We always scooped the ice cream first, then poured the root beer over the top.
Putting the ice cream in last let's you put in more root beer. I keep running out of root beer if I put it in last lol.
Ice cream first creates too much foam. You have to keep topping it off after you either eat the foam or let it go down on its own. Takes too long to get all of the root beer into the glass. When it comes to a root beer float, I am not a patient man, lol.
@@michaelcummings2590 I just got back from a Bible study where we had root ear floats. I think we all out the ice cream in first. I rather enjoy the foam.
I love everything about them, so it’s never bothered me adding more ice cream or more soda as the need presents itself.
you gotta add the ice cream first so the root beer almost crystalizes the ice cream. That the strat
As an American watching this on independence day it warms my heart seeing you enjoy rootbeer floats
Try a Dr Pepper float too😉‼️
Same here. Glad to see that people from other countries enjoy one of my favorite desserts. My favorite part of a root beer float is the form on top, it’s like root beer flavored whipped cream.

Every Fourth that's what we do. After cook out before firewoks! 🇺🇸
dads reaction to the root beer float was great. everyone else is talking and hes just shoveling it LOL
i was crying lol
I noticed that too. Lol
Lol
The love the innocence of this family.
How can you live in this world and be so untouched by it.
As a 38 year old American, I have never met anyone who pours the root beer in first. Everyone I know, and myself, have always put the ice cream in first. I think it also helps reduce the bubbles and you get more ice cream in there. I believe that happened with the boy. He was basically eating air bubbles because he stirred it so much.
I do !
Ice cream last
Ice cream first because then you get a slight crust on the ice cream.
I remember they didn't come back to the car to get our tray and my dad drove off with it still attached to the window. That's how we got out root beer mugs.
I’m not sure if anyone said this, but in the US, ginger ale is very popular. The first ginger ale (a dark version) was actually founded in Ireland. However ginger ale (light version founded in Canada) was what you drank when sick, when out to dinner as kids with your parents (if “kiddy cocktails” weren’t available), as well as something mom hid for special occasions. I always found it was a reward (even when sick). Though my mom was also the one who didn’t buy “pop” and got salt-free potato chips. Lame.
You can add the ice cream to orange soda as well. "Creamsicle" flavor.
Also known as an "orange moose" at some Alaska diners
Actually orange soda and milk is the best.
Grape soda and ice cream is a purple cow
Ohhh yea that’s really good. Forgot about that one
Yeah I think the best floats are root beer, cream soda, orange soda, and grape soda
Our kids' medicine is usually flavored with mixed berry, cherry, bubblegum or cherry with a side of goat dung and a kick in the face. So we drink root beer for fun.
I always thought Dr. Pepper was flavored with cherry, but it has 23 flavors in it. The 23 flavors are cola, cherry, licorice, amaretto, almond, vanilla, blackberry, apricot, blackberry, caramel, pepper, anise, sarsaparilla, ginger, molasses, lemon, plum, orange, nutmeg, cardamon, all spice, coriander juniper, birch and prickly ash.
Lord, that sounds like a potion 😂 but that's interesting to know actually
Good to see a down to earth family enjoying their time together.
Yes. More wholesome functioning families need to be seen in media. Good show. 👍
It's definitely a facade.
@@drake.707 yes, as soon as the video stops rolling they all start bickering amongst themselves lmao. what a joke post.
Maaaaaannn the Root Beer floats reaction was so wholesome
You have to understand. In the USA, at the age of 5 (I am now 60) my Dad would come home after going to the A and W Rootbear Drive In Diner with a GALLON of FRESHLY MADE Root Beer from the actual barrel. It's something I have had my whole life, so for me, and where I came from, it was normal but also a treat to get FRESH made Root Beer from A and W.
Growing up in the early 60's Mom and Dad would treat us to floats at the local A&W Root beer stand. The girls would come out on roller skates bringing us our floats on trays that would attach to our car window where Dad would hand them out to us inside the car. Such great memories! Oh, and always put the ice cream in first!
A & W started off with the beverage first, then began selling burgers.
Medicine tastes like root beer because in the 1800s, sassafras was used to mask the taste of the medicine. And root beer (both the soft drink and the alcoholic) was made from sassafras roots (now it's artificial).
The herbal flavor of rootbeer gets identified by many outside the country as a medicine or toothpaste flavor because it is similar to the flavorings used there for those things. For the reverse the common mint syrup flavor in Europe for desserts and sodas is the same we use to flavor medicines and dental products in the US. So in the end it's all the same really, what we think of the flavors depends on the random flavoring decisions made by marketers and chemists.
And Coke started off with Cocaine.😁
@@saiyongdawn7756 Yes, it did.
