    Nah, it is definitely a thing in the US. Usually called red cream soda. It tastes god awful, like over sweetened bubble gum.

      Maybe it’s a regional thing closer to the Canadian border

      Although looking it up supposedly “Big Red” is a type of red cream soda, and they love that shit in Texas. But it doesn’t call itself cream soda. Everywhere I’ve lived cream soda is invariably amber colored.

        Yeah, Big Red is the brand I was thinking of. I don’t think of it as cream soda because I love the real stuff (which is amber colored like you pointed out). I am in GA and Big Red isn’t common, but around.

      But have you tried it in a little cup when you’re six at a classmates birthday party?
