Nothing beats the deliciously sweet taste of this age-old, all-American recipe. Get your fridge stocked up and treat yourself to a cold can of cream soda out on the porch after a long day in the office. Cream soda-water was first patented back in 1865 by Alexander C. Howell of New Jersey. Since its original conception, almost 150 years ago, cream soda has become popular all over the world, but particularly in the US where it is part of the staple diet. A&W make a truly authentic cream soda that your kids won't be able to get enough of. That's if you leave any cans left over for them to get their hands on.
