I grew up drinking this cream soda, is definitely one of my favorite. It’s much less sweet than those that made in US. But just feels like it tastes a bit different than before.

Unfortunately, it's not the Schweppes I imagined. In Brazil, Walmart has the same brand with that same flavor for much cheaper than on the app.
