Years ago we used to have a pop man. One of the pops was green cream soda. I want to get my OH a few bottles for christmas.

Does anyone know where to buy it from? Im near chester, cheshire.

    I remember! And it was the Corona man and you got money back on your empties. Don't recall cream soda in a green version must admit, only clear. It did have a very distinctive taste and smell!

    We live in Scotland and Barrs Cream Soda is clear and in glass or plastic bottles and cans, But when we went to Blackpool a few years ago the same Barrs Cream Soda was green. I asked the woman in the shop why this was and she said it was so that it didn't get mixed up with clear lemonade, I haven't been to Blackpool for about 14 years so I don't know if they still sell it.
