I too think many people are referring to Vernor's when mentioning cream
soda, although people from the area know it is gingerale. A former coworker
from Jamaica, the land of ginger beer, pointed out to me that once Vernor's
was taken over by Coke, it lost some of the ginger spark.  I also agree
that some people may be thinking of the Faygo cream soda.  That too is
another winner. (It's a sorry state of affairs when my first posting to
this listserv is regarding food.)
