Cream soda
Cream soda
Cream soda (pronounced: /kri:m soʊdə/) is a sweet carbonated soft drink. Its name is derived from its unique cream flavor. Traditionally, cream soda is flavored with vanilla and is either clear or colored a light golden brown, but variations exist in different countries around the world.
Etymology
The term "cream soda" dates back to the mid-19th century in the United States. The "cream" in the name is believed to refer to the creamy taste of the drink, rather than any dairy ingredients. The "soda" part of the name comes from the sodium bicarbonate used in the drink's production, which is also known as "baking soda".
Variations
Different countries have their own variations of cream soda. For example, in Canada, cream soda is often pink; in South Africa, it's green and tastes like caramel; and in Japan, it's clear and has a taste similar to melon soda.
