Is There a Blue Soda Drink? [List of Cream Flavored Brands]

I’ve noticed that sodas are available in many different colors and wondered whether there’s a blue soda.

I did some research and here’s what I found.

Below, I’ll explain what blue soda is, what they taste like, and other interesting facts about blue sodas.

What flavor is big blue cream soda?

Cream sodas are a unique twist on a soda float – which is a few scoops of ice cream with soda poured on top.

As you may be aware, common soda floats are a Coke Float, and Root Beer float.

You can also get the same flavor as a cream soda by mixing soda water with vanilla ice cream.

But, the color is very different and normally cream sodas are colorless.

It was invented by accident in 1874 in Philadelphia as I explained in this, link: What Is Cream Soda? the article that goes into more detail about the origins of cream soda.

Information provided by the US Department of Agriculture shows that some brands of blue cream soda can have up to twice as much sugar and calories as cream soda.

Here’s a table that shows the difference:

As you can see some brands of blue cream soda have half the calories and half the sugar of cream soda.

However, this is one specific brand, and the amount of sugar will differ between brands.

The brands that make blue cream soda are:

• Frostie
• Dad’s
• Mighty Mouse
• Big Red

When looking at the ingredient list there is also a slight difference:

All of them have almost exactly the same ingredients except for Mighty Mouse which uses sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.

High fructose corn syrup is also used in Coca-Cola but surprisingly only in Coca-Cola consumed in the USA and Canada.

Other ingredients are almost the same including Sodium Benzoate and citric acid.

Owing to the fact that corn grows so well in the USA.

I explained more about the use of high fructose corn syrup in this, does Coke use corn syrup article.

Give it a read if you’re interested in the health effects and history of high fructose corn syrup.

For example, Fanta Shokata is blue and tastes citrus and elderberry.

Elderberry has a tropical fruit flavor.

The well-known brand Crush makes Crush blue, which is raspberry flavored.

So, far Frostie Blue Cream Soda isn’t certified gluten-free, even though none of the ingredients contain gluten.

The ingredients used in Frostie Blue Cream soda are:

• Carbonated Water
• High Fructose Corn Syrup
• Sodium Benzoate
• Citric Acid
• Artificial Flavor
• Blue 1

Most of the major soda brands are also considered gluten-free for example:

• Coca-Cola
• Pepsi
• Sprite
• Mountain Dew
• Fanta
• Pepper
• A&W Root Beer
• Barq’s
• Fresca
• Sunkist
• 7UP

It’s likely that smaller stores sell it here and there, but it’s very hit-and-miss and your best bet is to call ahead to see if they stock it.

Big Red also sells a range of other flavors such as:

• Big Peach – which tastes like soft chewy peach candy
• Big Pineapple – tastes like pineapple upside-down cake

There’s gum that’s also called Big Red and has a spicy cinnamon flavor.

But, they are made by different companies, and they don’t taste the same.

Therefore, if you’re trying to consume less sugar, or trying to cut down on calories Big Red is a better choice than Big Blue.

But, they also make a Big Red Zero which contains no sugar and no calories.
