RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I'll go the other way, cream soda (the green stuff) is revolting. I like creamy soda (brown stuff), I accidentally bought some of the green cream soda sodastream flavour and it was disgusting.

Dumped the rest in my work kitchen where some psycopath has been finishing it. Power to them I guess.

Green? Brown? Where I'm at it's either transparent or milky/white. Why would that stuff be colored?

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm mostly familiar with piss colored cream soda.

[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Okay, I think you need to see a doctor. You might have blood, or candy in your urine.

A&w cream soda and Jones are both piss gold. I'm not aware of any other cream sodas.

[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah, there is also pink here (Australia). I'm beginning to think this might not be easy to compare directly...

In any case, brown and pink are good, green is gross.

Yeah, Schweppes fucks. I didn't realize they made it in Australia too.

[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Who knows if its even the same thing though...

[–] jodanlime@midwest.social 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's a pretty similar color. Maybe we should ship a bottle to each other and compare.

[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm guessing that results in 2 empty bottles and a lot of sticky postmen, but sure, if you really want to try that :D

[–] jodanlime@midwest.social 2 points 1 week ago

I'm failing to see the downside here.

Sometimes I see a blue cream soda flavor that tastes like bubblegum. Or maybe it's supposed to taste like Blue Moon snack cakes.
