The results are in on the Workplace Cream Soda Taste Test. 11 of us sampled 11 different sodas. Based on the number of ballots that the sodas appeared on and their highest ranking (one point for appearing on the ballot and an additional point for each #1 ranking), Briar’s was the run-away favorite followed by a tie for second between Dr. Brown’s and Stewart’s with Boylan’s in third. Looks like NJ/NY is the cream soda king amongst the brands we could get our hands on easily:
LIKED BEST:
Brand (No. of top 3 ballots; #1 rankings; No. of points; Highest rank)
