Having recently celebrated ice cream soda day, I wasn’t really up for a root beer float even with leftover root beer and ice cream at my disposal. To be honest, I don’t really like soda/pop hence think floats are kind of a waste of ice cream. Maybe that’s what A&W was thinking when they started selling bottled ice cream floats. Pushing it a little. Not really a float anymore is it? The Great Root Bear probably didn’t have much of a say in making bottled floats. In fact, I wonder how much they ever listened to his opinion. They keep him around because the kids love bears and that jingle but we can’t even begin to imagine the agony of hearing ba-dum-dah-dum everywhere you walk.
