Remember Coke Floats????

ECBG · ‎01-08-2011

When I was a teenager, occasionally I could go to the little soda shop/restaurant that had amazing fried hamburgers and a little cup of wonderful potato salad. Their french fries were extremely delicious! The only other fries I had were at McDonalds.

I don't know where I got my first coke float, but I loved them!

When I was dating, the "thing" was a "cherry lemon 7 up" which I would often have after a movie date.

Did anyone else have the "cherry lemon 7up"?

Root beer floats, chocolate malts, cherry fizz. You name it.

we have a couple of old fashioned ice cream parlors at the beach that serve coke floats and other nostalgic ice cream treats. they make their sodas the old fashioned way....... mixing syrup and soda.with that chewy ice.

I come from a long line of root beer float lovers. Also chocolate ice cream sodas.

Yes, and going to A&W drive in for root beer floats. Times have changed, today I don't consume sodas or dairy. But I have fond memories of family treat times together.

My mother loved Coke floats. I liked cherry, lime Cokes. She took me to the drug store soda fountain every week after my piano lesson. Both drinks were made from pumps of syrup and mixed to order. Nothing came out of a premixed machine. It was our special secret.

@ECBG I have 3 of my grandsons for a couple of nights. I got ice cream so that they could make floats.

One had a Pepsi float, one had a root beer float, one had a milk shake.

I still get a Vanilla Coke when I go to Frisch's Big Boy.

We had an excellent corner diner that had saucy sloppy dressed cheeseburgers that were so good and unbeatable, along with hand cut fries and homemade shakes where you'd get a glass and the tall stainless canister the shake was mixed in. They had floats there too. We didn't eat out a lot so it was kind of a treat to go there.

I still make root beer floats here at home, pretty regularly....love!

@ECBG Sonics have great Cherry Limeade drinks. They are wildly popular in the summer. We used to send someone out from work at happy hour in the summer, sometimes he'd bring back 20 of them.

We love Coke floats and Root Beer floats. We make them occasionally.

What I really miss is root beer in those giant thick glass ice cold mugs! The root beer would freeze to the sides and the drink was so good and cold. The would come with a spoon sometimes to get the mushy frozen part.
