Reply to comment by jdward01 in TIL that Barq's Root Beer was first created by Edward Barq in Biloxi, Miss, in 1897. In 1934, Barq and a former employee, who moved to New Orleans, agreed to each distribute their own version of the root beer, with the New Orleans version having a red label and the Biloxi version having a blue one. by jdward01

At my local 5 guys there is a pink Barqs and its cream soda.

Growing up (in south MS) they offered Red Crème Soda (pink label) and Vanilla Crème Soda (gold label) versions. They were sweet as all get out, but as a kid I loved them.
