Do the Brits have a Creme Soda like the Canadian Johnny Ryan? Canada has ruined it by placing it in plastic bottles. 6 ounces, ice cold, in a glass bottle is a treat that is most remembered about my youth. Some things shouldn't change.

Yes cream soda is still sold in Britain though not as popular as it used to be we seem to be going more for the American type fizzy drinks like coke.

On the other hand the fastest growing drinks market is the fruit juice one such as smoothies, popular make here is one called Innocent. They are a private company who the fruit producers want to buy out but as yet they are resisting.

Ice Cream soda as a dessert when my mum was young was cream soda with a spoon of ice cream. Nowadays it tends to be any fizzy drink with ice cream but again modern desserts seem to have over taken this one in popularity. It is easier to open a pot or a can than to prepare this - sad but true.
