"The promptings of the Holy Ghost will always be sufficient for our needs if we keep to the covenant path. Our path is uphill most days, but the help we receive for the climb is literally divine." --Elaine S. Dalton
I'm agreein' with Di and PD, cuz if you start with the rootbeer and add icecream, the chilling effect of the ice cream causes the root beer to heave itself beyond it's bounds and makes a big mess and wastes all that sugary goodness unless one slurps it up from the table. Theoretically, anyway.
No theory there, I've EXPERIENCED that mess of which you speak. Plus it's hard to gauge the amount of root beer and your amount of ice cream will fully depend on that.
Mmmm... I root beer floats.
I love purple cows, too... with grape juice instead of root beer! Awesome!
And that thing from the 50's where you add chocolate syrup? What's that called again? Something with mud...
