Where have you gone Crystal soda?

One of my favorite memories of being a kid is when my dad used to make his big Italian hoagies for lunch on Saturdays. No hoagie was complete until there was a glass of Crystal Cream Soda next to it.

As I was making my menu for our annual Memorial Day Meat Party, I added cans of Crystal soda to my list. This being Scranton and all, I figured I would go to my local Gerrity's and pick up some cans, usually five for $1.00. Imagine my surprise when I learned Gerrity's no longer carries Crystal soda.

It was at one of the local beer distributors that I learned that Crystal was no longer being sold. A quick Google search came up with no website for Crystal soda, but the address of the headquarters, still located in Scranton.

So the question is - Where have you gone Crystal soda? No more parties with 50/50, Birchola, Draft Root Beer, Cherokee Red, or most importantly - RED CREAM SODA!!!!!!

You will be missed.
