I've hated them since childhood. Not as good as ice cream and most certainly not as good as a shake. Obviously, millions of people disagree with me as it's been a staple on their menu for decades.
Try these instead,
Vanilla ice cream soda floats....that's to die for in my opinion.
Also A&W root beer floats are one of a kind.
Ingredients:
Frosty mug
12 oz. of chilled, freshly made Root Beer from your local A&W - 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Adult version;
6 oz. of A&W Root Beer
1 oz. of Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream
2 scoops of vanilla ice cream
