharing he is.
Lol I just cant help but think he looks like hes sitting on an exercise ball in every video 😂
Honestly I first started watching his videos because I was so transfixed by his mannerisms. The way he bounces and pauses while talking is just so unique and fascinating haha
He’s likely sitting on an exercise ball- a tactic used for some people for posture and fidgeting
i was thinking thisss
It's driving me crazy I came to the comments just to see if anyone else noticed that
In Canada where I'm from it has always been a clear drink. Also "cream soda" flavoured freezies in the summer are white
I don't know what sort of shenanigans JJ is pulling here but Crush cream soda has always been white. Strawberry Crush is the one that's red usually. JJ, we need answers.
“Cream soda is red in Canada” is JJ’s version of “we all drink bagged milk in Canada.” In Quebec Crush uses the same pink label shown but with a very clear liquid.
JJ, we need your investigative skills. Call a convenience store in each province and find for us where the fault line is between red and clear. Bonus points if you can find pineapple Crush outside of Newfoundland!
I am also Canadian and to me the bottle of Crush JJ is holding is the quintessential cream soda. Tho both me and JJ both live in Vancouver. We also have clear cream soda that tastes very similar to the Crush cream soda. I can’t remember the brand name but I know isn’t Jones
JJ has a way of making literally everything so interesting!!! Like who knew to even look into cream soda colors and flavors? JJ is up there at the very top as one of the most interesting people on RUclips!!
I'm so glad you mentioned our Red Cream and specifically Barqs because I've drank that my whole life! I saw the beginning and was like "woah that's like red cream soda here"
I went to my Guatemalan-American friend’s wedding and they had every last flavor of Fanta as a sober person it was dope
You’ve just blown my mind! In the UK, only ever seen clear cream soda and assumed that was the only type. Now reflecting on conversations with some international friends and realised we must have had very different things in mind 😂
Here is quality content: ruclips.net/video/raXu3JYrYjI/видео.html
Ohioan here, I’ve never had or heard of red cream soda but now I want to try it
Australian here- most popular brand for creaming sofa (not exclusive to it though) is kirks, which is pink as well with a sweeter taste
Cream soda is one of those divisive foods. You either love it or hate. I’ve always loved it haha cream soda is a good alternate soda for a root beer float
I used to love it as a kid but it’s just way too sweet for me now
@@benh1026 I’m the opposite, I used to find it too sweet as a kid but now I crave it sometimes.
Every time I go to South Africa I love getting the green cream soda and anything to do with it. I remember getting ice cream cream soda, milkshake cream soda, cream soda flavoured candy etc. We would always take some back to the uk and treasure it for months. I’ve also found that IRN bru tastes similar.
Bro Irn bru is so good
Haha next time you come you should try a Green Mamba, it's a glass of Crème Soda with a few scoops of ice cream.
(Sorry if you already said you drank it)
If you live in London, you can get the cream soda from a South African shop called The Savannah, in a few places around London (There's one in London Bridge Station).
Ha that's interesting I've had irn bru
Have you had the marshmallows? It’s my favourite creme soda flavoured thing. Ever since covid my local South African shops are having supply issues and I miss the marshmallows lol
Second favourite is the creme soda fizz pop
Australian here, we have all kinds of cream soda over here. I think the most common ones I see are red and amber. Their main distinguishing factor is the smooth creamy taste.
Australian here, the brown one is quite uncommon, the red/pink one is very common :)
Goes well with Ice Cream!
One thing people debate about the name is whether the "cream" in "cream soda" originally referred to normal cream, or ice cream. There seems to be evidence in both directions.
I don't like pop much, but cream soda (along with root beer) are the ones I'll have on occasion. Cream soda is also the only time I use the word soda to refer to soft drinks
I wondered why you never hear Cream Pop.
Pop is the correct term
You obviously live in the western part of the US. East coast=soda. West coast=pop. Personally, I say pop. 😁
@@russbear31 Midwest says pop. Afaik, the west also says soda.
same here! basically live on iced tea and coffee, but i will have a cream soda or root beer sometimes…has to be A&W though!
here in the great lakes region, we actually have many types of cream soda still. the type that most non-midwesterners have is just called vanilla cream here
Hong Kong also had the green color. When I was younger I knew cream soda as just ice cream with soda water. It produces and interesting texture
JJ uploading a video each day is a shear bliss !
