Take a Swig of Twig's!

Have you ever wondered how this soda came to be known as cream soda?  There obviously isn’t any cream in it.  Some have suggested that back in the days of days of soda fountains the guy behind the counter would include a helping of cream to the glass before adding the flavoring and carbonated water.  But that sounds more like and egg cream.  Nowadays sodas are made with citric acid or phosphoric acid, a large part of cream soda's distinctive flavor comes from the use of tartaric acid.  Tartaric acid is more commonly known as cream of tartar, which could very easily be the origin of the name.  The phrase 'cream soda' was used in print to refer to a tartaric acid-based drink as early as 1852. 

Anyway, after rototilling my garden it was quite pleasant to set on the porch with a frosty cream soda made with 100% REAL sugar.  Take a swig of Twig’s!
