I don't care much for advertising as a rule, but this one - a remake of a classic golden oldie featuring the original cast - is simply superb.

Should be on prime time TV, and all kids shows.

I thought you were talking about the Cola war disaster of the 80s

That stuff with the green label? It's not bad.

These days If i go for a coke or Pepsi I got for the Pepsi Max or Coke Zero. The amount of aspartame won't kill me.

Growing up I didn't like Coke much as a kid, we had a milk bar so I had ready access to all sorts of stuff. I liked the Tocumwal Cordials cola, local soft drink factory. Not as fizzy as Coke, different flavour, never tasted anything like it since the factory got bought out and shut down in the late 70's Sad

Were you a creamy soda fan? Or did you hate it?

I reckon it would make an interesting poll, actually. But does anyone under ... oh ... 40 or so remember it? No doubt you can still buy it if you hunt around a bit, but it's not something you see teenagers lining up for these days.

Creamy soda, too sweet. Sars was good. Only tasted root beer in the last few years, it has no equivalent in Aus.

iirc, there's two types, one with a brownish colour and another with a reddish colour. creamy soda, creaming soda. kirk's still produces it.

What's the difference between root beer and ginger ale, if any? My guess is that root beer is just another ugly Americanism meaning ginger ale, but that's only a guess. (And I love ginger ale. My mother used to make it. Great taste and a lot of excitement now and then when the bottles exploded.)
