    IMHO, the only way to eat icecream is with a spoon. :) /ravi

    No reason you can't have a root beer float with a spoon. :-\ How about an ice-cream sandwich? Ice cream between 2 homemade chocolate chips cookies. :-D

      Interesting - I had never considered it before. Ice cream in a glass of soda was called an ice cream soda. Yet, there was, indeed, an item specifically called a root-beer-float. Like any rational person, in times of great personal trauma, I turned to Wikipedia. Looking up Root Beer Float I ended up on the Ice Cream Soda page. So, as a brad is a nail, and a palomino is a horse, so to we have our confusion assuaged.

        For those who don't know, a "float" is a scoop or more of ice cream (usually vanilla), in a glass, then some flavored soda (aka "pop" ...think Coke but don't stop there) is poured over it. A float, aka an ice cream float, was one of my favorite childhood summertime treats. Last night we topped all I've ever had before. We started with a supreme ice cream[^], one that is so good a writer for the New York Times said it was worth the trip to Cincinnati. That's like a Parisian saying some food in Dover was worth the trip in January. One of my favorite flavors for the soda is something called "root beer". [^] Normal root beer is basically a tea made from bark and roots of trees. Well...my favorite daughter favorite boyfriend brought over some Not Your Father's Root Beer...[^] Yum!

        Was that after the Not Your Father's Root Beer, or did they have that status before and now it's "my favorite daughter favorite fiancee?" And, if that's your daughter's favorite bf, how many does she have??? :~ Marc

                    And that's exactly how that stuff tastes. Only during survival training I ever had to think about the nutritious value of tree bark or roots.

                    This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

                      We made ours with Cream Soda[^] instead of root beer and it was called an "Ice Cream Soda". I remember my grand parents had anodized aluminum glasses that were only used for that (eaten outside around the pool)

                          Now you've gotten me thinking about all the things I loved as a kid. And have been severely disappointed in as an adult. Topping the list: Moxie. Tastes like cigarettes, now. Not smoking them...eating them. But even Root Beer is just not making it anymore after a sip or two. Cream soda? Nope. Can't drink it anymore. And don't get me started on Birch Beer.

                          We won't sit down. We won't shut up. We won't go quietly away. YouTube and My Mu[sic], Films and Windows Programs, etc.

                                Don't even get me started on Graeters... I might have to make the extremely strenuous 5 minute walk there tonight... :laugh: As far as floats go, vanilla ice cream with orange soda is pretty darn good. Also, I did Dr. Pepper with chocolate ice cream once, which was quite tasty.

                                Picked up 3 pints for under $15 last weekend. Would have done 4 but when I did that last year I ended up in the hospital for "gas" (Cardiologist has a different opinion, the punk kid!). My hospital room was ground level. Across the way, the sign on a Graeter's shop mocked me for 4 days.

                                    He's been my favorite of her boyfriends since the beginning. He does all the right things, including telling her that if he is going to propose I (her favorite father), will know first. Was afraid to let her know how much we like him because then she might have dropped him. :) If she did now, she might need to find herself some new parents.

                                      or Kahlua or Galliano or Tuaca. The difference is with a liqueur its more like a sundae, unless you're looking for a real good hangover.

                                        One of my favorite flavors for the soda is something called "root beer". [^] Normal root beer is basically a tea made from bark and roots of trees.

                                        And that's exactly how that stuff tastes. Only during survival training I ever had to think about the nutritious value of tree bark or roots.

                                        The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
                                        This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.
                                        "I don't know, extraterrestrial?" "You mean like from space?" "No, from Canada." If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

                                        But the flavor is better than lima beans.
