Nailed It! Cream Soda Recipe Version #2 

Glen: Starts pouring vanilla Me (eyes widening): That's a lot of vanilla! Glen: "Yeah, I hear ya, that is a lot of vanilla" Me: :O

"Oh cool, he made a good cream soda, I'll try to make some" *Glen puts $25 worth of vanilla in* "ORANGEADE IT IS"

Me thinking to self: "Oh wow that's a lot of vanilla" Glen: "Yeah, I hear ya, that is a lot of vanilla" Me thinking to self: "How did he do that? Can he hear me thinking this now? What is life? Vanilla amount seems more reasonable now"

What I mostly like with this channel is the personality that Glen brings. It feels as though you're a guest in his kitchen, and him being a food excentric he's very eager to talk to you about food, in a way that's not annoying or pretentious. I can't really say what makes it so great with only a few words. He just seems genuinely inspired and passionate. He doesn't claim to be an expert, he critiques his own food creations each time. He's humanly imperfect and it's just plesant to watch. My favorite is at the end of each video where he does the final taste, you can really see the passion in his eyes as he goes for the last judgement, his concentration when he's analyzing the flavour according to his expectations. The show feels very organic, please never commercialize it, keep doing you Glen.

Hey Glenn, can you try making energy drink? And if you want, try making it healthier than the usual energy drink.

I've been recently watching your videos and have really enjoyed the beverage videos. I'd love to see you make some more sodas, possibly root beer next?

“Welcome friends” is such a great intro, so peaceful.

i came after exo released their song cream soda

I've been tryna lose weight all year. Now I know I just need to drink hot water and vanilla to lose all my flab-anoids. Thanks Glen!

the poop emoji is a dollop of whipped cream lol.

All the cream soda I've ever had in the US has been that color. Ive never even heard of red cream soda

My 5 year old: "Thats a lot of vanilla" Glen: "Yeah, I hear ya, that is a lot of vanilla" My 5 year old all wide eyed "How did he know what I was thinking?"

I'm from Quebec and my girlfriend is from Ontario. Imagine my surprise when I first visited her and I cracked open a crush can and out came PINK cream soda. I was sure they made a mistake and accidently put strawberry soda in there but my gf thought I was insane. An argument then ensued over the colour of crush cream soda. Years later we still argue about the REAL colour. She says pink, I say clear! After doing some research I read that Crush marketed it that way in Ontario (and later on in western Canada) because they added grenadine to appeal to that market. I always thought they tasted exactly the same but I would have to do a side by side taste comparison

“Yeah, I hear ya. That is a lot of vanilla” lol. I’m sure it smells amazing!

my mother always used to say that everything that has sugar in it, should have a little bit of salt too. ive found it to be very very true in all my cooking

Brilliant! I grew up with that tan-ish colored cream soda (upstate NY for reference. And I also consider carbonated beverages Pop).

Getting addicted to this channel man! I'm from a tiny island called Malta in Europe. Can you make any of our traditional food which you will be keen on doing? Keep up the good work!

Like the way you think. When I am trying new stuff, I make one bottle of the final product. You make 5 liter jug of syrup.

Cream soda color looks like Schweppes Cream Soda we have in Hong Kong.

Necesitaba saber que era… jejejeje En fin EXO REYES DE LA INDUSTRIA

Replace the cocoa nibs with rosewater and use pure vanillin rather than extract with a dash of green food colouring for the Pakistani/ South African version of Cream Soda. Why do SA and Pakistan both have green rosewater cream soda? Who knows? Just enjoy it.

Electric pink? That's about as red as red gets.

I used cocoa nibs in the boil one time while brewing a Belgian-style Tripel. Clogged the spigot and was a huge headache but wound up tasting a lot like cream soda.

Your cream soda looks about as expected for American cream soda. Why's cream soda usually PINK on your side of the ditch?

We have the red cream soda in St Louis,Missouri as well. I believe the red color originally came from the addition of grenadine syrup.

I literally had nothing to drink in my pantry but water and I wanted soda so I mixed vanilla eggstrack cinnamon sugar and soda water boom cream soda

At first I thought the citric acid was salt, then got disappointed it wasn’t because salt seems like the obvious choice to enhance those flavors. Then you grabbed the actual salt and I got excited again. Lol

I wonder if a little coconut flavor would be a good variation on cream soda

I always assumed it was a dollop of cream on the pop shoppe bottle.

so cream soda is basically sugar & water mixed together. Got it

My heart missed a beat with the vanilla… wow. hahahahah

That first bowl wasn’t fully empty. You should go back

Love the duo at the end and it's always so relaxing and good quality of each of your videos :) Keep it up!!!

