wouldn't that be a Sprite float?(which actually sounds nasty)
I always preferred Root beer floats to Coke.
For a real treat try Dr. Pepper with cherry ice cream

At least in MA, coke was generally not used as a brand name so much as a stand in name for any carbonated soda "What kind of coke you want?" Get me a Pepsi" And milkshakes were also called frappes (pronounced fraps)
Didnt realize til after I joined the Navy that awesome Mom and Pop Italian sub shops were not placed every few miles around the country, nor that it would not be possible to get a real "Seafood Platter" til I went back there. Seems a 3-4 inch pile of fried seafood mixing scallops, fish and shrimp just isn't to be found in four or five places in every town for $10-$12
Besides ham salad there was also cheese salad. Oh, and ham loaf with a slice of pineapple on top and a maraschino cherry in the center.

Maryland Crab Soup. When my granddaughters spend the weekend with us, its a must to have rootbeer floats. Its kind of become a tradition. When my daughter offered to fix the youngest granddaughter a rootbeer float at home, my granddaughter said, and I quote, "NO, I cant have a rootbeer float anywhere but Nanny's house, it doesn't taste the same". Of course she wont watch the "Wizard of Oz" anywhere else but our house either. LOL

When I started traveling for work I realized that seafood preparation is much different in the south. In Florida and NOLA they would boil their crabs, oysters, scallops, and clams. To me, this took all of the flavor out of them. there is nothing better than steamed Maryland crabs using cheep beer and lots of Old Bay. I took one of my customers from Florida out for crabs and he said he would never be able to eat crabs in Florida again.

Not really. Sprite floats are wonderful. Not as good as Coke or A&W root beer floats, but still very tasty.
Anything Dr Pepper sucks, along with Mtn Dew, IMHO. But that's just me. Iffn' it blows up your skirt, go for it! Hard to beat ice cream at any time!

Evidently, Vernors Ginger Ale is supposd to make awesome float. Me, I dont even like ginger ale, like most gin, tastes medicinal to me, but Vernors is amazing stuff. Only ginger ale I will drink, and just recently same across info that it makes an amazing float, but haven't tried that yet.

Agree with all your observations gl, i remember Frappes. And to this day, almost all mom and pop sub shops in Ma. sell better subs than i can get almost anywhere on Md. up there subs also called grinders. And yes, seafood everywhere.

Love Isaly's chipped ham. I bring some back and freeze it whenever I go home to visit my Mom. Still have an actual Isaly's store where she lives.
