Ice Cream Soda day and Vanilla Milkshake day. I have never had an ice cream soda before........plenty of ice cream floats but never a soda. The Grand Chap worked in a soda fountain as a teen and he told me how to make one which I thoroughly enjoyed. The milkshake on the right was quickly turned into a blueberry milkshake after the photo shoot and most of it was consumed by the Grand Chap. One must sometimes sacrifice for one's art!!!
Good one! To be honest, I saw today's prompt and was like "ice cream soda... Does that mean a float or are they different?" We learn something new every day, I guess!
What's the difference between ( this is a serious question!) an ice cream soda and an ice-cream float? Poor Grand Chap having to consume your props, where would we be without our photogging supportive spouses??
They look very tasty. I'm curious about the difference between an ice cream soda and float. I really like floats - any sort of soda and vanilla ice cream.
@maggiemae@princessicajessica@marilyn@annied@myhrhelper@eudora@ludwigsdiana@30pics4jackiesdiamond@kjarn@joansmor@briaan@tunia@randystreat thank you so much for all your interesting comments which I enjoyed reading. When I googled the differences this definittion came up from Wikipedia "An ice cream float or ice cream soda, also known as a spider in Australia and New Zealand,is a chilled beverage that consists of ice cream in either a soft drink or a mixture of flavored syrup and carbonated water." the difference therefore being in whether just soda is used, (a float) or if a syrup is used with the soda (a soda). One version did specify that the syrup version was used mainly in the US and that is how the Grand Chap told me he made them. I hope this helps clear up some of the confusion
Marilyn I see what you did there
Jackie he was happy to make the sacrifice!
Tunia come and get it!
Kathy they definitely were very tasty
Yum yum! I always knew the "float" to be associated with root beer or cream soda, but the ice cream soda could be any kind soda and both of them were basically made with vanilla ice cream. I wasn't really into soda- I'd rather have a sundae (o:
@olivetreeann I feel like that might be where it actually started but my favorite is with orange soda and vanilla ice cream. I do love a float, but I also love a sundae. Let’s face it if it has sugar in it I think I like it! @mcsiegle I knew you would understand my sacrifice Mary lol!
Of if a favulous photo