So..you basically make the syrup and add soda water?...also..i love cream soda if you get the chance try WBC vanilla cream soda..its freaking amazing.

Excelent video, I wonder if it's possible to get the creamy texture without the lactose o.O

“I’m going to use Lactose. If you’re lactose intolerant don’t use it” If you’re scared of heights don’t go to Mt Everest If you’re claustrophobic don’t go in a closet

I like to make my cream soda with a wee bit of almond extract for an amaretto flavored cream soda. My wife loves those orange cream push-up ice cream pops and a splash of orange extract in the cream soda, works great to match the ice cream pops. A sweetened Vanilla & Orange extract syrup mixed with Chilled Kefir or when making frozen yogurt is like the push-pops with a hint of lactic acid zip.

In Arizona, USA, the cream we have here is generally the beigetones, haven't seen red for cream.

I hope to one day have a similar dynamic to you and your wife. I'm quite young but I think the dynamic between u two is so heartwarming

Are you using a Seltzer machine? I’d really appreciate it if you made a video about that, thanks

your thumbails remind me of the fight club poster

Oh My !

What if you mix less hot water in the syrup mix and make it more concentrated before then adding carbonated water?

Crush clear cream soda is the only Cream Soda. Jones is close and red just sucks! And you don't get Crush anymore in Alberta. Sorry you blew this one!

What are you using for the carbonated water? I'd love to have a nice dispenser like that in my kitchen! Also I have *never* seen red cream soda before--crazy! :o

Cream soda has lactose? I’m lactose intolerant but I can drink it with no problem. Is commercial cream soda made with artificial cream flavor?

I live in CT in the US and Cream soda is always caramel colored. We used to have Pop Shoppe here and they used the same color. I'd guess it is regional and they match to the region where they are selling.

this might be an us thing or a Midwest thing but I've only seen gold cream soda

I love how passionate and knowledgeable this guy is. It's always great when you see someone share their passion

I came here after EXO comeback cream soda😂😂😂 Exo-L🎉

Been waiting for this what seem a like ages. Love the way this channel is blowing up. Can't wait to see what's on the horizon!!

I'm surprised you didn't try lactic acid, rather than citric acid.

I want to see Passiona done by you! I'm an American but I've heard wonderful things about this soda and we can't get it here from Australia but by the import route. Passiona!

I’m pretty sure the pop shoppe logo is whipping cream not a poop emoji

You made it!

Here in South Africa cream soda is coloured GREEN 98% of the time

Lmao you said "mouthfeel".

What kind of soda machine does he have? That looks cool.

Glen you're amazing

Hey loving the channel and drinks. Could you take a look at a Sarsaparilla drink next? Here in Australia it's my favorite soft drink (soda drink). Specifically the Schweppes or Hartz branded versions.

I agree with the last comment a root beer recipe would be amazing! Its hard to find and expensive in the uk but i love it

I bet this would be tactic if you added some orange, strawberry or peach flavorings, too...dreamsicle, strawberries & cream and peaches & cream!!😄

OF COURSE I MADE THIS! It came out great but to me is was missing a flavor note. My paramour likes cream soda a little sweeter too. I added 20g brown sugar at the end and that added a caramel flavor along with a little more sweetness. That was perfect for our tastes.The ONLY downside is that I have had more soda in one evening than I usually drink in a month - ha ha! For the record; it comes out a lot lighter in color when you use a good Madagascar vanilla. Thanks so much!

Cream soda is better than beer. Change my mind

HELL YES Brother

Jones Cream Soda has a nice cotton candy flavor! As far as the pink cream soda, we have a similar red cream soda in Texas called Big Red.

Wait what? Red cream soda?? Huh I think of the light golden color when I think of cream soda

Really enjoyed this video. In South Africa our cream soda is bright green :)

A possible cause for the perceived lack of carbonation might be the salt. The two don't play nice together.

It's not a poop emoji it's soft served ice cream Google it yourself. It's never been about poop it's always been soft served ice cream.

Speaking of favorite sodas from childhood, do you guys have birch beer up there? I grew up in upstate New York and it was kind of all over and it always hovered around my Top 3 Favorites, but since growing up and moving around the country a bit I've found it is _nearly impossible_ to find in some places. It was a real trip going from being able to find generic store-brand versions of the drink to struggling to find even a name-brand version, and I'd really love a recipe that I could make at home to remind me of growing up.

a leafs fan around late april....pain.

