I was pretty excited to see something on the show that I could actually find at the 24hr store across the street on your show. Living in PEI Canada makes getting specialty ANYTHING (tea, soda, whatever) hard so kudos for having stewarts soda on your show!
I really like stewarts orange. I find it less offensive to my mouth and I find it has a way more complex flavor.
A good dreamcicle (AKA cremecicle where I come from) substitute is vanilla icecream blended with regular old south orange juice concentrate and a splash of vanilla. Mmm!

Wow. You NAILED it.
Exactly the feeling I get from that soda.
Like I mentioned in the show, most orange sodas give you one solid flavor and that's it. Even if it's delightful, it's still one flavor.
The stewart's gives you two or 3.
The cream on the backend is great. Lots of complexities. I really, really enjoy this soda.

You need to find/try Henry Weinhardt's Sodas. Their Orange Creme soda beats the pants of Stewarts (and I like Stewarts) ... and as much as I liek the Orange Creme soda, they have the best Vanilla Creme Soda on the market. Perfect balance of vanilla and sweetness that has a nice honey flavoured aftertaste. Perfect.

Buy Weinhard's Soda online: here (http://www.beveragesdirect.com/products/henryweinhards/). (I haven't seen them for sale outside the Pacific timezone, which is odd, because they are now brewed/bottled in Fort Worth, TX).

Take some video of you trying some stewarts?
It's good stuff

actually, now that I watched the episode, I most probably won't try stewarts. It sounds like a decent orange soda, but not what it claims it is, as far as creamsicle. Or it might be good to make a float with with french vanilla Ice cream.
Gotta say, great vid, audio, and editing quality this ep. Gets better every week!
