egg cream/italian soda

[Guest guest]

Here the italian soda is just soda water with flavor

syrup in it. An Italian egg cream is a flavored soda

with a milk/half and half type thing in it. That's in

both in my hometown in Kansas and where I am in Texas,

although the only coffee shops around here are

starbucks! I miss my Perk from home, although I can't

have a thing there now since they aren't carrying soy!