@@Rebekahdavignon 😂🤧
A&W Canada is a Canadian company separated from the American one they came out with the mascot a&w root bear
When I was growing up, the A & W restaurant used to bring the food out on a tray that rested on the driver side window of our car. They had three different sized drinks and hamburgers. The largest was the Papa bear meal, the medium was the mama bear meal, the smallest was the baby bear meal. The root beer was always served in a glass mug. Barq's root beer is ok, but the root beer to try is Sprecher's root beer. It is made with honey and it is produced in my home state of Wisconsin. Sprecher's makes all of their sodas with honey and they also brew beer, the Special Amber is a popular choice.
I love Sprechers Root Beer!
The Old American, again; Root Beer floats can also be made putting the Ice-cream in first, sometimes the spaces in the ice-cream can give you a little Root Beer crust on the edges of the spaces in the ice-cream.
That iciness crust is the greatest dessert experience!
This American was today-years-old when he discovered that Dr. Pepper was a prune-flavored drink instead of cherry. (I’ve never tried a prune that I know of.)
I don’t have a lot of extra cash right now since I’m still looking for my next job, but if I did I would send you guys Cheerwine. It’s a regional soft drink from The Carolinas that is SPECTACULAR!
Thank goodness you guys added the ice cream to the root beer! When you guys were disappointed in the taste of the root beer by itself, I was here yelling at the screen, “ADD VANILLA ICE CREAM! ADD VANILLA ICE CREAM!” 😂 I’m so glad you did and that you enjoyed it!
I don’t think Dr Pepper is. It has 23 different flavors - ok. There is prune listed as one of the flavors but I would never describe it as a prune drink.
Amaretto, almond, blackberry, black licorice, carrot, clove, cherry, caramel, Cola, ginger, juniper, lemon, molasses, nutmeg, orange, prune, plum, pepper, root beer, rum, raspberry, tomato, and vanilla
It’s funny that they described the Root Beer tasted like medicine, cause that’s what it was initially designed to be.
It taste like toothpaste
@@peaceface8831 What kind of toothpaste have you been using?
@@lrkcm373 mint

The dad's reaction after trying the rootbeer float was priceless....he could hardly talk much....funny!!
I've only seen a few of your videos, but the family togetherness really makes me smile.
I cant understand how you dont have more subscribers. You should have at least 3 mil by now.
"How can something we didn't like..." "turn into the best thing ever" haha best part.
The worst thing you can do is drink a 12 once can of 12 teaspoons of sugar
@@JR-playlists Back down it's just for fun.
@@JR-playlists lol history has actually proved the worst thing you can do is plenty more than sugar in a soda can. There is a reason Coke doesn't use one of their original ingredients anymore.
@@JR-playlists you must be a blast at parties.
@@bassnazi4713 What are you talking about? Weight loss was easy by the 10th can of coca-cola. How can that be unhealthy?
A&W , the old style, are hard to find. You'd drive under the canopy, park, roll your window halfway down. The waitress would come out and take your order. Then they would put the tray on the rolled-down window. Frosty mug root beer and hot dogs! A summer treat when I was a kid
You are so right! Most A&W restaurants are either drive thrus or you go in. The only one that I know is like the old style is between Racine and Milwaukee.
Hot dogs??!? A&W "Mama burger" everytime!
I miss the old days of A&W!
And the A&W root beer was made on-site at the restaurant. Memories…
@@armntic LOVE me some momma burger :)
I ❤ how you do things as a family. A lost art in America. Takes me back to what family values are all about. Keep up the great work. Every aspect is pure awesomeness. Thanks. A side note, sassafras oil was historically used as a medicinal flavoring in Britain, its colonies, and Europe. Thus, the medicine flavor most non Americans associate with the flavor. Cream soda was originally made at soda fountains using cream, vanilla, sugar, and carbonation.
American here. So sorry to hear about you and your family. 😢
Float-wise, I would recommend the following (the names are the ones I made up, so there is nothing 'official' here): 1) a "Cream Victoria", being a float made with a quality cream soda and a scoop of good vanilla ice-cream. 2) an "Orange Squared", being an orange soda with a scoop of orange sherbert on top. Both floats are best prepared in large glasses that have been chilled in a kitchen freezer (or picnic cooler) for five-to-ten minutes.
"Liquid Creamsicle". good orange soda of your choice with vanilla ice cream
I've watched a fair amount of these 'foreigners react to American stuff' videos, and there is a repeating pattern when it comes to root beer. If it's just one person, or a duo, trying it, they probably won't like it. In a group, however, most won't, but at least one person will be like 'wow! Where has this been all my life?'
Never fails. Root beer! If you're not American, there's an approximately 25% chance you might love it!
