Something I haven't seen in a long, long time...

 was shopping tis afternoon and I had to go down the soft drink aisle when something caught my eye.  Cream Soda.  I haven't had cream soda in a long time so I bought a four-pack.

 
The unique thing about this brand is that it come in honest to goodness glass bottles and you need a bottle opener to pry off the cap.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

Being British I rarely see this here and whenever I have tried it I simply could not work out what on earth it was meant to be. A strange tasting concoction.

What actually is it?

Interesting question. I drank it for years when I was younger and never thought about what was in it. So, I looked it up and found this:   https://sodapopcraft.com/what-is-cream-soda/

Actually, my favorite is Vernors Ginger ale, then Hires Root beer, and then Cream Soda!

When I was a kid I loved Sarsparilla. A few years ago I asked the waiter, a young guy around 19, if they had that. He had never heard of it and said he’d ask the bar man if they could make it. I said no, it’s not a cocktail but a soda, to which he said no, they don’t have it.

Frankly I haven’t even seen it a most grocery stores in years. Might be able to find it at a place like Wholefoods or Central Market who carry a wide variety of niche items.

I have never seen that in the UK but I saw it quite a lot in Australia and found it quite refreshing.

Is there anything they don't sell? I bet one could buy pixie toenail clippings on that site if one needed them.

What brand was it?

Anyone in the Naples, or Miami area that can tell me the brand name of the famous Cuban, or Latino brand of soda sold in that area? When I lived in Naples, we could get it in the Publix stores, but I can't remember the brand name.

Thanks

My dad used to do that.  He'd go into a restaurant and ask for sarsparilla.  Already by the early 2000's none of the waiters knew what it was.

Same with "bourbon and branch".
