mydiamond Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 So my older cousin, a.k.a my dad's biggest fan, came for a visit this new year's eve. He bought us (that's me and my bro) a gallon of Baskin Robbins and earlier today he went shopping for oreos and jellies. He said he wants to make an "ice cream drink" by mixing either root beer or fanta with a scoop of baskin robbins and mix it with oreo crumbs and a spoonful of jelly. He asked me "so you want rootbeer or fanta?" and I said "EWW no! just ice cream!". He was adamant that it's gonna taste great, but I really can't see a scoop of "baseball nut" drowned in fanta who's with me?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Moved to main chat for you And no, I LOVE root beer floats! I also like putting orange soda in ice cream, it tastes like a dreamsicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed #5 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Liv, you really have to do better with a translation .... "baseball nut", I can't even begin to picture what the flavour of that is Mixing ice cream with various sparkly waters is an old standard, other others have mentioned it could be called an ice cream float which is normally vanilla ice cream with some flavour of soda pop or may be called a fizz (I think that's NYC). A chocolate soda is ice cream and chocolate syrup and tonic water. It's not completely unheard of, but cookies and jelly(???) added to the blend ... now that's approaching gross!!!

Keeonah Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I'm sure they used to make an ice lolly on a stick which had strawberry flavored jelly in the middle of it. It had a coating of ice cream around the jelly and biscuit crumb on that and wrapped up in a coating of chocolate. I can't think for the life of me what they were called though. Surely this must be something similar Gary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bambi92 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 We call them spiders were you mix ice cream and soft drink together and it goes frothy on to tastes really good lol We also have as said above, jelly ice creams on sticks also can't remember there name but they are nice but not something I can eat a lot of now I want a spider lol Sent from my GT-I8530 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I tried it (the root beer/coke and ice cream combo), and it was okay. I don't really like fizzy drinks to begin with, so maybe that's why I didn't like it as much. Irish whisky and coffee on the other hand...Mmmmm..

LOL baseball nut is a flavor name. It's chocolate with roasted almonds inside if I remember correctly.. anyways I ended up passing on the "soda floats"... I'm pretty convinced if it's not vanilla ice cream then it's not a real float Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val (Zebedee) Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I used to love ice cream & some flavour of "fizzy pop", usually lemonade, I've not had that in years. Must remember it for summer time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
