I am not a soda drinker, but a root beer float is an essential part of summer. But I'm very picky - must have good root beer in a can and cheap vanilla ice cream.

Though, I did have a blended root beer float drink at Warped and that seems to have satisfied my "it is hot and I need a root beer float" cravings.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My dad would take us all to the A&W after Wednesday night or Saturday night church. It was sorta' a thing. In 4th grade I had these white pants with rectangular patterns sewed all over them with red and white thread. One night after church I spilled part of a float on them. Later my teacher asked me about the stain, and I told her about the float. It was hardly embarrassing at all. But those were some weird pants.

Anyway, that's my biggest A&W memory.

In addition to the regular sized float, when we brought in my baby mug, they'd make a mini one in it.

I'd totally forgotten that.

I think I had one of those baby mugs. I wonder where that ended up?

After a yummy brunch (with cake) at Kat's this morning, Polgara and I went to visit Gracie. G was cranktastic when we got there, but with judicious application of dips and lifts, she giggled her pants off.

must have good root beer in a can

Why would you prefer it in a can? Glass wins!

Sure, if you can find glass bottled root beer, that is the best. I just hate using a two liter bottle. The taste is off.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Frozen custard, to me, is the vanilla and orange stuff at the shore.

Root beer floats yay, as long as they have an actual scoop of ice cream. The soft serve gives it a weird texture.

Also, why a can or a bottle? Soda fountain!

Just go to BevMo, Doll. They've got a huge stash of fancy root beers in bottles. I recommend Henry Weinhardts. Emmett likes Sparkys. JZ likes Virgil's.

Mmm, ice cream. Mmm, root beer floats.

My childhood ice cream memory is my mom, dad, and I going to the Beacon (somewhere in SC) and sharing a big banana split. My mom used to have me ask my dad so he'd be sure to say yes.
