This Sunkist Float bottled pop* looks pretty good. I have tried the root beer version, and it's creamy and not bad when cold, but if it's warm, ugh, it's pretty bad.
*I have to say "pop" because I am a Minnesotan. It is physically impossible for me to say anything else.

I'm from Chicago; yes "pop" is the way to go. I had a roommate in college who called it sody. Or would that be spelled "sodie". Either way, it was strange.
OMG - the root bear was one of the most disappointing (and worst) drinks I have ever had. I could only take two drinks and poured out the rest. AWFUL. And I LOVE root beer floats.
Shouldn't that be pop vs. soda vs. coke? Here in the South, every fountain drink is a coke.
I'm from southern California so I say soda. This one here looks like it might be good. I recently had cucumber soda and really enjoyed it. I posted a link to the store I purchased it from on my blog. They also take online orders. I need to go back and stock up on more!
oh yeah, I am from Minnesota too and it has always been pop for me and my family. I'm living in OK and they call everything Coke.
My Okie daughter called it Dr. Pepsi Coke when she was a toddler.
