This Iconic Soda Is Headed for the Freezer—and Fans Say They Need It
When it comes to soda, one type is seriously underrated. No, I'm not talking about grape soda or cream soda—those have their fair share of fans. I'm talking about root beer. While other big soda brands like Mountain Dew and Dr Pepper are constantly rolling out new variations to grab our attention, root beer just keeps doing its thing—and doing it well. No gimmicks, no wild flavors—just smooth, crisp, slightly-spiced goodness that hits the spot every time, especially on a hot day. And when you add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the mix, there's even more to love. It's bright and sparkly, yet rich and creamy all at once. With summer right around the corner, it's no surprise that food brands are taking inspiration from this classic dessert, like Trader Joe's, which recently launched Root Beer Float Pieces featuring vanilla cookie bits and popping candy that mimic the soda's signature fizz. Now, Dad's Old Fashioned Root Beer is joining the float-inspired trend and releasing a brand-new ice cream based on the beloved summer treat. Introducing Dad's new Root Beer Float Ice Cream. The all-new flavor features sweet vanilla ice cream swirled with root beer sherbet. It's reminiscent of Blue Bell's limited-edition Root Beer Float Ice Cream, but this one's made with Dad's signature soda, known for being spicier than most, with notes of wintergreen, licorice, and vanilla. Fans on social media are already showing their approval: "I need, I need, I need, I need, I need," wrote an enthusiastic user on Instagram. "The amount of research and tasting that has gone into finding the best root beer, and of course, it's Dad's Root Beer." "Personally, I would probably love this flavor," commented another fan. Honestly? Same here. While some root beers fall flat on the spice front, Dad's is known for its pronounced licorice flavor, which I imagine adds a surprising (and delicious) element that takes vanilla ice cream up a few notches. And I'm not alone in that thought. Over on Dad's Instagram, someone else commented, "This is everything we could have hoped for and more." According to the brand, the new ice cream is available wherever Farr Better Ice Cream is sold. So far, shoppers have spotted it at Walmart and Kroger. And considering how popular other root beer float ice creams have been, we have a feeling this one's going to be a hit too. Read the original article on ALLRECIPES

Trader Joe's launches limited-time products sure to sell out
"I told my therapist, 'I just want to be as happy as a Trader Joe's cashier.'" That little joke is courtesy of Conan O'Brien, but he's definitely on to something. Trader Joe's is one of those places people have strong feelings about, and part of that is just the vibe. Even the team members who are hucking crates of bananas and cases of beer generally seem to be doing it cheerfully. I mean, it's work, but I've never seen a Trader Joe's worker who looks miserable. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter I buy fresh flowers at Trader Joe's every week - the selection can be limited but the prices can't be beat - and sometimes, if the flowers I want are looking a little sad, I'll ask one of the team members to see if they have any more in the back. Never once has my request been denied, and I've exchanged plenty of flower-arranging tips with the (usually) smiling women who sort the flowers. The other place the team members are always happy? The food sampling booth. You know, that corner where a Trader Joe's employee hands out samples of one of their concoctions or lets people try new or seasonal foods? Image source: Shutterstock Trader Joe's is known for its limited-time releases of seasonal treats. It also uses short-term products as a way to test customer interest and create a sense of excitement. If a product becomes a sensation with the public, it's more likely to become a year-round item. Here's a list of the latest limited-time-only treats on the shelves and in the coolers at your local Trader Joe's, according to food blogger markie_devo: Root Beer Float Pieces - Little cookie nuggets filled with popping candy and covered in root-beer-flavored confectionery coatingPretzel Buns - Just in time for Memorial Day barbecuesOrganic Guava Fruit Spread - Thick, tangy, and tropicalStrawberry Baton Wafer Cookies - Flaky cookies filled with strawberry cremeSparkling Tea & Lemonade - Like an Arnold Palmer, only betterSparkling Matcha Lemonade - The Trader Joe's now-viral version of a Starbucks favoriteMacarons in raspberry, vanilla, and blueberry - Meringue-y, almond-y, yumm-y Related: Trader Joe's adds knockoff of really popular cold beverage While Trader Joe's is known for its offbeat snacks and treats, it stocks plenty of staples, too, which is why it's become a primary grocery store for many shoppers, according to data from retail analytics firm Their report showed that fewer Trader Joe's customers go to a competitor right before or after visiting a TJ's.
