    I eat a lot of ice cream it has glucose but the fat offsets it. Of course you have to make sure now its actually dairy real ice cream.
    Now they have these DEOZEN SESERTS that look like ice cream and it is next to real ice cream section, everything has to be a gimmick.:rolleyes:

    Back to topic, I like to make ice cream floats with just a small sprinkle of Sprite. I put whatever is at hand on it.,today I had blueberries, sometimes grapes, strawberry and I always sprinkle it with bakers powder cocoa so I get the real stuff without the sugar [plenty of that in the ice cream.
    My favorite was a Root Beer Float but now its Sprite or just water works too.

    I like coke floats,and not had one in long time. Our favorite ice cream is Blue Bell,and of course you can not get in Kansas.
    So we will make our own, which we have done many times and is quite good.

    Man, I have not had a root beer float or a ginger ale/orange sherbet float in eons!!!!!

    There used to be a great ice cream place in Arlington VA called Giffords. We're talking 40-50 years ago. When I was married, we had Thanksgiving dinner at my MIL's place, then we went out for ice cream. I got their Alpine Split. I walked out of the place looking like I had a volleyball under my shirt.

    I've always liked rootbeer floats, although it's been years since I've had one. I limit my ice cream to a 14-oz container of Haagen-Dazs once in a while, figuring that if I'm going to take the calories, I may as well eat something that I really like.