Root beer is a distinctively American taste. I find that people who weren't raised here just don't appreciate the flavor.
@Skye Puppy Not true at all my guy, I'm Colombian and a Mormon missionary introduced my family to rootbeer some 20 years ago and I absolutely love it.
You can find A&W and IBC rootbeer in many local supermarkets too. It's just everybody has different tastes.
@@rickmont1613 Yes, you had that American connection. Glad you love root beer! I was generalizing. :)
@@skyepuppy7763 hope you enjoy chocolate! You have to have a Mayan connection to enjoy it! Stupid way of thinking my guy, people just dont know about rootbeer as much outside the US but just because it’s a US drink doesn’t make it exclusive to your tastebuds.
@@rickmont1613 That wasn't my point. I called it an American taste, because it's a product that doesn't seem to be readily available outside of America, so people outside the States don't get the opportunity to grow up loving it. You had an American who introduced it to you, and that's wonderful. It's been my experience that, when I offer a variety of flavors to people who grew up outside of America (primarily Mexico, since I live in Southern California), that 99% of them want anything besides the root beer.
And Happy World Chocolate Day, a day late!
Dr pepper is 23 flavors in one. Originally used as medicine.
And so was Coca Cola when it had Cocaine in it.
@@armybeef68 Dr Pepper was actually a concaine based cough syrup... back in the 1800's. Original Coca Cola was cocaine based as well.....
And originally from TEXAS!!!
Yep we got it hot when we had a bad cough.
@@armybeef68 you think people are bad when they haven't had their coffee
Fun fact: There is so much acid in RC that they have to put it in specially built cans because the cola will eat right through the can otherwise. Yeah, it's not the healthiest for you but that's why it's so addictive 😂. RC Cola is actually its own company, and they DO make what's called Diet Rite and it's their diet soda. Not sure if it has specially built cans or not though
I'm 70 and my grandma always made her own root beer and i just didn't like it but everyone else loved it. I remember it had yeast in it, was very strong and very bubbly
It sounds like her recipe sprang from the old days when root beer was considered medicinal. Don't think I would have liked it either.
Many soda's started off as "medicines" in the US and were sold out of pharmacies.
mhm, the "up" part of 7-Up was due to Lithium, Coca-Cola had Cocaine and soda like Pepsi got their name from being sold as a digestive aids, (the root word being the same as Peptic or Pepsin, Definition: relating to digestion, especially that in which pepsin is concerned.)
@@SentientPickle just to find out it was only due to the carbonation in the drink. The syrup just got people buzzed.
That's how sodas actually started, and were medicines. Coca Cola is called such because it originally contained cocaine within it. Pepsi contained Pepsin.
French wine coca (basically the original coca cola) contained cocaine and alcohol and John Pemberton basically made it to help him with his morphine addiction
Yep and they used ingredients that were made illegal over the years to take with out a prescription such as sassafras root that was used in root beer until the 60s, its now artificial sassafras root oil flavor.
Watching you guys enjoy a root beer float for the first time seriously made my night! I showed it to my two kids and they thought it was just incredible as well! They were on the edge of their seat hoping you all would like it! As if, if you did not like it, it was a personal attack on them!
NOW…. If you guys REALLY want to get wild…. A&W Cream Soda floats…. It will change your life.
Personal suggestion. With either cream soda or regular A&W root beer, stir it up with a spoon until it turns into a milkshake like consistency. Add more cream soda, rootbeer or ice cream as needed and keep stirring! Something about the texture of the hand spun milkshake and the once cream mixed with cream soda along with the fizz…. Perfection! Enjoy!
I can see restaurants all over New Zealand having Root Beer Floats added to their menus
@Mark Williams never tried that before but will keep in mind
My family would go out for root beer floats but I would have a 7Up float...sooo good! The Cream soda floats were grest, too!
Gotta get Vernor's Ginger Ale and ice cream or also know as a Boston cooler. Vernor's alone has a far different taste than most Ginger Ale's and is worth trying on its own if you've never had it. It's a Michigan thing.
Oh gag me with a spoon! Root Beer tastes like fly spray should!
Cute dog, beautiful wife, awesome kids! Great video guys!
And Great Dad! We can't forget the Dad!
We were a root beer family growing up, we drank all varieties; Barq's, Mug, A&W. But for our annual family picnic (family reunion at a park) we'd always get a keg of Dad's rootbeer and it was a hit since there were a lot of kids in the family. Also, I had no idea Canada Dry had a blackberry flavor, I've never seen it in stores... but now I want to try it myself.
Sam's club has it now, it's seasonal along with Cranberry, which I highly recommend.
