I have not had a root beer float in years, but I prefer the hard ice cream to soft serve (which I grew up calling custard???). I think coffee ice cream would be scrumptious.

If anyone is a My Chemical Romance Fan, or even knows who they are, whic video is hysterical. It is a video made to look like they are singing NSync's "Bye, Bye, Bye"-- I saw it on my friends list and almost died laughing.

I've never had a Root Beer Float with soft serve, but my local food court has a Dairy Queen right next to an A&W, so I might have to try that out.

My parents used to call it custard too, Sophia.

Isn't custard technically different from soft-serve ice cream?

I have given up on my craving for sushi tonight since I have stuffing and a farm-grown tomato at home that I should be eating while both are still good. I wish they made frozen chicken Kiev that tastes likea rainbow roll, though.

Also, there is a cheesy mummy movie on SciFi featuring a very young Jack Davenport and what looks like killer packing tape.

But did we only have custard when I was little and somehow it morphed into soft-serve, or were we just calling it the wrong thing? Although some of the places were "custard stands". In fact I am pretty sure there was one called "Custard's Last Stand."

That I do not know.

To me, custard and soft-serve to two different animals. Dairy Queen is soft serve, but places like Sheridan's are specifically custard.

Doesn't custard have eggs?

I can see this happening. Packing tape is pernicious, and those little rolly things you use to apply it have very sharp edges. I have a lot of packing tape in a closet -- maybe I'll shove something large in front of the door tonight.

I think, technically, custard has egg in it, but my Dad called all soft serve custard.

Don't eat sushi on a Sunday!
