For my ninth birthday party, my parents let my friends and me set up a four-square court in the dining room (we used masking tape to mark off the squares). They also honored my request that instead of cake, we have large root beer floats, served in tall glasses with lots of vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. To this day, I have a very soft spot in my heart for the root beer float. I am something of a purist, believing that only the best root beer and hard scooped ice cream should be used (none of that soft serve stuff for this particular concoction). This is why I am feeling very wary of the new flavor of soda that A&W has recently released. They call it "a creamy blend of rich A&W and ice cream flavor" and claim that is replicates the taste of a root beer float without the work or hassle of the traditional version.
I think I prefer my root beer float to come with a bit of work and hassle and don't really think that this all-in-one version would satisfy my occasional float craving. What do you think? Would this tempt you?