Canada dry tastes like vomit
I live in NW Iowa. In my town we had a Dad's diner until the early 90s. Best little root beer diner ever. Don't get me wrong, A&W was awesome too. Drive in, order in the speaker, they roller skate your food to you. Great times.❤
Dad's root beer is horrible.
@@13ranzz there's no such thing as horrible root beer
Root beer floats are a staple all across the US, no matter what part you’re from. It’s like one of the few things that’s loved across the country. It’s a perfect summer snack
A&W actually started as a Root Beer stand that later started serving fast food
RootBeer was actually a tea at first
I remember going to the A&W as a kid with my dad in Memphis Tennessee. Mid 80's... They would hang the trays on your window.
They also use soft serve which is amazingly good.
@paul Provenzano Yeah that's what I was talking about. Great times.
@paul Provenzano But, but, but.... classic A&W hot apple pies are AMAZING!
Unfortunately, I think the A&Ws back in Canada are a lot better than the ones here in the US.
If you ever get the chance, try IBC Root beer in the glass bottles. My absolute favorite root beet ever, other than home made that you would get at Renaissance Fairs and Reenactments and things like that.
and their cream soda is THE BEST
@@camillep3631 I've actually never been a big fan of cream soda, but it is the best as far as cream sodas go
Couple comments:
1. Root beer is DEFINITELY a divisive drink. Most people seem to either love it, or despise it. This is made even stranger by
2. Different brands of root beer taste VASTLY different. There are a few major brands, and the differences are even greater than coke vs. pepsi. Dad's Old fashioned, Mug, A&W, and Barq's are the big ones around here. My personal favorites are Barq's for drinking (I no longer get it because it is ALSO the only major root beer brand with caffeine, and I get headaches from NOT having caffeine once I start...) and A&W for root beer floats, probably unsurprising since that was the FOCUS of A&W to begin with,
3. Root beer was originally MADE with sassafras root which is part of the sarsaparilla family. Then when it was found that when taken in HUGE doses the Safrole in those roots was causing liver cancer in rats it was banned for use in food products. Instead we basically artificially flavor it to try to come close to that flavor. Later studies were unable to find links between Safrole and cancer in HUMANS, and other products that contain it (such as nutmeg, cinnamon, and black pepper) were never banned in the first place, so it was probably never a real problem, but root beer had already shifted to other flavorings so the damage was done.
I had my first A&W served root beer float in a frosted mug that they delivered to us in our cars along with our food. That's how their root beer became so famous here in the U.S., and then they started offering their root beer in our grocery stores. I like to stir the ice cream and root beer until it all freezes and you eat root beer/ice cream crystals. Yummy!!
Me too! We must be about the same age. Going out to dinner was too expensive growing up so my dad took us to A&W drive up. 4 kids, we ordered root beer floats served in glass mugs. No a/c in the cars back then, but it was heaven❤️❤️❤️ what a great memory
I grew up then too! You had to leave your window up a few inches, so they could put the tray on it. So many good memories. The local A&W took that down in the 90's. But I still remember it. And the phones you ordered from in the booth. It isn't the same now, but the food is a still good at my hometown A&W. 😋
The A & W root beer is better in the A & W restaurants than the A & W root beer in the can.
Nothing in a can can match the incredibly delicious flavor of an A&W served fresh in an icy-cold mug in the old-fashioned drive-in (not drive through.) They bring it to your parked can on an aluminum tray that hangs from the open car window. Then they come back and take the tray away (and the mugs and paper trash) when you're done with your root beer, burger, and fries. Sometimes you just cannot improve on perfection.
I always has a baby burger, my mom had the mana burger and my dad and brothers had the papa burger and of course fries all around. I remember their fries were wonderful
I love how dad was so honed in on the float everyone else was just left to fend for themselves. That’s when you know it’s good!
For your son~ try the orange soda with vanilla ice cream in frozen mug. It’s like a creamsicle. (Frozen iccecream in orange popsicle)
Sam was on that Root Beer Float like a Honey Badger! He was absolutely speechless!
“Royal Crown Cola” is fairly regional here in the states and is always referred to as simply “RC”.
I didn't even know it was called Royal Crown Cola I always called RC.
It can be eaten with a Moon Pie.
They only sell it in bars were im from
You are supposed to drink RC cola? I thought you were supposed to tar and feather it before throwing it into the boston harbor.
Me and my RC
Me and my RC
Whats good enough for other folks
Ain't good enough for me.
Me and my RC
My father was addicted to root beer floats and preferred Dad's Old Fashioned root beer.
Its was very smooth and favorful.
I do love dad's rootbeer the best if you can find it. Very smooth
Yes!!! Great memories.
Same...I grew up having root beer floats with Dads rootbeer and its the BEST!
I like floats made with Not Your Father's root beer. (You probably shouldn't let the kids try it, though. It's alcoholic.)
