Yum! I remember the time we enjoyed a long weekend in Colorado — my father took me to an ice cream parlor in downtown Denver and introduced me to one of those they called a ‘Black Cow.’
That was the original name. It was named after Cow Mountain in Cripple Creek, Colorado by Frank J. Wisner who sold soda water. A full moon was shining on the snow-capped mountain which gave him the idea of putting vanilla ice cream into root bear.
YES!
I used to Love an A&W rootbeer float! xo
Great memories!
It looks good in the picture but I’ve never been a fan of root beer floats
That’s probably a good thing. 🙂
I have a root beer in the fridge & vanilla yogurt. Sounds good & icy cold. But I have a quart of fresh strawberries & cool whip instead
They’re both yummy. 🙂
I love root beer floats and orange crush floats.
I haven’t had one in several years, but I have fond memories.

have not had one in years and would love to have one now. I do have watermelon so will join you in eating that. yum
😀
Yum, I could go for one of those!
I could too!
Oh, drat! I missed it. On a lighter note, an A&W is being built within less than a mile of my front door!
Congratulations! I wish we had one here.
I used to love those floats – root beer, not here – but with coke or fanta …. along with Knickerbocker sundaes.
Yes, it doesn’t have to be root beer. 🙂
