Bottled Goodness

I remember in my youth, drinking A&W Root Beer Floats like they were going out of style. Now, as I approach my 30th birthday, they’ve concocted “A&W Floats” A&W Root Beer and ice cream IN A BOTTLE! This is so awesome. To me, it tastes pretty close to the real thing, it just looks, well, melted. I’ve seen comments saying it was too sweet, or that it tasted like sweet, flat root beer and melted ice cream. My solution: Put the bottle in the freezer, for 20-30 minutes, gives it a good chill, which is always how root beer floats tasted best anyways.

Oh, and root beer floats were never quite right unless it was made with A&W, period. Kudos for re-introducing a classic concoction. As of today, I’ve only found them at 7-Eleven in single bottles, they retail for $1.79 and supposedly 4-packs will retail for $5.99. Its worth it for the occasional treat. Or, in my case, the daily treat.

They’ve also come out with Sunkist Orange Floats, which are damn tasty themselves.
