It is a good way to use cheaper tea like the tea bags that only contain tea dust. A cup from these will be rather bitter but it can taste nice once you add milk and/or sugar.
It’s basically just a vanilla-flavored soda. Apparently there are some European varieties, according to the wikipedia page, but they must not be that popular if you’ve never heard of it.
You can get it in Germany but typically only in import candy stores. While I don’t mind the flavor it’s generally considered too sweet by people who try it.
150 years ago, sure. Coca-Cola has neither coca leaves nor kola nuts these days though, and modern cream soda in the US is a vanilla-flavored amber beverage.
I never got people that load up tea with sugar and milk. It’s barely tea at that point.
I just like sweet tasting early grey with a bit of caffine

Tried to order green tea at a drive thru once and they asked what I wanted with it. Confused the heck out of me and I just responded with “uh, tea?”
Reminds me of when I asked for a cream soda at Wendy’s and they responded with “What flavor?” and I was like “Uh… cream soda flavored?”
Turns out they didn’t have regular cream soda…
European here, what the hell is a “cream soda”? That sounds horrible.

Nothing to do with vanilla.

I don’t shame people who order what is effectively a coffee flavored milkshake every morning. But I wish they’d cop to it and call it a milkshake.
There’s two thousand calories in your mocha triple vanilla pump latte, Susan. Own it.
I never got people that get excited about tepid leaf water.
