Title: Has anyone heard of a Coke Float?
Post by: Darth Loo-knee on 30 September 2011, 14:23:21
Get a glass, put a scoop full of vanilla ice cream in it, then gently pour Pepsi Max over the top... Get a straw then enjoy ;)

I had never heard of them until I met Mrs. Loo-knee.... Could you know them by another name?

Yeah, I thought they were an old (i.e. 1960s) thing! Although you still find them in the classic American Diners in the US.. (at least on the west coast)

In Glasgow area we called them an Ice Cream float. Same thing basically, but it was cream soda, red cola, irn bru or whatever other fizzy drink you fancied in a tall glass with 2 scoops of proper Glasgow ice cream dropped in. It won't work with that Mr Whippy pish you get from some ice cream vans.

Daz, I had you down as a man of the world and you've never had an ice cream float ??

Have you ever tried deep fried Mars Bar or Cream Egg ?
