Mix Your Own Float
You’re probably wondering why McDonald’s doesn’t sell root beer floats, even though they sell Barq’s Root Beer. Well, it’s because the name “root beer float” has been trademarked. Now, McD’s could use the original name of the drink—black cow—but nobody would know what that is.
Fret not, friends, for if you want a float at McDonald’s, you can make your own. Choose your favorite soda and a cup of vanilla ice cream. Mix the two together, making sure the cup doesn’t overflow with bubbly goodness, and enjoy! Have you tried a Fanta float? It’s heavenly.
