1. It's what happens when you let your children name your store.

11. An ice cream float is made with soda (Coke, Diet Coke, Rootbeer, or Sprite) and a scoop of ice cream. An ice cream soda is made with chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry syrup, milk, club soda, and a scoop of ice cream.
12. An egg cream is a tradition in many New York cities. It does not (nor did it ever) contain egg. Apparently, it was created during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Eggs were at a premium so any food that claimed to have eggs in it was considered a luxury. Traditional New York egg creams are made with Fox's U-Bet syrups, primarily chocolate or vanilla, half-and-half, and club soda. No ice cream is added. We heard the other day, however, that Ben and Jerrys make their own version of the egg cream, and apparently they do add ice cream.
