The story of Root Beer Iceberg

Every roller rink snack bar seemed to serve Root Beer Icebergs in tall frosted glasses. The vanilla scoop was so big it poked out of the top, and the foam rose like a slow-motion avalanche. The rule was simple: spoon first, straw second, and never let the foam touch the counter.

Fun fact

Blowing bubbles into the float made the foam overflow, and every snack bar lady saw it coming a mile away.
