One of the things that I find fascinating when travelling is around food. What the differences are, and what the similarities are! Today I am going to talk about creaming soda.That's right....I'm thinking about the big topics!
I am not sure if you have tasted it or not, but I was trying to think how to describe what the flavour of creaming soda is, and I really struggled. The best I could come up with is that it is mostly like a carbonated vanilla flavoured drink. It's not my drink of choice, but every now and again I will see it on the shelf, and think, yes, I could have some of that.
It therefore make sense to me that it would be a brown coloured drink, taking into consideration the colour of vanilla seeds or vanilla essence. And here in Australia, anything being called traditional creaming soda is a brown colour, but it is not actually the same the world over.
If you buy non traditional creaming soda here in Australia, then the more common colour is a vibrant red colour, and I am not just talking about the can. I was very surprised to learn when I visited South Africa for the first time a few years ago that it is a vibrant green colour there. They have also gone the extra mile and your can get all sorts of things that are green creaming soda flavoured. There is flavoured milk, cordial and even chocolate!

I was surprised when we were in Hong Kong last year that creaming soda is more a yellow colour there. I had a pineapple and mango juice (so good!) but I also had to check out the creaming soda while I was there so I made Robert order that!
What colour is creaming soda where you live? And do you even like it?

Growing up our cream soda was white, in Quebec. But it is mostly pink in the rest of Canada.
ReplyDeleteI do NOT like cream soda! Lol, but most of my friends do. And, here in Southern Ohio or Southern Indiana Big Red is the choice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Red_(soft_drink)
ReplyDeleteWe love cream soda! Here in Texas it is a very light-colored amber.
