Default Coke-Float?

I think I might have heard about this item from a diner somewhere but has anyone tried a root beer float style drink but it's made w/ Coke-A-Cola instead of root beer?

I'm sure it's a matter of personal preference. I love root beer floats, but won't waste good ice cream on coke float.

Growing up, on special occasions, Mom would make us floats with whatever "brown" soda we had on hand. Coke was used sometimes, but we bought cases of multi-flavored soda (think less expensive than national brands) from a local brewer and the soda might just as easily been cream or cherry nut or... BUT having said that, the favorite treat of all, were root beer floats from the local AW drive-in

Yep, we had Coke Floats growing up and I still make them sometimes today. Dairy Queen sells coke floats (or used to) on their ice cream menu. I've made them using chocolate ice cream which was really good and the traditional vanilla. Haven't tried any other flavors. I like a root beer float but for me, coke floats are the traditional way to go. Maybe because I grew up in Georgia? A lot of the summer hot dog drive-ins in Indiana have root beer floats. Then there's the old Dog N Suds chains that seemed to specialize in them....don't know where any of those are still open anymore.

Growing up, we were so poor that the only dessert we could afford was a pine float; a toothpick in a glass of water.
