I'm almost 70, and I don't really know "what an egg cream is".
Not that I haven't heard the term, I just have never seen or
tasted one.

I'll admit I'm hopelessly behind the times...

Who isn’t almost 70? I for one am not going to have another 69th birthday.
So it has nothing to do with being behind the times, and if you hadn’t
visited a NYC soda fountain it is unlikely that you would have tasted one. An
egg cream is very much a New York City soda fountain creation of the
1880’s, and is rare these days. It is a beverage blend of milk, chocolate
syrup, and seltzer, or soda water. No eggs, no cream. As I said few folks
unfamiliar with the Five Boroughs of NYC, regardless of age would know what
an egg cream was.


And the really good ones are made with Fox's U-Bet chocolate syrup.
