I’ve never heard that called a “French Soda”. And believe me, in my pre-coffee days (you know, ages when the parents control your caffeine intake) I consumed a LOT of Italian sodas, with and without cream. No one ever called them that!

P’raps it’s regional.

Anyways, I don’t control a master list of what drinks are allowed to have a tablespoon of half-and-half. If someone wants to put an inch of half-and-half in their iced green tea, I will not stop them, tho’ I will judge them silently for their strange tastebuds. It’s just using ginormous amounts that deny all subsequent tablespooners their tablespoon that offends.

Obviously. Didn’t you have some experience in the coffee shop industry?

By French Soda, we mean…Italian soda with half-and-half?

Okay, for the record, I do make myself poor man’s French Soda’s, but only because I am poor and I only use like a tablespoon of half-and-half. Also, it means I don’t get some crazy barrista’s idea of how much cream it needs, which probably saves the coffee shop money overall. So there.

Hee hee!

There’s no accounting for the spending or cheapskating habits of the wealthy. But that is a funny story!

It makes you wonder what kind of business ethics made this man able to purchase a Hummer H3.
