There is a TRAGEDY lurking in a post here!!!

@savestheday was regularly served CREAM SODA mixed with RED WINE.

What's the statute of limitations on calling CPS. Somebody put on a cape and fix that shit.

I thought I was the only one thinking this was insanity. Cause... Ewwwww.

[isabel]

I'm sorry, what?

[FastHands]

I guess that's one way to make sure your kid doesn't want to drink wine. Or cream soda.

My thoughts exactly.

That's one way to convince your kid that alcohol is icky.

FastHands beat me to it.

[lexxasaurus]

That's disgusting. Her parents should pay severe consequences.

It was delicious!! Somehow it's " Italian" but I am not sure how that is?

Red wine gives me headaches or else I would try some right now.

I also drank Moxie though.... So my taste buds may be skewed.

I've heard red wine and coke is popular in...Spain I think. I bartended an event where a man drank scotch and grapefruit juice all night. I have nothing of use to contribute but they all sound bad.

I feel like that's "Italian" the way MarioKart is "Italian." Lol

I just threw up a little.

Somewhat related, I used to live in a place where Henry Weingarten sodas were treasured more than solid gold. I used to mix it with Crown Royal, and invented the "King Henry." Soooooo good.

Was it absolutely CREAM soda. Not Club Soda? @savestheday

Apparently, Big Ang from Mob Wives LOVES this drink. So this is a "thing".

I model all of my dietary choices after mob spouses.

I sensed that through the internets.

In all seriousness, from what I read, in Spain they do something similar but with a crappy red wine, so you are trying to make it better. For Italian Americans it was a way of letting your kid sample wine safely, I guess. You can also use coke or root beer.

I just asked my Mom & apparently my grandmother drank this her whole life.

If I wasn't low carb right now I would be running to the store for some.

i did this a lot in grad school, thanks to 2 guys from spain in our class who introduced it to us. it tastes better w/diet coke, for some reason.

but cream soda?! no.

[ohiowan]

There's an Italian cream soda that isn't the big red cream soda. It literally has cream in it. Was it like that, or bottled cream soda?
