Dew and ice-cream do not mix. How do people enjoy floats? Soda makes ice-cream taste like ass-cream.

It depends on the combination..

Some flavors work together, some don't

But the carbonation is what makes it taste bad. Rootbeer floats taste like the head on real beer.

a bit yea..

but the beer head, tastes bad because the foam is bitter..


Whereas for example coffee milk foam tastes generally good because it's often sweetened..

When I went to America, I discovered floats in Arizona I think it was. We were shocked at the mere idea. It's one of those things you wish people would dis-invent :P .

<3 I've tried them both and they's delicious. I usually don't like homemade floats because fizz and ice cream all over the counters and whatnot -- Imma bad chef/mixologist :))

No.

It was on the 4th of July, come to think. We were at a Denny's or something it was called and we had some kind of blueberry and strawberry pancake special with whipped cream. And however many litres a small Coke was xD . Fortunately, we didn't go to places like that more than twice or so xD . There were flags absolutely everywhere, but we were disappointed with how little fireworks there were.

Some people of my (former) acquaintance choose to mix Coke and milk.  Apparently it's really nice, although I have not tried it.

I can't mix ice cream and, say, Coke, as it gives me excessive wind.

You have to be at Disney or something for real fireworks.

Is it bad that I love Denny's? The food is so bad but it's like waffle house with better burgers.

Coca Cola and Vanilla Ice Cream is great. After Coke stopped selling Vanilla Coke in the UK a few years ago it was as close as I could get without spending a lot of money importing it (bearing in mind I was about 14 at the time).

But now Vanilla Coke is back, so I only really have Coke floats in American-style restaurants.

a bit yea..

The foam is meant to be bitter, if you get some proper East European Pilsner it actually tastes fantastic even though it's bitter. Pints out there are served half liquid half foam.

Not necessarily fast food like McDonalds, but on the lower end we have 5 Guys and TGI Fridays. Better places will mostly just have a really good choice of burgers (cooked rare), smoked BBQ (brisket, burnt ends etc.) or even just fried chicken. It's often more the theme of the restaurant than the actual food that would make me classify it as American, so things like Shakes and Floats on the drinks menu; these really aren't standard outside of ice cream parlours. Décor as well, although happily in recent years places seem to be moving away from the 50s diner theme.

Oh, and they will generally sell that ****ty "craft beer" instead of real ale. That said I can't complain when a place stocks some good bourbon (i.e. anything that isn't Jack Daniels or Jim Beam).

I love local craft beers from my area and surrounding states, a lot of places have some decent stuff. Not a big liquor fan myself though, I like a good straight shot of brown every now and again though. Also love 50's diner foods haha, but it gets old admittedly.

Hopefully the 5 Guys over there are decent. As long as theyre as good as here they should be great. But you know us americans, we have ****ty taste in food =P
