Does anyone know a place in Kingwood that makes root beer floats? Sure, I could make my own, but I want the root beer float experience of having one made for me, my wife actually. Read on if you want to know why.Last week my wife and are talking about favorite things from the past and I mentioned getting root beer floats at the A&W with my dad. She says she has never had a root beer float. Married for 18 years and I just find out my wife has never had a root beer float! Got to fix that of course.So we go to Marble Slab at WLH and KWD next to Randals to get one. When I ask for a root beer float they don't understand, so I explain what it is and they say they can make one. Except it turns out they only sell soda in bottles and ran out of root beer. Coke float it is. But that day only Diet Coke remains. So we walk out with a Diet Coke float. It was as good as it sounds. Not very. Might go back and try again.A few days later I tell her we will go get a real root beer float from ice cream pros at Baskin Robins on KWD. I haven't been there in years, but I that is the original source of all things ice cream. They had run out of vanilla ice cream that day. I can actually forgive that, it happens. But they tell me they never carry root beer, ever. Something about the owner not having a vendor that sells it in bottles? We left with a Coke pistachio float. Couldn't leave empty handed, but might as well have.My life must be good if getting a root beer float without driving in to the city is this high on my list of problems. Or maybe my priorities need adjusting. 4951

I love root beer floats!! I grew up on Dog-n-Suds' floats. I get them at Sonic sometimes, but nothing's better than making them at home..And I use A&W as well.  Emoticon By the way, tell your wife I'm sorry she never got to try one before now...That is so sad. Emoticon  4951

I heard that Big Red floats are popular in Texas and the south. Never tried Big Red myself, but after we cross root beer floats off the list I might try one. 4951

How does an ice cream store run out of vanilla?  Coke (not diet) floats are good with chocolate ice cream... 4951

Love Carvel. Best we can do around here is the pre-made cakes at the grocery store. 4951
