    I had totally forgotten about it until I just saw the thread, talk about a blast from the past. I haven't seen it in years.

    They've stopped making it. I was quite pi55ed off when I found out as the stuff was lovely and had next to no sugar in it. I can't find any other Cream Soda that tastes similar, they're all completely different.

    Maine Soft Drinks American Cream Soda is the best... only problem is they only deliver in the Finglas/Cabra area... :( once you taste that you'll never ever go back to a different cream soda.

    They go around in a truck selling to homes. They don't have any in stores... They are usually in Gortmore estate around 2.00-3.00pm and up around Casement in the evenings. I'll see if I still have the drivers phone number and PM you (i no longer live in Finglas and can't get it anymore, sometimes I drive over for it though...)

    In the evenings I think they're back up around Casement... I know they were around mine at this time on a Friday when I lived there. Give him a ring and see if he answers...

    Wow, I haven't tried cream soda in years. It has a "soft" mouth feel, doesn't it?

    I was in ALDI today and they had cream soda by the pallet. I didn't buy a bottle, but I think it was labelled "Specially Selected" and it had a kind of "retro" tinge to it.

    The cream soda in Aldi looked... yellow the last time seen it.

    Yes, thats a good description, I thought it tasted like lemonade with a bit of icecream in it, like a coke-float.

    Whenever I hear/read "TK" I envision an auld lad like d'unbelieveables saying "stick a drop of auld Taylor Keith in dat" -dunno if it was in an actual sketch. Always sounds like a real auld fella drink/word, like "minerals" & "tumbler". Surprised its gone, thought it would have been their best seller besides red lemonade.

    Still listed here, might be out of date though http://web.archive.org/web/20060827081816/www.cantrell.ie/our_brands/range_tk.htm