In America, we have flavored cream sodas from a brand called "Stewarts" that has flavors like orange, cherry etc and we used to have a brand that had everything from banana to blueberry. The plain vanilla tasting ones are just cheap easily produced soda given the name to add nostalgia.
The brand was Jones. We have it here.
Im from California and know cream soda as being white and actually made from cream.
Stewart’s Black Cherry is to die for my man
Never heard of this one, I usually have A&W, IBC or Shasta
Canada has Stewart’s. It’s not that popular here
I'm from south texas and I've never heard of a soda just called "Cream Soda" without more explaination than that. And I've seen plenty of varieties, but they always had “Red" or “Vanilla" or something with it. I never knew that there was any confusion on what flavor it was supposed to be until watchting this, and am 40 years old.
When I was little my uncle and Aunt (they're Canadian) would sneak the pink soda to America I remember being so happy when they brought it!
In Australia, I'd say that the pink "creaming soda" (especially Kirks Creaming Soda) is much more popular than the brown "cream soda" by Schweppes. I used to love it as a kid.
In the UK, we usually have an orange and tan can, theres cheap mall which Is pink and branded BARR ones, usually with pink and tan sunrays on to bottle
I work in a supermarket in Australia and I’ve seen that brown cream soda.
As a Missourian, I can think of three colors of cream soda I’ve seen in stores:
-I think most cream sodas I see are usually brownish or tan,
-There’s this Vess cream soda that’s sort of a purplish-red color, and
-Fitz’s Cardinal Cream cream soda that is
red.
In the Maldives we had cream soda in green color from a brand called three choice
I’ve always called it “Creaming Soda”, as it’s written on the Kirk bottles and cans. Whilst I didn’t necessarily associate the pink colour with the term, I was unaware that there was such diversity.
Yeh creaming soda is pink for me because that's what colour the Kirk's can are
Schweppes brown creaming soda kicks Kirk's arse. And Tarax's yellow one
Seeing Jones in a well-viewed video warms by heart. Still my favorite brand, basically the only kind I’ll drink
In Poland we have a similar type of soda that comes in a bunch of colours - mostly red, yellow and clear (but you'd probably find more). The soda is called oranżada and it tastes like hard candy
In Australia most creaming soda is pink too, but there are some examples of brown creaming soda marked as ‘traditional’.
As an South African...it was my favourite treat to add 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream to a glass of green cream soda. We called it a cream soda float. Delicious!!!
I’m familiar with the off-white cream sodas coming from someone who lives in South Carolina. Whenever I go to a restaurant or Universal where you can mix multiple sodas together I usually mix cream soda and any flavor of crush sodas because where I live there aren’t any flavored ones
In Australia we have two types that are widely available: the brown type shown in the video, and one that looks very much like the Canadian one from the beginning.
In Russia we do have this cream colour (FFFDDO) which I always thought was the obvious colour to that type of flavour
That Sparletta bottle brings back so many wonderful birthday related memories, I can't imagine it tasting or looking any different.
Great piece of trivia though!
Here in California when you say cream soda most people expect the Barq's light brown cream soda. I was never a fan growing up but I find it pretty good now. Still much rather choose a different soda. Cactus Cooler is my favorite soda which is only really sold here in southern California
SoCal native as well. Cactus Cooler is awesome!
I live in NorCal now and I miss Cactus Cooler so much.
hey did you know it's actually Barq's and not Barg's?
I'm canadian to, but the same "crush creme soda" here in Québec is colorless
growing up in virginia it’s usually a brown or tan color, but as an adult i’m spending a lot more time in new orleans and almost all the cream soda there is red too! i think regional differences like that are so special
Fun fact, in the southern part of the US, specifically most parts of Texas, Southern Indiana, and part of Kentucky, you can get a red cream soda! There’s a big name brand called Big Red but it’s very sweet. Barq’s, who also makes root beer also sells red cream soda! It’s got a blend of citrus oils that make it have an almost Bubble gum flavor and is definitely up there with blue moon ice cream with the distinct but kinda hard to place taste!
