How is a drink that has been popular for generations "underrated"?
Can't people just say they like something?

MODERATORS
- Relax
- Do you know anyone whose favorite pop is Cream Soda?

Nothing that I typed gives the appearance that I'm unrelaxed

Lots of people, plus it's available at damn near every store I've ever shopped at. It's not slept on, and people aren't hating on it.

Liquid diabetes you mean? That stuff is so sweet it makes my teeth ache worse than coke.

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?
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.

Sometimes I see a blue cream soda flavor that tastes like bubblegum. Or maybe it's supposed to taste like Blue Moon snack cakes.
~~Hear hear~~
Wait, I thought you said overrated.
I actually disagree, it's overly sweet and tastes like chemicals
Everything tastes like chemicals. Everything is chemicals.
So when someone says something has a chemical taste, you have no idea what that could mean because you assume they're referring to every single substance on earth?
Don't be ridiculous... it isn't limited to just Earth!
The flavors of cream soda, birthday cake, sugar cookie, are just vanilla.
Just vanilla
Vanilla is a wonderful, rich flavor, thank you very much =)
I don't disagree, I will choose vanilla over chocolate any day. But the "fancy names" they use are just a substitute for vanilla. Cream Soda used to have egg as an ingredient to make it 'creamy' tasting, but now it's just vanilla.
I don't drink it often, but when that craving hits....
We just bought a box of Bawls energy drinks (still around!) and I swear it's just like cream soda

Never had it, is there a particular brand I should try/is readily available in US shops?
Virgil’s is the best. Boylan’s is pretty good, a bit too sweet. Dr. Browns is very interesting. Marshmallow-y? Jones cream soda is middling. I’m missing a few other good ones. Don’t do A&W or anything with corn syrup, imo.
Jones is decent - it’s a clear version The one I like most that’s accessible is IBC Cream Soda Maine Root also makes a delicious one that you can find in some dispensers.

As a cream soda enthusiast, if you can find Sprecher, it's the best I've had. Their root beer is pretty meh though.
Faygo
Bruv, real talk. Faygo has entirely won me over. I had their root beer, it's the tits. Every soda I've tried from them is on par with what it's supposed to be, but they're still like a third the price. Great shit.
Hell yeah. I used to drive by the factory everyday on the way to work. Rock'n'Rye, Orange, Grape, Moon Mist, Cream Soda, Red Pop. It's all good.
I like the flavor, but every one I've tried has been entirely too sweet.
best soda, tbh
Hmm. Gross.
Say that to my face.
Its alright but was never big on it but your post made me look up original recipes for it and now I want to go do that.
