What if you don't like root beer? {A coke float afficionado, myself.) |
|
| |
My last project was at a site with an ice cream vending machine, so not completely beyond the bounds of possibility, I would guess. |
|
| |
Chocolate,strawberry,cherry ice cream,make this a option please. |
|
| |
Thanks for the suggestions!

I was about to say the same thing, mmmm lime spiders. |

Shoot the machine with a 12-gauge. This idea is not as much deserving of a fishbone as an airstrike. |

"Root Beer Float Vending Machine - this idea brought to you by the Dental Surgeons of America......" |
|
| |
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! Root Beer! Run and hiiide! |
|
| |
The only thing I don't like about this idea is that it's given me a root beer float craving, I have neither ice cream nor root beer in the house, and the grocery store is closed. |
|
| |
On second thoughts, given how much soda foams in the presence of soda, this is *really* half-baked. |
|
| |
How much faster can fast food get? Does anyone else
remember those microwavable burgers in your grocers
frozen food section? Who microwaves a hamburger
(besides Macdonalds)? I just couldn't trust a root beer
float out of a vending machine. |

Root beer brand is important...DAD'S is the bestm though A&W is ok too...no one appreciates rootbeer floats, so + for doing so. |
|
| |
What is root beer?. I have tried it and I didn't like it, but that was years ago. |

Try as I might, I cannot grasp the meaning of that statement. Curry, you'd probably like Vanilla Coke. Tastes like a Coke float without actual ice cream in it. |
|
| |
To quote a past camp director: "Kids, no more of that Vanilla Coke shit..."
no, do not try vanilla coke, it is bad and tastes nothing like vanilla, and only vaguly(sp?) like coke. |

Vanilla Pepsi is coming out soon - those copycats think they'll steal some of Vanilla Coke's thunder. I like Vanilla Coke - have one every few weeks, being not much of a soda drinker. Root Beer Floats, however, are perfection confections, and as you stated, igirl, brand choice is of paramount importance. Hires and Dads were the choice root beers in the 60's and 70's in my neck of the woods, as A&W was only available at Drive-Ups, complete with car-hops. |

Virgil's Micro-Brewed. Now there's some good root beer. |
|
| |
There would, of course, be a no sugar added version. |
|

For the last 2 years, I would normally drink only water and juice, but this one has me thinking...I might go get a float. It takes me back to my belching, anything-carbonated-is-good days. I just got a filling yesterday, to boot. |
|
| |
I'd like to know more about beer/ice cream combos myself. |

In the movie, Cannery Row, Nick Nolte orders a beer float (on a dare of sorts), the whole diner is quiet while she scoops the ice cream (tentatively) into a mug... everyone is quiet... he takes a sip, and says, "You make 'em real good". All returns to normal. |
|
| |
Incidentally, I HAVE tried this with a very, very dark beer called "Old Peculiar"... I make 'em real good. If you can get Old Peculiar (from the UK) I recommend it. |