Blue moon is almond :)
Big Red also has a bit more spice or kick to it along with the sweetness. And it has caffeine, which cream sodas don’t always have.
I’m from Texas (where Big Red is from) and my grandma used to make Big Red ice cream using 2 liter bottles of the soda.
It was SOOOOOOO good!
A few times we used it to make “reverse Coke floats” and put it in Coke or in vanilla cream soda.
Definitely a treat you can only get away with when you’re with Grandma, lol.
Big red is nasty, tastes like gum nasty
Big Red's in all of Indiana.
@@fuarkYT I’ve found the further north you go, it’s not very common. I moved to Michigan for a year or two, and past a certain point, it was very hard to get unfortunately :(
I love the way his Canadian accent comes through very subtly every now and again
Canadian here this guys accent is truly different. Just like where your from each place is very different sounding so we don't all talk like him. Some talk weirder like people from Saskatchewan. Thats what we get made fun of all the time is those guys. I'm not from there but I assure you all Canadians don't talk strange.
Where I live in Quebec, the Crush brand cream soda has always been clear... but they used to sell strawberry sodas too...
Another thing is that the poplar lollipop/sucker brand dum-dum here in the USA has a cream soda flavor and the packaging is green and has little fruits on it and I had never connected the dots. Ive had a few japanese cream sodas and they were my favorite. Now i love dum-dums even more.
As Australian, everyone I know loves a pink creaming soda by kirks and tastes like cotton candy. like the one from Canada.
As an ohioan, I love cream soda to death. I’d search for it every time my family went into a gas station or convenience store, but I had no idea we’re the only ones with red cream soda I thought that was just normal along with tan colored.
Same
I just went digging in the comments for this, as I was curious as well. Didn't know it was an Ohio only thing. Never really thought about it
Here in Louisiana, at least the part I live in, you can find red cream soda pretty regularly.
Pennsylvania has the red as well.
In the late 90s early 2000s Coca Cola had a red cream soda that was very much like Big Red
I just think of creme soda as root beer itself
Over here on the US east coast, I'm used to the beige vanilla-esque stuff, (liquid gold if you ask me) but interestingly I noticed today that Dum-Dums lollipops have pictures of tropical fruit on their cream soda flavored ones, and are oddly yellow-green on the packaging, despite being the color and flavor I associate with cream soda under the wrapper.
I have never actually heard of cream soda, but the name “crush” reminded me of a drink called Krusha we have in the UK. You basically add one eighth or so of it and the rest milk, and it is so unbelievably sweet that when I tried it for the first time since my childhood I only used about one twelfth rather than an eighth and I literally thought my head was going to explode!
whoa that sounds wild! i wanna try it here in the States!
it is the best milkshake maker in my opinion
I'm in my late 50s and I vaguely remember something called 'cream soda' from when we were kids. I must have tried it but all I remember was a slightly sweeter version of clear lemonade. It seemed old fashioned then, so that possibly killed it off. Of course what we call 'pop' or fizzy drinks, the Americans call soda, so when I first heard people talking of 'soda' in US TV shows, I assumed they were referring to cream soda.
@@rogink Soda in some places, Pop in others. Soda also refers to "Ice Cream Soda", (ice cream in soda pop) in some places. In some parts of the south, it's "Coke". I don't get it, either, and I'm American.
@@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!
In Chile we don’t have a drink that can be called “cream soda”. Maybe the weirdest thing we have is papaya soda and cherry soda with real cherries inside.
Both of thos sound hella good. And you can actually buy individually flavored cream sodas in the U.S because they're not widely popular.
That Cherry soda sounds good
In the west indies our cream soda is white with ice. It takes like if a rootbeer float melted and you added some evaporated milk and sugae. It takes very very good.
in the midwest “cream soda” is the tan kind, A&W is one of the major brands. and we specify “red cream soda” for the pink one that has a slightly different taste, its less common and more of a generic store brand thing.
except in St. Louis for the Cardinals baseball team there is a specific red cream soda called Cardinal Cream.
