God honestly the best invention known to man.

I personally like to have bargs with Blue bell vanilla and maybe a sprig of mint leaf at the bottom like a mojito for flavor.

Don't know if this beats plain mustard on hotdogs tho..

I was always a bigger fan of the root beer freeze, but I am generally a supporter of the adding of vanilla ice cream to root beer (or cola - Pepsi floats and freezes are good, too).

I don't eat or drink either of those ingredients much anymore, but damn if a good rootbeer float ain't the motherfucking shit. I had a Guinness float a few months ago for the first time, it was just alright. I'll take the rootbeer. :tu

What's a root beer freeze? o.O

Nothing beats a good root beer float around Dusk in the Summertime. I also take part in grape soda floats occasionally, usually in the Winter months.

In typical San Antonio fashion, my family prefers the Big Red Float. :lol I am not a huge fan of Big Red (I know, sacrilege) so I prefer root beer.

Puro San Antonio.

I can't remember if I've had a big red float ever.

On a somewhat related note, Sonic sells something called a Vanilla Cream Coke that tastes like a Coke float, just sans the ice cream. Pretty good...though, I have no idea what they put in it, and it actually looks rather unappetizing after it's been sitting out.

I go through my stints where I have to have a root beer float every night. If I can step away for a while I can usually stop the craving....good stuff.

My work was serving Guinness Floats the other day. Definitely a weird little concoction.

What is the deal with Texans' love of Big Red?? Someone needs to explain that one to me.

Big Red and barbacoa were meant for each other it seems...

No to rootbeer floats.

How can anyone not like a rootbeer float? I don't think I have ever met anyone who didn't like them. I'll have to try it with mint though; never thought of that, but it sounds like it'd work pretty well.

Eh, I can live without rootbeer or any kind of "float"; I hate to ruin perfectly good vanilla ice cream by mixing into anything. I generally love the drinks at Sonic, but mixing ice cream into their sodas, limeades, and slushes is not appetizing at all.

And the Big Red thing is pretty regional. I was born and raised in west Texas and never even heard of that poison flavored Big Red stuff until I moved to SA 7 years ago.

I like rootbeer, but not with ice cream.

Give me a Coke float any day though. :D

I feel ya Mel...I think I was one of the few kids who grew up in South Texas who didn't like Big Red. I am also a big fan of rootbeer floats...I would use Barq's, IBC or A&W....don't use Mug...its too sweet.

It's better with Vernors. Those things are like drops of nectar from heaven.

I think I'm going to have to try a Maine Root Sarsaparilla (http://www.maineroot.com/products_sarsaparilla.php) float. I like it better than root beer - not as quite as sweet/cloying. But never made a float out of it - until today.

But I would never ruin a float with Blue Bell's fake "homemade" ice cream. Ice cream doesn't need 15 ingredients unless you're trying to hide something.

Coke Floats are for ingrates, retards and wierdos.

Any type of "Float" that doesnt involve root beer is a fucking prettender .

Bottom line.

Coke is good for Jack and Walker, and a few other alchoholic drinks.... Thats it.

Do you see anyone doing a root Beer and Jack? I dont fucking think so. It's just not fucking right. A coke float is for fucking wierdos... like eating frenchfries dipped in chocolate pudding or some shit instead of Ketchup like a normal person.

The only reason EVER to create a Coke float should only be when a chick is pregnant and has some really off the wall fucked up cravings.... and a coke float, imho, is ranked higher in the "fucked up" list then, say, chocolate icecream mixed with picklejuice and luisiana hotsauce.... Its just that fucking wrong.

tbh the only thing worse than a Coke float is screwing up whiskey by putting Coke in it. I can deal with wasting Jack like that, but any decent whiskey should never be ruined with Coke.

I don't disagree with you on much bb, but I grew up in San Antonio and can't stand Big Red. I'll never understand why people like something that tastes like cheap candy and overwhelms all the other tastes in your mouth. Especially with BBQ - the flavor of the meat is king. For me Big Red just ruins it - my drink of choice with good BBQ is unsweet iced tea.

(Besides almost anyplace that I can buy Big Red also sells glass bottled Mexican Coke, and if those are my choices Mexican Coke wins 100 times out of 100.)

I've never been a bourbon and coke fan. Prefer it with ginger ale, if I'm going to go with a drink like that.
