grape juice floats

[bookworm]

Whenever I listened to For the Fun of It I always chuckled at the line about grape juice floats, but never gave it much more thought. But recently I’ve really been wondering what that would taste like.
So a few days ago, to finally satisfy my curiosity, I actually made and consumed a grape juice float.
And to my surprise, it was actually very good! Really! I had another one yesterday.
Has anyone else ever tried Wooten’s favorite?

[orangie]

That sound's really crazy fun. I might try it sometime.

[Taps]

I forgot how to do it. what are the ingredients for it?

[bookworm]

I just poured some grape juice in a cup and plopped some ice cream in it. Vanilla of course.

[American Eagle]

I've made that! I love mixing vanilla ice cream with miscellaneous drinks (cola, other sodas, hot chocolate, etc., and grape juice of course! ).

[Steve]

That sounds good. I'll try it next time I have grape juice.

[bookworm]

Yeah, I mix it with all kinds of sodas (my favorite is Dr. Pepper), so if you think about it it’s not all that crazy. I mean, it’s basically a grape smoothie that's not blended.

Grape juice is sickeningly sweet. *shivers*

[Sapphire]

That sounds delicious! I'll have to make one sometime!

Not all of it. I used grape juice a friend makes themself. It’s purely from grapes, nothing added. It’s literally grape juice.
The idea is you add sugar and water, but I just drink it ‘raw’ so it’s rather bitter, but I love it.

Even thinking about it sets my teeth on edge.

But sets them on edge in a good way, right? That sounds delightfully sour.

No... it makes me think of having my braces coated in unsweet sugar.

I've never tried a grape juice float, or hot chocolate float either, but I've tried sparkling cider floats! those are really good

I miss snocones! Grape was one of my favorites. We have 'grape/green apple' juice in Sweden. It's good once you get over the fact that it doesn't taste like 'welch's.' There is also a grape jello dessert you can make with grape jello, blueberry pie filling and pineapple called Grape Balls of Fire, but don't remember the porportions. No jello in Sweden either.

[Samitude]

I've never even considered eating a grape juice float, but suppose I could try it sometime. I like eating vanilla ice cream, orange juice, and ginger ale/7-Up/Sprite. It's pretty good.

[Lee]

Yeah. Orange juice and sprite mixed is awesome...

[Mrs Jason Whittaker]

It's called a purple cow. It can also be made with grape soda.

I've never tried one, but with all this talk, knowing now that it is an official AIO drink, I will have to try it.

[jennifertwt]

I actually saw grape soda at Texas Burger in Sweden! Unfotunately, it's made with cane sugar and I'm diabetic, but it was nice to know it exists here.

[Trixie Belden]

Ooh, now I really, really want one of those! I love grape juice, and it sounds delicious. The only problem is....no vanilla ice cream in the house at the moment. Would chocolate chip cookie dough work, I wonder? And my sister has soy vanilla ice cream, but not the true milk kind. I bet it would work pretty well though. Maybe I'll try it after breakfast.
