These are the best arent they? I think they are an "up North" thing though. I was born in MI and we moved to Maryland when I was about 10. Nobody here seemed to know what these are. My Aunt used to mix hers in the blender mmmmmmmmmmm they were so good! :D -
This is a float I almost lived on when I was growing up! If we didn't have root beer or Coke in the fridge, ginger ale was the next soda of choice! Thanks for posting this classic, Chef 000 : ) -
These are the best! I'm not an ice cream lover but if there's vanilla (especially Stroh's) in the freezer this is what I'm going to have. And throwing this in the blender is another fantastic way to enjoy this. If you can get your hands on Vernors this is the only way to go. -
I grew up in the Boston area. My Grandmother used to make these years ago when I was a kid. I believe she used to use Canada Dry 'Golden' Gingerale. She called them Horse's Necks. I have no idea where that name came from lol -
It really quenched our thirst for something cold and yummy at the same time!

<p>Born and raised in Michigan but feel like a southern gal at heart. My parents were raised in Tennessee. I love it in the south, except the heat and chiggers. LOL Am married and have one spoiled teenage son and a sweet little shaggy humane society rescue named Scotty. Edit/also a little spitfire Pomeranian named Callie. I have worked retail for all my adult life. Edit/early retirement! I am trying to learn to cook and am addicted to ZAAR. I also love doing genealogy. It is so exciting to find new leaves on the family tree. We were always told our ancestors were English and Scottish, but it seems we have more Irish than anything else. We are fortunate enough to have had a gggggggrandfather that kept a diary. A lot of information from the 1700's in his 100 page diary. We were alway told that my Dad's ggrandmother was an American Indian but can't find anything to verify this. (Although we though some looked native american) It's alway's exciting to find long lost relatives. <br />One of my pet peeves is people that think it's OK to Say what I think without consideration for anyone else's feelings.</p>
