Now, why wasn't big news like this on TV yesterday, in time for Americans to prepare for the festivities? My father and brother and I used to make root beer floats almost every night after dinner. It was a beloved family tradition! And here we sit with not a single ounce of root beer in the house...
We'll just have to call it Root Beer Float WEEK. I'll get the appropriate fixin's tomorrow!
Way back when, after Sunday evening worship services (Grandpa was the preacher), we'd stop at the store and get a gallon of vanilla ice cream and then to the A&W drive-in for a gallon of root beer.
