Have you ever tasted something in your adult life that transports you right back to a childhood memory?
Cream soda has that affect on me.
I LOVED cream soda as a kid. My Mom didn't buy it very often but when she did, it felt special. I still remember what the blue-green Shasta cream soda cans looked like back then and the feeling of carefree happiness I had as a child on summer break. Our family didn't take summer vacations, or any vacations, ever, but the memories I have from childhood summers are precious.
A typical day would be spent roller skating in one of our chicken house barns/playhouse and at lunch time, I would make myself and my little sister submarine sandies on a hot dog buns, package up some cheese Doritos...they had those back then, really, and a can of Shasta cream soda and picnic out on the front lawn in the warm summer sun.
Life seemed much simpler back then.
