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.

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

What I remember most about my trip to Canada when I was 8 was the red creme soda. Yum.

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.

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.

Cream soda my favorite. Nice job. I can see that’s a labor of love. White Rock Soda

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.

This was going to be my suggestion.
