for over a decade i thought that an ice cream float was ice cream + any drink, so i would put ice cream into a cup of milk and that was my idea of an ice cream float.

i later learned (in a public social gathering no less) that true ice cream floats in fact require soft drinks, and consequently was completely disgusted (imho the only drink that matches well with ice cream is milk >8U). i tried having a real ice cream float just in case i’d like it… but i didn’t. A NASTY COMBINATION THAT IS. never againnnn D8<
