|
|
It's summer and I miss my ice-cream floats (mainly with rootbeer) at A&W or BJ's.
So during summer camp, I made coke floats for the kids as a treat. I used regular coke and vanilla ice-cream (I used a brand called 'excellent.' The ice-cream comes in blocks so it was easy to just dump it in the soda without all the scooping mess.)
Apparently, the floats were "느끼해" and too creamy for them. Some of them had to spit it out in the bathroom and I think I heard someone say people were monsters for drinking the stuff.
Am I a monster? I need some sympathy here...
P.S I jokingly said back that Koreans were monsters for liking boshintang. I didn't mean it but I was a bit offended by the monster remark. Luckily, the kids agreed and thought nothing of it. |

Luckily, BJ's are pretty easy to find here in Korea. |

A lot of kids don't like marshmellows or raisins. First country I have been to where kids didnt like marshmellows!  |

You're definitely not a monster.
I mixed together some vanilla ice cream with Sprite for a few Korean friends recently and they really liked it. I later heard that one of the girls tried to make it at home on her own. Maybe it was the proportion of ice cream : Coke that the kids disliked? Either that or it was simply a bad day for a culinary adventure? |

We call them 'spiders' in NZ - coke and ice cream. I made them up as a treat once for the teachers at my first job in Korea. Everyone kinda liked that I made the effort, but no one really liked drinking them. Same with the chocolate dipped strawberries I made early this summer for the admin staff at my latest job, they were polite, but they just didn't get it. |

I LOVE ice cream and cream soda.
Too bad they don't sell cream soda in Korea. |

I was actually given a Root Beer float by some Korean friends. Mind you they went to university as BYU Hawaii. It was a bit of a shocker though. |

There's anuther brand that is spot on and comes in a white can (not Milkis!), but...can't think of the name of it.
BUT I have a can of Dr. Pepper on this sultry, rainy night. One D.P. float come'n up. |

I'm not sure where they got the rootbeear but you can get it at the Hannam supermarket. The had been to America to get a son married off so they might have brought it back. |
