skydivermom 0 #1 June 23, 2006 Okay, My husband and I have disagreed (imagine that) on which goes in first, the ice cream or the soda. Also, I'm just plain old fashion. I love vanilla ice cream and Coke, but I've heard some pretty strange combos. My friend likes chocolate ice cream and root beer Let's see who can come up with the most unusual float combo. I know y'all will do me proud! BTW, No BEER!! That's just gross.Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swedishcelt 0 #3 June 23, 2006 I thought a float was classically made with rootbeer and vanilla ice cream. You put in the ice cream then side pour in the soda allowing the ice cream to float to the top. At least that is how I was taught in NWPA. Yum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waltappel 1 #9 June 23, 2006 QuoteNO. When you put the ice cream in first it makes all that stupid foam. Walt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kenz 0 #12 June 23, 2006 usually i put the ice cream in first then the soda - and usually i use root beer as well but have often substituted coke and theyre still delicious :) btw - lisamarie - your new avatar is beautiful"life does throw curveballs sometimes but it doesn't mean we shouldn't still swing for the homerun" ~ me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydivermom 0 #19 June 23, 2006 Mom always put the ice cream in first, so naturally that's the way I do it. I did not know about side pouring the soda. That's interesting. Man, what have I done, now I'm gonna have to have a float tonight.

[yawn] Coming from a nun who doesn't know jack about making an ice cream float, I have a hard time feeling insulted. edited to add: You probably have some really stupid way of eating spaghetti too, don't you?

yamtx73 0 #23 June 23, 2006 Everywhere I've seen them make a float it was that way too... and yes, they did side pour the rootbeer to cut down on the foam... but you know how rootbeer is... you still wind up with a lot of foam...
