n my local area, as well as a milk man, we have a pop-man, who comes around once a week on his little float , knocking on the door and asking what fizzy delights me and my sugar crazed daughter would like to drink! One of our favourite drinks is Barr Cream Soda, which (from the pop man) comes in a sturdy, slightly curved clear bottle, embossed with the barr logo round the neck, which you can then hand back the next week to be washed out and re-used . If you don't live in area that has a pop delivery man (poor you!) don't worry, you can pick up this fabulous fizzy pop from many corner shops, usually in 2 litre bottles, or in cans. I don't often see it in ...  Read the complete review

I have been a bit run down and unwell over the past couple of weeks and I have found my appetite lacking as a result. This has meant that I've been feeling a bit dehydrated and so my husband brought in a selection of fruit juices and soft drinks from our local grocery store to encourage me to increase my intake of fluids, hoping it would make me feel a bit better. Many of the juices that he bought were fruit based, and slightly more 'natural' in their content, but there were a few fizzy and soft drinks in the selection too. One of the fizzy drinks in the selection was from the well-known 'Barr' range of soft drinks, namely the "American Cream ...  Read the complete review

When I was little, I wasn't usually allowed fizzy drinks. When I was ill though, my dad used to buy me some Barr Cream Soda as a treat. I am not sure it was the wisest thing to have had when I had an upset stomach, but I can't remember it ever making me any worse! I haven't seen the Barr brand drink around as much in recent years, so when I saw that Poundstretcher stock it, I decided to snap up a couple of cans. As soon as I opened one, the sweet individual scent took me right back to my childhood. The packaging doesn't seem to have changed much over time either. It is stilll marked with pink and cream coloured stripes, which is what helped the drink leap out on the ...  Read the complete review

Some of you may find it surprising that I had never ever even tasted cream soda at all in my life before trying this Barr Cream Soda. Whenever I decided to drink carbonated beverages, I preferred to stick with other more classic drinks such as lemonade or cola, though I had seen cream soda hanging around in the fizzy drinks section and had been slightly curious. However, it seemed a little bit out of my comfort zone at that time to buy cream soda, so I just kept to my old favourites It did not really occur to me to try out cream soda until a friend told me that it tasted delicious, like lemonade and vanilla ice cream together, something that I couldn't wait to ...  Read the complete review

Barr Cream Soda is made by AG Barr, the same people who make the world famous Irn Bru. What not a lot of people outwith Scotland know is that the makers of Irn Bru do a whole range of fizzy drinks, but sadly they are not generally available elsewhere. Ocassionally, in England, you will find AG Barr fizzy drinks in Farmfoods, who as far as I am aware are a Scottish company, which may explain why their shelves have a number of products from well known Scottish food producers on their shelves. Barr Cream Soda is a delicious drink which as far as I can make out has a vanilla flavour to it. Like all Barr products it comes best in a glass ...  Read the complete review
