Creme Soda
I believe Creme Soda tastes fairly different in other countries and is more often a clear, light brown, pink, red, or even blue drink. For us, drinking a glass of differently-coloured Creme Soda would be much like trying to drink a mug of red coffee or blue tea. Perfectly distasteful!
When visiting South Africa, you absolutely have to try Creme Soda.
It’s green, but you’ll love it. 
Been years since I had a cream soda ice-cream float aka Green Mamba!
Interesting that you mention the Green Mamba Chris. We went to a pub/restaurant in Stellenbosch on Tuesday and they had “Green Mamba” on their menu – except that Green Mamba was Creme Soda and Cane…
Creme Soda and Cane.. wow, not too keen on that one, it would probably put me on my ear
Ah, it was only 5% Chis – even you and I could handle one of those.
Hehe, agreed, although I had a braai last night and consumed enough alcohol (sigh at how I feel today) for 2011 I reckon
I have been trying to find out what flavoring is in SA Creme Soda, but it certainly isn’t Vanilla! (Or at least that is not the dominant flavor). I could swear it tastes just like lychees. Whatever it is, it has a strong perfumey flavor that I find very unpleasant in a soft drink. Of course I am used to vanilla flavored creme soda so was surprised by a bright green, very fragrant, odd tasting drink. Definitely, not good for making a soda float!
Ha ha, perhaps vanilla tastes different where you come from Fred.
I don’t think it’s lychees – I know what you mean though.
I’ve just checked out the Wikipedia article and found that it tastes like Vanilla in the US, but in SA: “It is green in color, with a rose/floral taste.”.
In retrospect, I guess that could be a more accurate description, but I have to disagree – it makes a perfect soda float!