Fitz’s brand does a lot of glass bottles sodas specializing in many fruity flavors and cream sodas.
In the US if you go to a grocery store it's not uncommon to see 4 or 5 different colors of cream soda lol. My favorite though is the tan cream soda that tastes like a root beer float 😋
does anyone else wanna try some of those spice sodas? Spruce seems like a great flavor for soda.
definitely!
In Quebec, you can pretty commonly find “Biere d’epinette” soda which is basically spruce-flavoured soda.
In India we have lots of them. Look up Jaljeera, Shikanji and Kanji
@@duckpotat9818 I will look those up, that sounds awesome. I know there's an Indian supermarket near me and i'll definitely look for it.
Root Beer is a spice soda, since sassafras is used as a spice in many Native American foods, which is how various types of French people in southern US learned about it. It's what makes gumbo taste like gumbo.
The red cream soda shout out is appreciated. No one shows it enough love
In Australia we have brown cream soda but the pink one is more popular
As an American I'm heartbroken to discover that everyone doesn't have the best cream soda out there, it tastes like rootbeer and vanilla ice-cream and I'd die for it
Whats it called
@@papasscooperiaworker3649 it's just normal cream soda here on the west coast
I'm from Argentina, idk what root beer tastes like

I always wished Soda shops were still a thing. I might’ve developed diabetes as a child though so I get it. 😅
Some local drug stores will still sell soda ‘soda shop’ style.
@@Ouchiness Really? Where?
@@Crispman_777 I live in Southern California, I’m pretty sure we have one in south Pasadena
@@Ouchiness Right. It's pretty novel then
As an american, I understand cream soda as a flavor/texture meant to replicate a root beer float after you've eaten all the ice cream
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.
I actually lived in a college town with its own soda company. their cream soda is bright red do! I wonder if that flavor was more popular around here. I did never see the red cream soda until I came here. It's pretty tasty though. if you mix it with Vanilla Ice cream it turns the whole drink pink.
Living in the U.S. I've only ever had cream soda in two ways. One, as it's standard American clear-ish brown and as a mix with orange and oh my god have I looked everywhere for it to no avail. It was so good and way better than both in their original state. I genuinely love it and I'm curious to what all kinds of cream sodas taste like now. Thank you for reassuring my belief that orange cream does, in fact, exists.
yeah the brand Stewarts makes orange cream soda, its usually available in grocery stores in bottles near the glass bottled waters etc.
^ in addition to this I recently tried orange cream soda from a brand called Sprecher that I found at Rural King and it was GOOD. Probably the best cream soda I've had!
I used to drink this really good blue cream soda, I have no idea where my grandpa bought it or why it was blue.. but I remember it being very vanilla flavored
Was it Frostie blue cream soda?
@@displexity87 I stg I thought you said Florida cream soda I was like ofc it’s florida🤣🤣🤣
I’ve had that from Frostie’s it always reminded me of melted blue slushees
Here in Australia the most common is actually the pink/red and we also have the green and brown, I believe the brown has some vanilla flavours while the green is almost like a cream lime
Jones cream soda just hits different
Here in NY all Cream Soda’s light brown and tastes like vanilla, I’ve never seen clear or red Cream Soda I didn’t realized there was so much variety
Red Cream Soda is big in Texas
The red, light brown, and clear ones all taste approximately the same in Canada, so you aren't missing anything.
there is Blue Cream Soda too, maybe my favorite, more of a bubblegum flavor
The south African cream soda makes me think of my childhood, I'm in the UK now and I haven't had it for so long
i know i miss it so much! nothing compares
So I used to go to summer camp in the Midwest, and while typically I was used to tan or clear cream soda, the local comisary used to sell a concoction of blue colored cream soda with chocolate ice cream called the "tidy bowl." As you can imagine it was a big hit amongst us middle-schoolers.
Growing up it was always red, and yes, at EVERY birthday party! I have definitely come across clear cream soda as well. Both are delicious! It's really good if you put a little milk in the red kind, makes it creamy!
As a Texan, the most top tier form of cream soda would be Dr Pepper cream soda, it’s just the familiarity of the original taste with the cream flavor that makes it amazing