I am guessing the poop emoji, is actually meant to be a squirt of cream... cream soda

you said that if you're lactose intolerant not to use lactose, do I just leave it out, or do I replace it with something else like sugar (because its milk sugar)

Cocoa nibs. Flavinoids. I love that these words exist so much, have a sub good sir

Is it possible to make pineapple agua fresca into a soda drink?

Omg! “Red pop” from the pop shop. My favourite from when I was 5. I just found this channel yesterday & love it! ♥️🇨🇦

The image look like the poo emoji

Finally! The 2nd version of the Cream Soda experiment. I made it according to your recipe and it was the best cream soda I ever had!!! Also, I made a 2nd batch and this time I added a bit of almond extract and it made the taste of the cream Soda taste as it came from God himself!!!

Thanks Glen! Definitely going to try this recipe. So interesting about the red cream soda. Growing up in South Africa I only knew it as green. Only later did we get other brands producing clear, more 'old fashioned' tasting cream soda.

I've never tried cream soda. I don't tend to drink soda as a rule anyway, but after watching this recipe I'd be tempted to make some of this as it sounds delicious. However, I'm diabetic AND somewhat lactose intolerant. :-( Do you think it would be possible to substitute something like erythritol for the sugar? Is there anything that might make a good lactose substitute that gives a similar mouth feel to the lactose?

I subbed after I watched you pour the vanilla and said "dang, that's a lot of vanilla!" and you literally look up and say "I hear ya, that's a lot of vanilla!"

Michael Cera in 25 years

It's no poop it's cream

Make your own extract with vanilla beans

I've heard baker's imitation vanilla is actual better than the real stuff due to being sourced from more than one source. It won some blind taste competition.

I have 2 guesses regarding the whip-looking image on the Pop Shoppe bottle. 1. Cream Soda was historically made using whipped egg-whites, and this was sometimes put ontop of the drink. 2. Cream Soda is sometimes served with iced cream.

What’s intriguing (though not surprising) is that the recipe for the drink and the composition that would produce the perfume that smelt of cream soda actually aren’t that dissimilar. Vanilla, ethyl maltol (which is the primary molecule that gives burnt sugar is distinctive caramel flavour/smell), lactones (the scent molecules that gives lactic compounds their scent/flavour) etc etc.

Should maybe do a cherryade one

😂😂 I loudly say "GOOD NIGHT!" When he's pouring the vanilla...he looks at the camera and says "yeah, I hear ya." 😂😂 Sorry, I'll be quieter next time...

“In Quebec they like the clear one”. I grew up on that.....subscribe, subscribe, subscribe! Despite your unfortunate jersey 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Who remembers Rock N’ Rye soda as a kid???

Ice cream next.!!

As Glen was pouring the vanilla, I was saying stop, Stop, STOP, STOOOOP!!! Then he said, I hear ya, it’s a lot of vanilla

when i saw the amount of vanilla I lost it lol, that's like $40 worth of vanilla. I verbally said aloud, "that's enough for 10 cakes!"

Poop emoji ?... Man you are NOT a millennial so automatically associating the whipped cream peak with a poop is a non sequitur...

If you have right flavour for Stewarts Cream similarity, Im happy. However you’ve stated you like lots of carbonation, (perhaps your years at movie theater?) I prefer another balance than a fountain drink would taste. I’ll let you know how mine goes w/your tecipe, my homemade vanilla ( the vanilla orchids grow here) vs good Mexican vanilla - I just cannot go artificial and growing drying our own beans, certainly can immediately taste differences between Central/South American & Pacific Vanillas, I use about one liter/month, but TYVM!! You are trying RootBeer, but how about Sarsaparilla? Like Rootbeer, so many variations- each western family in US lower 48 apparently had their own recipes in late 1800s, early 1900s. Was that the same in Canada? Friends & family there say theyve never heard tell of these recipes, albeit theyre largely from other parts in past generations, either Yukon/Alaska colds or Ontario- curious about 4-5 generations of westward settlers.

Here in Michigan I grew up with Faygo brand cream soda which is clear like the Jones. Also I find the "Red cream" sodas to be a totally different profile than the clear/tan versions.

Back in Ohio we drank Brarq's Red Pop which us kids called cream soda. BTW...BRP makes the best ice cream float. But since we can't find BRP here in Missouri...switched to Barq's Cream Soda.

Growing up, cream soda sold as "cream soda" (or "creme"soda) was clear. Red cream soda, often flavored with strawberry, was always known as "Red Pop" after Faygo's brand name for it.
