    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…

          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.
