I also like the occasional glass bottle of limeade or American cream soda.
Is Vanilla Coke similar?"
No, it's totally different. It's got to be Barr American cream soda |

"Old fashioned cloudy lemonade "
Site manager at work recently gave us £50 to spend on snacks for the nightshift. Amongst other things, diet cloudy lemonade was bought but not opened, so I took brought it home.
Not nice! I prefer the full fat version. |

"I had my first bottle of Irn Bru a couple of months ago with a shot, ok 2 shots of vodka mixed in and it was delicious. It’s expensive here at £1.49 for a 16ounce bottle but worth it."
Right that’s been my mind block for as long as I can remember

"The only tizer I’ve see recently was red in colour "
That's how it's always been. I recall seeing it back in the late 1960's in our local shops in Surrey. Tizer brand is now part of the AG Barr Group (as far as I can recall), bottled at a factory near Manchester.
As for your liking to Cream Soda, the Barr version can be bought in various supermarkets in 2L bottle size.
Morrisons are good stockists. |

Kidding. It is not for everyone.
However old irn bru used to fizz and pop and go up up your nose when you tried to drink it.
That was real irn bru back then. |

The standard Irn Bru is a reduced sugar replacement for the original ( more sweetener replaces some sugar ) Irn Bru 1901 is closest to original sells for up to £2 a 750ml bottle .  |

They never put the sugar levels back up despite the national outcry haha.
Personally I now prefer irn bru extra to the "original" now as it's not quite as good as it used to be. Has to be a can or glass bottle though so much fizzier than a plastic bottle.
Apart from irn bru. Lucozade original  |

Interesting I think they pulled it and then U-turned then. Scottish people were going nuts buying it all and “original recipe” was on eBay only. It was jan 2018 start of sugar levy |

We have to make do with plastic bottles across all sizes. |

Yeah they cut the sugar n half and its never been the same, i am not sure if its even still the best seller in scotland, it really changed the taste and put people off
I only ever drank it with a hangover before so don’t touch it at all now
My favourite bru though was “wee bru” the tiny bottles you used to get in your packed lunch for school |

I love the original diet fizz Cream Soda. It goes really well with Rum, so if you mix it with Mount Gay Rum you can guzzle down some Gay Cream! 
I remember waaaaaaaaay back, but not as far back as when corona was a fizzy drink in a glass bottle you got money for returning, there was a cheap cola called Monster. It came in a tall, thin can and was a quarter of the price of . This was back when poor people could only afford one can of a month between all 8 of the family who lived together in one attick and dreamt of finding a golden ticket. 
Virgin released an ill fated cola I remember liking, but mainly because no one else did so I escaped that "giz a swig" plea from a so called mate who would then down your entire can. Quite an insult, but understandable given how desperate we all were for our back in ye olden days.  |

I have just realised you can't put . Coke. Cola is OK. Coka Cola I assume is OK but not . Strange that because given its history there wouldn't be any Coka Cola without Coke, and both can end up going up your nose. |

WKD is the the one, orange or blue in colour.
Back in the 90’s whilst serving in Germany, our go to drink was a pint glass, half vodka half Irn-Bru. Not sure if that was the precedent to WKD or not. |

Irn bru is my absolute favourite but it's not quite the same since they changed the recepie a couple of years ago. Origional bru is the best, this new stuff is just acceptable.

True story..
Was working in Edinburgh couple of years back.
Was on a roof at night and managed to break my ankle.
Say in the A&E department in the morning and the vending machine had 6 rows of Irn Bru..
Had to take a photo to prove to workmates. |

I use to like dandelion and burdock and cream soda. I bought some recently but it doesn't taste the same now.
I'm going to try ginger beer next.

Mmmm, glass bottled Barrs soft drinks are difficult to find south of the border.
I've always thought they taste better out of a bottle as opposed to a can. |
