The Ice Cream Float's Accidental Invention in 1874 Sparked a Timeless Dessert Tradition Across Generations

The ice cream float, created by accident in 1874, was the brainchild of Robert Green, who ran a soda shop in Philadelphia. Green used vanilla ice cream instead, making the float when he ran out of cream for his soda creams. His innovation boosted his daily earnings significantly and gave rise to a timeless treat that continues to be popular today.

Various fast-food chains have incorporated floats into their menus, such as McDonald’s McFloat, A&W’s famous Root Beer Float, and Sonic’s limited-time Orange Cloudsicle Slush Float. When these offerings aren’t available, fans often recreate the treat at home using soda and ice cream, appreciating its simplicity and deliciousness.
