I get people from time to time who want a root beer float, only instead of ice cream in it, they want milk. I guess, technically, the appeal of a root beer float is the melted ice cream mixed with the soda, so a root beer and milk mixture simply removes the melting step. Still...that just ain't right.
I went over to the site that the picture came from. They had an ad with a baby drinking out of a 7-Up bottle. Wow. Puts the 1950's in a whole new light.
Way back in the late 50's my brother and I would just love a 7 up float. 7up and a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was soooooo goood. Kind of the same idea as in the ad but with ice cream.
Speaking of what we lived through, my mom said my formula was condensed milk and corn syrup. I think of all the nitrites and food coloring we were raised on...

Gah!
That was not a winner at the time.
Peanut butter and mustard sandwiches were good. White bread.
7-up in milk? eee.
I remember mayonnaise and sugar sandwiches. Open face. (or do i?) That's a lotta white.
Brown Cows. During the 70's, we'd sell them in take out paper cups for a $1 to thirsty golfers who'd come in from the course.
A small carton of chocolate milk with coke from the bar hose, over ice.
In the old old days, 7-Up was lithiated, slenderizing, and a hangover cure all in one

Root bear floats were great. So were Dr. Pepper floats.
Does anyone drink Kool-aid or Jello anymore?

Thankfully my daughter avoided all that stuff.

rcocean, Black NFL players still drink Kool-Aid. They mix grape Kool-Aid it w/ codeine cough syrup. The street name is Sizurp.
rh, sometimes I like saltine with peanut butter, dipped in A-1 Sauce.
Chick, was that lithiated 7 up like Alka Seltzer, or something?