The Sarsaparilla and Root Beer are both made using Sassafras root. Try Old Dutch Birch Beer. Similar in taste but lighter. Also Dr. Brown’s sodas are high quality soft drinks. One that’s good but hard to find is Cheerwine. No wine but cherry soda.
The main flavor notes for Root Beer are usually wintergreen, vanilla, and anise. However, each company has its own recipe.
It's interesting how that is the usual flavor for kids medicine in New Zealand.
In America, kids' medicine is usually cherry or bubblegum flavor. Though we do also have grape flavored as well, such as Dimetap cough syrup.
Dr. Pepper has a cherry flavor as well as plum. In fact the reason it has a number 23 on the can is because it has 23 main flavors and plum and cherry are both one of them. So to say you tasted cherry in the Dr. Pepper is actually correct. If you look it up you can find the other flavors as well. 🥰
Medicine in US is usually fruit or mentol. Rootbeer makes us think almost immediately of icecream....they are a pair like our peanut butter and jelly (which most countries also dont like)🤣🤣🤣
In many countries, the term "Jelly" is what we Americans call "Jello". They would call it "peanut butter and jam". It makes me wonder how many people in the world are mixing peanut butter and gelatin and wondering WTF is wrong with us. XD
Root beer tastes like terrible bubblegum
@@AndySaputo in America jelly has no fruit or seeds in it "made from juice essentially". jam is made with the whole berry possibly with or without seeds. Have a great day wherever you are 😁.
@@trentgay3437 I'm in the US too! I was just explaining to other Americans who may not know.😊
@@AndySaputo well most Americans are not as thoughtful as you are. you fooled me lol.
One of the students I have hosted had never had a root beer float before. He was totally hooked. He had to buy expensive root beer in Switzerland to make them for his family. Mug is best.
Love your family vibe. Root beer is definitely an acquired taste lol. Root Beer floats are amazing!
Where is your ice!
Other natural flavors normally means sugar.
Not the same without Ice
its not all the sugar that makes you laugh like that. Its all the love. please keep making these.
I’m Native American, my tribe is Navajo. I have never ever had root beer float. I went to a youth activity at a church and that’s when I tried root beer float for the very first time. I really like it and all this time I’ve been drinking A&W root beer by it self. My favorite is A&W root beer probably because of the fast food restaurant in town in Idaho. I don’t believed it was sold in grocery stores at the time. My parents would buy it by the gallon at A&W restaurant. It would be gone in no time when they brought it home. This was in the state of Idaho.
Interesting?
We had an A&W restaurant here in Maryland too. Loved getting root beer floats there as a kid.
Nice to hear you like it and thumbs up on your awesome Navajo heritage.🥰
A&W or bust.
I don't like A&W root beer from the can. But if my parents bought it from the restaurant yeah it would be gone.
I was sitting through the entire thing waiting to see your attitude once you mixed in the ice cream. (you did not disappoint) Well done and I am happy that you enjoyed it. 😁
Ice cream goes well with every other sweet thing. It plays nice better than any treat.
This family has such a wonderful time together!
They love to laugh together! Such a great family!
They give off such happy positive vibes !!!
Heads up on the Barq's, Their motto is Barq's has Bite. It's the strongest of rootbeers.
i thought the bite was just because it has caffeine in it? but yeah, that is one of my favorites for sure. G33K B33R is good too if you love root beer and need more caffeine.
it's not 'bite'..it's just nastiness.. never cared for it.
I haven’t had it in a long time but as I recall, regular Barqs has caffeine whereas Diet Barqs does not. Strange…
And 100 grams of sugar per serving 😬
❤ root beer.
Great video. But as someone from the states commenting here. …Always, Always, Always ice cream first. The ice cream freezes the root beer on top and makes it crunchy. Trust me, it’s delicious.
Sarsaparilla is the "Grandfather of Root Beer". It was the Root Beer of the ol' West and you can still get it in some of the ol' Western towns like Virginia City, Nevada.
Drink Canada Dry ! ! ! 🤠
I love rootbeer floats with homemade vanilla ice cream! Try orange soda and vanilla ice cream!
facts and capri sun
Orange soda float = Dreamcicle
Can't take my eyes off the dog. He is chillin
Now I can't now. He just couldn't be bothered. He knows how to relax.
Hes a good boy.
Just came across this video. Great video! I would suggest having water when you try different foods/drinks. The residue of the prior food/drink can effect the flavor of the next item you eat/drink.
My recommendation, because it is getting colder here in the U.S., hot Dr. Pepper.
Needed: Dr. Pepper and lemons.
Put Dr. Pepper in a sauce pan and warm it up. In a mug, put a circular slice of lemon. Pour hot Dr. Pepper in to the mug and enjoy a hot, lemony, Dr. Pepper.
