Now I thought the &#8220;sparkling&#8221; would add something sparkling, much like how bubbles help champaign sparkle and glitter helps Sparkling Barbie look more like a stripper, but it didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing different about this soda than the previous A&#038;W Cream soda is the &#8220;Vintage Bottle,&#8221; which if you take off the label or stick in a small brown paper bag, looks like a beer bottle.  <\/p>\n<p>This means that with the amber-colored A&#038;W Sparkling Vanilla Cream Soda and the &#8220;Vintage Bottle,&#8221; I can be a total poser at a party and pretend I&#8217;m cool with a &#8220;beer&#8221; in hand.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s much like when I was growing up and pretended apple juice was beer, bubble gum cigarettes were actual cigarettes, and my switchblade comb was an actual switchblade knife, which I used to try and recreate the fight\/dance off scene from the Michael Jackson video for <i>Beat It<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p><i>Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it<br \/>\nNo one wants to be defeated<br \/>\nShowin&#8217; how funky and strong is your fight<br \/>\nIt doesn&#8217;t matter who&#8217;s wrong or right<br \/>\nJust beat it, beat it<br \/>\nBeat it, beat it, beat it<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Maybe it&#8217;s better that I be a poser with my fake beer, because if I drank as many bottles of beer as I have with the delicious A&#038;W Sparkling Vanilla Cream Soda, I might end up passed out on my bathroom floor, lying in my own vomit, with a Sharpie mustache drawn on my face, and two arrows pointing to my mouth also drawn on my face with the words, &#8220;Stick it in the hole for a prize,&#8221; written on my chin.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, someone would probably take pictures of me in this position and post it all over the internet with the word &#8220;0wn3d!&#8221; on it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  A&#038;W Sparkling Vanilla Cream Soda<br \/>\n<b>Purchase Price:<\/b>  99 cents<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  4 out of 5<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Damn good.
