A&W Root Float

I tried the Big Red Float when it came out and was surprised that it tasted sort of like a float-I was even more surprised that they use Big Red as the flavor base for a float. I never made a Big Red float on my own-and never bought any more of the canned sodas either.

Then I saw A&W Float and thought, well, now we’re talking. But at almost two dollars a bottle I skipped trying it. It now seems that A&W Float has been discontinued, which might explain why I found it on sale for $3.99 for a four pack.

A&W Float is my kind of soda-sweet to the max. A&W Float is a very creamy and very sweet drink and I really like it. Would I like it enough to pay two dollars a bottle for it? Well, no. But as long as the Kroger’s is selling off the last of their supplies for a dollar a bottle I will keep drinking it until it is gone.

A&W Float reminds me of another favorite soda that has gone the way of all good things-Black Cherry Vanilla Coke. That was an awesome drink, as they tweaked the flavors to flow over the tongue so that you actually tasted cherry, Coke, and vanilla. It might still be available somewhere, but I have not seen on the store shelves in a while.