Ice cream first, then pour over the root beer. Sundays were ice cream float nights at my grandparents house when I was growing up. Any soda, any ice cream - everyone came up with their own combinations. Great childhood memory.
That sounds like a tasty fun old time !!!!
Definitely ice cream first then the root beer or other soda pop
Respectfully disagree. beverage first ice cream second.
I used combinations thanks to Laverne
Yes always ice cream first. It helps stop all the foam.
Loved seeing you guys enjoying the root beer float. Yeah, they are good.
Put the ice cream first you get a nice foamy head
@@joshbrown8299 that way promotes TOO MUCH foam. Do like you did, except I would pour half of the soda first, then the ice cream ( use more ice cream),
and then pour the remaining soda slowly. Enjoy.
Coke floats are good too
@@katherinemurray8841 My mother used to call vanilla ice cream with Coke or root beer a "brown cow" and vanilla ice cream with ginger ale as a "white cow." But in doing some research, I found those terms aren't universal but more regional, but go back to the 1930's.
We used to have them with a straw which made them into three treats. At first you get the ice cream with the spoon and soda with the straw, then you mix them.
I was surprised LOL. Maybe I should try it too??? Im Iranian Canadian and I HATE ROOT BEER !!!! LOL
Just a tip! Any clear sodas, sprite, ginger ale, sierra mist, etc... If you add a slice of frozen ginger root to it, it fizzes up so much and instantly adds the ginger kick to it!
I e doesn't make your cola flat, time sitting and not drinking it does.
When I go to KFC the A and W Root-beer has it’s own station tap and it tastes even creamier than from the soda can. But another root-beer brand that I like is IBC Root-beer. It comes in a glass bottle like actual liquor but it doesn’t have alcohol in it. Maybe you can see if you can get a hold of some of that. Happy taste testing.😊
Yes, A&W on tap is king. I grew up in Modesto with the second A&W restaurant ever opened (and oldest one standing) and it was always better on tap in the frosty mug. That vanilla just EXPLODES. in a frosty mug, I prefer it pure. But without the mug I love a float.
@@BaughbeSauce I agree. It is just that much better than store bought.
Uh oh. You're done for now....once you have a root beer float, you will always crave it. Congrats you guys, fun video.
I need to try these New Zealand medicines that taste like soda!
My Mom and Grandma used to give us Coca Cola syrup for stomach aches. It and Pepsi were both meds back in the day.
A&W is the best root beer. Root beer is made from Sassafras root which is a wild plant.
Root beer used to be flavored with sassafras root, but it was eventually decided sassafras was not good for humans, so now it's artifically flavored. My mother used to dig up sassafras root from West Virginia and keep it in the freezer. In the spring, she'd cut off a piece and boil it for tea -- it was delicious and used to perfume the entire house.
We always have a straw with the Root Beer Float. Taste it through a straw.
And, put the ice cream in first.
A&W used to have roadside stands. My father would take me to the A&W stand for Root beer in a frosted glass. I was an amazing treat.
Still have the root beer stand in Dayton ohio 😊
A&W used to sell in stands in their signature heavy glass mug, and you could buy the mug. They also sold the root beer in 5 gallon glass jugs.
We put the Ice cream in first and carefully poured the rootbeer over the Ice cream. We also used straws too. Straws and spoons.
When I was a kid, some 55 years ago, we got RC in glass bottles, and we would put Corn nuts right into it. The salt would cause a fizzing and you had to drink it without losing a drop or you had to do 20 situps or push ups your choice.
The perfect rootbeer float: small chunks of good vanilla ice cream in a wide cup first, followed by a slow pour of cold rootbeer. It allows the rootbeer to crystalize on more surfaces of the ice cream. Delish!
YES! PUT VERY COLD ICE CREAM IN FIRST, THE ROOT BEER FREEZES TO CRYSTAL LIKE AND CHUNKY Frozen ROOTBEER AND CRUNCHY ICE CREAM...SALT IN THE ROOT BEER MAKES ICE CREAM & THE BEER COLDER! NEXT UP, GREEN RIVERS, BLACK CHERRY, AND NESBITT FLAVORS OF GRAPE AND ORANGE. I USE TO LIKE SUNKIST ORANGE, ESPECIALLY REAL ORANGES, BUT NOW SUNKIST TASTES LIKE BEAR ASPRIN FOR KIDS... CHEW ONE... THEN TASTE SUNKIST... SAME FLAVOR...BUT FANTA ORANGE TASTES LIKE REAL SWEET ORANGE FLAVOR! NESBIT IS 1/2 WAY BETWEEN THOSE TOO IF MEMORY serves me right. FANTA GRAPE IS LITTLE SWEETER BUT NESBIT GRAPE IS A NICE GRAPE FLAVOR, BETTER THAN FANTA'S OR THEIR STRAWBERRY FLAVOR. GRAPE Nehi another great old 1924 drink company.

