A&W Float is Horrible

Sometimes ideas look good on paper, but suffer in execution. A&W Float in a bottle shall be the new poster child for this notion. Homemade root beer floats are a great, simple to make treat when made with actual root beer and a good quality vanilla ice cream. It seems the combination isn't so easy to simulate in a single bottle.

The packaging claims that you can pour this stuff into a glass for a foamy float experience, or enjoy straight from the bottle. I poured it into a glass and got a milky, tan, gross looking liquid and almost no foam. And then I took a drink.


The flavor is the real killer here. Imagine a world where neither real root beer nor vanilla ice cream exist, so instead of the real thing, a scientist was forced to simulate their flavor with chemicals. Imagine then, that along with his chemical mix, the scientist added skim milk, propylene glycol alginate, and nitrous oxide (for supposed creation of foam). Imagine all of this and you begin to have an idea of how A&W Float tastes.



A&W Float, in no uncertain terms, is horrid. Despite containing more sugar than a normal sugared soft drink, it manages to have a chemical flavor worse than the cheapest generic diet soda. It looks bad, it tastes bad, and it has earned the honor of being the worst beverage this blogger has ever reviewed. AVOID!!!!
