Barq’s still makes French Vanilla (yellow) cream soda. I had some over the summer at a friends house in ATL. Barq’s sold out to Coca~Cola who kept the old traditional drink.



That's not yellow cream soda. That's French vanilla cream soday.

Read my last post. There were two different Barq's companies. One in Mississippi, and one in Louisiana. One sold the yellow, the other didn't.

It was discontinued before the internet was a thing. I can't even find a picture of it.

But that you posted isn't it.

I'll believe you, but the yellow was always the french vanilla. Maybe I missed something somewhere, but they rebranded as French Vanilla sometime in the 90s it seems.

Loved it growing up. There is a thread somewhere around 2010 on here where we had a hunt for it.

I grew up in Metairie as my grandparents owned a bowling alley that exclusively sold Barqs, 7-Up, and RC (Royal Crown) soda products. Everything was glass bottles in the old dispensing machines. I’m in my mid 50’s and don’t recall which exact Barq’s products they sold (either LA or MS)