Mug is quite popular as well. It was a good competitor to choose. A&W, Barq’s, and Mug are by far the biggest brands.
Yet, personal opinion, Dad's is the best one as a drink. A&W does make the best floats.
@@anthonyhansel9175 Agreed Dad's is the best!
Don't forget Dog and Suds! 💜💜💜
@TurtleMom54 Oh wow I forgot about Hires have not had it in decades, can't even remember the last time I saw it in stores in my neck of the woods.
A&W on tap is best and then Dad's
Wow I’m glad someone gave the Sunkist two thumbs and toes up. 6-2, it’s a winnah! Do 1/3 orange soda and 2/3 cream soda for an orange creamsicle drink.
My husband worked for a branch of the Coca Cola Company for 38years. He said even though the recipe was the same in the US, it still could have a different taste due to water filtration and other factors. Drinking a coke in Virginia will taste different in Ohio or California. This is usually just a slight difference.but noticeable. Coke in other countries use recipes tailored to that country’s tastes. In the US, Coke has several brands of soda that only they sell, while Pepsi has their own. They bid with smaller soda manufacturers like Dr. Pepper, & Canada Dry to sell in marketing area. Just extra information to let you know taste can very as well as what companies each soda is sold by. Here in Southwest Virginia, I know Coke manufacturers Coke, Diet Coke (diet in all brands that have them by the way), Mello Yello, Sprite, Fantas, Barq’s Root Beer, and Pibb.
Mexican Coke in the little bottles is the absolute BEST
I love the way the dog wasn’t phased by all the noise. Just waiting for some petting.
Cherry Coke has always been my favorite. “Mexican” Coke is good, since it has cane sugar, instead of the high fructose corn syrup.
Yes, Mexican soda is 😋
I agree. Using sugar AND the glass bottles. Much better than a can or plastic. RC cola is a sad, sad little drink. People in Idaho drink it like it’s nectar of the gods
And MCDonald's Coke.
Canadian soda also uses cane sugar instead of corn syrup, it is a noticeable superior ingredient.
@@russellnobriga4766 you’re so right! The same reason I buy coke from Mexico. Glass bottles and real sugar
I think when mom and dad broke out the root beer and then within our ice cream, it was a very special treat. It’s a completely different thing than anything else.
In the US there are 3 big soda conglomerates.
Coca Cola owns coke, pibb, Mello yello, minute maid, Fanta, and barqs.
Pepsi owns Pepsi, mountain dew, Sunkist, mug, and Sierra mist.
American bottlers distributes Dr. Pepper, 7 up, Canada dry, RC Cola, and A & W. The individual companies still own the rights but distribute through American Bottlers.
There are still many more and craft soda companies.
You guys are a delight to watch. Great family! Best from South Florida.
Barq’s Red Creme Soda with a scoop of Vanilla ice cream is a “Fireman’s Float”. Delicious!
Big Red is so much better than bargs red cream soda
We used to add red hots to ours to add the "fire" to it.
Wow, didn’t know that.
That's a pink cow here (Cincinnati)
In Michigan that would be done with Faygo Redpop.
Try the same thing with the cream soda. Cream soda floats are the bomb!! Orange soda and vanilla ice cream are Dreamsicle floats.
I love that dad is staring down into his float like ..."how can I climb in this mug?"
Love the dad's reaction with the Root Beer float! Haha...:oooh ya, ooh ya, that changes things. That changes things..." Love it. Great videos. Your family is so lovely.
Mug- is Pepsi's rootbeer; A&W is DrPepper/7up, Barqs is Cokes. To experience root beer properly you need to drink it from a bottle or frosted mug.
Root beer + ice cream = Brown Cow. Cream Soda + Ice Cream = Pink Cow (Barq's and other cream sodas are typically reddish pink.)
We put ice cream in first, then root beer for the foam!
Ooo I've not had a float in a long time. And I just made chocolate frozen custard, not vanilla. I would try it with Dr. Pepper since that's what I have.
French Vanilla, or homestyle ice cream is really good to use.
Mug is pretty big here as well. Its so weird hearing root beer tastes like medicine...we dont generally have sweet meds.
It tastes like medicine to them because many of the medicines they grew up with are flavored like root beer. Most of ours in the US get artificial fruit flavors like cherry, or, orange, or grape.
@@JustMe-dc6ks Root Beer includes wintergreen in its flavoring which is chemically related to aspirin so that's likely where the "medicine" taste they're talking about comes from.
