I have had them both and I adore them!! I like the orange one bet but I could drink like…. 50 of each per day…. They are really divine and sooooo delicious. I never put mine in the freezer, I will have to do that.

we have tried the Sunkist Orange. Just as another said if you leave them in freezer just long enough to get slushy they are great. Sweet but that is the point of a float. They are very hard to find right now and that is a problem. Price was under $6.00 and worth it.

Rest assured that this posting from “SunkistLover” has made me more eager than ever to track down this product and review it (I’m anticipating a not very good review).

HOLY COW!

You want an authentic Ice Cream Float experience? This is more realistic then a REAL FLOAT!

Today I bought a 4-Pack of the Sunkist™ Floats and after leaving one to chill in the fridge for a few hours – I tried it – and believe me, I was blown away.

As a regular consumer of all kinds of premimium beverages, it seems as if Cadbury-Schwepps has made this indulgent product just for me – and for anyone who could use a break to enjoy a cool, refreshing Float Experience – out of a bottle!

The orange is my new muse. I love it. The a&w is a bit of a let down. The rootbeer flavor is somehow off. The sunkist I want to buy a 100 count case of.

Here is a hint at least for the orange. Leave it in the freezer just long enough to let it get partially frozen. Mmm yummy!

After trying both flavors I would have to say the Sunkist fairs better, but both suffer from being WAY too sweet and in the case of the A&W Float it’s off the mark in taste, almost like a marmellow rather than the traditional root beer and vanilla ice cream flavor. Fun idea but it just make a person want the real thing. So in conclusion, I wanted to like them but sadly I can’t endorse them.

no ice cream = not a float.

“a real float experience without all of the fuss”, ummmmm? I like the fuss, aka, a giant scoop of ice cream in my REAL float.

I haven’t seen this yet, but if what Steph says is true, (7.79 for a 4 pack of SODA), I’d rather by a 2 liter, some ice cream and make it myself, fuss and all.

I’ve never tried to visit a beverage website before, but a friend and I purchased both flavors of float soda to try them out, and we’ve never tasted anything quite as terrible before. I wanted to find the website simply to complain about it. Aside from the terrible taste, we payed $7.79 for a 4 pack…rediculous for soda, but it sounded so good that we decided to give it a shot anyway. Bad move.

I agree – the product sounds like a tasty one. From what I have heard, Cadbury has a patent (or is about to get a patent) on a process that allows for a partially dairy product to be shelf stable. They believe that this process is revolutionary and that the actual dairy nature of it means that it really is like a float.

That remains to be seen, of course.

Hopefully the product is better than the marketing roll out.
