I think you can make a float out of most any kind of drink and ice cream. We've used Coke, Dr. Pepper, Root Beer, Big Red, etc. When I was on one successful diet, many years ago, I used to drink diet Shasta. That was back in the 1960s. They had a good taste to them. But, when they took out the sweetner that worked, and replaced it with the government approved stuff, it gave me a splitting headache after a couple of sips, and the taste was bad, too. All the diet things now give me a splitting headache and a bad taste in my mouth. I absolutely ruined my stomach on the Dr. Pepper and boiled egg diet! Even starvation doesn't work for me. My doctor tore up the diet he prepared for me, and said I don't eat half that much. Some people are just meant to weigh a certain thing. I blame the weight on birth control pills that the doctor insisted I had to take. I ganed over 100 pounds in 3 months on his "safe" pills. They were soon taken off the market as they permanently elevated weight, blood pressure, and something else. A different doctor told me to throw those things out. I even have gained weight in the hospital on a strict diet! I've decided to just eat what I can, and not worry about it. (Lots of things don't digest since I had the old gall bladder out, have trouble swallowing and chewing, at times. The one thing that goes down well, when I am having esophogal spasms, is ice cream, and that seems to calm it down so that I can eat my food. Those times, I have to have my dessert first!)