Weirdly enough, I was born and raised in Atlanta and root beer tastes like either medicine or tooth paste to me, depending on the brand. The toothpaste I get, with the wintergreen in it, but I have no clue where the medicine association comes in from.
It is really similar to pepto bismol to me
They are all cherry or something along those lines.. and never done well.
OK yeah it was made in Canada originally and now it’s made all over the world but fun fact is it doesn’t actually have any ginger in it. A lot of people drink Gingerale when they’re not feeling well because Ginger has anti-nausea properties. So if they’re smart, they’ll drink Schweppes, which does have ginger in it.
So good to see you all have fun. We love these drinks ,desert so much too.
I like the bored dog over to the side. Just sleeping through the whole thing.
Bruh he ain't move I think he dead
I wish my dog was that chill. I think he repositioned himself 8 times while I was watching the video, minimum. 😂🤣
This family makes my heart smile....
Watching y’all try root beer floats reminds me so much of making them with my family when I was a kid ❤❤ I love you guys! ❤
For a summer light refreshing treat, try an orange sherbert and Squrit or 7up float.
Orange soda with vanilla ice cream is yummy
I was thinking the same thing. If you what creamsicle is will like it. It is a popsicle with vanilla ice cream in the middle. It is good as a shake to
Yes!! Love that
YES! I hope they see this.
In the fifties, when we were kids (brother and sister) ... this was a special treat, along with a bag of potato chips on Saturday night.
Here is something to ponder... Have you tried Orange Soda and Chocolate Ice Cream? It actually isn't bad.
A&W started as a Root beer stand in 1919 then became a fast food restaurant in the 1920s
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. When I drive north of the Golden Gate Bridge (in San Rafael on the way toward Napa), I can stop off at an A&W restaurant. They make great burgers (made-to-order) and cheese curds (instead of fries or onion rings). Plus, you get a frozen frosted glass mug into which you get your A&W from a tap.
Its a very popular burger joint here in Canada !!!!
We once had the old school A&W drive ins but they all went away in the late 90s here in Minnesota. Nothing beats the frosted glass
@@amyraleigh1715 We had them in Indiana until the late 80s. Then we had a couple of the modern A&W restaurants open in our area about 15 years ago.
@@amyraleigh1715 - I agree! That frosted glass is (pardon the pun) very cool.
The A&W in San Rafael (just north of the Golden Gate Bridge) is an old school location. It doesn't look like it has been remodeled since the 1970s or 1980s. In fact, I've been to some of the newer A&W restaurants (I used to eat at one near my apartment while interning at NASA Langley Research Center).
The menu and food (apart from the frosted mugs) at the restaurants in Virginia were VERY different from what I can eat at the San Rafael location. They serve fantastic cheese curds there (and I don't even know what a "cheese curd" is).
I'm very impressed by it. In fact, if I visit spots in Napa or Point Reyes National Seashore, I usually like to stop there. I actually wrote a Yelp review for it.
Dr Pepper flavor according to Food&Drink. : cola, cherry, amaretto, licorice, almond, vanilla, blackberry, apricot, caramel, pepper, anise, sarsaparilla, ginger, molasses, lemon, plum, orange, nutmeg, cardamom, allspice, coriander juniper, birch, and prickly ash.
In the late 70’s Pepsi was in competition with Coke and if you went in the grocery stores they used to ask if you wanted to do a blind taste test to see if you could tell which one was Pepsi and which one was Coke. Pepsi is my second favorite, I grew up an RC and I still love it today, but it is hard to find. If you mix the ice cream with the root beer it is called a root beer float. You can also scoop vanilla or Neapolitan ice cream into a mug and then pour orange or a cola over it and it’s called an ice cream soda. We always put the ice cream first, then pour the soda over the ice cream, then you use a straw to drink it. No spoons are used.
For that size of mugs, we would put 3 scoops of ice cream. But we would pour a little Root Beer in the bottom of the glass, add 1 or 2 scoops, then add more Root Beer. Also, use a long spoon and straw to eat/drink the float. Now I am craving one. LOL!!! Love seeing how you all aren't afraid to try new things. Stay happy!!
When you make Root beer Floats the ice cream goes in first then the a&w or mugs....
It depends on how much foam you like.
Soda first produces more foam vs ice cream first.
They seemed to really like the foam so should continue soda first.
Add a straw too
thats the way i was taught it also
My whole household was yelling at the screen "NOOOOO! YOU ICE-CREAM FIRST AND THEN THE SODA!" LOL. I'm glad you liked them
If the ice cream is cold enough, ice crystals form and coat it, and it is crunchy. But, yeah, ice cream first. Then keep your can of root beer close because you will want to drain the mug with a straw, and refill!!!
