03/01/08 More than 110 years after the ice-cream float was first consumed, A&W and Sunkist Floats are being introduced to recreate all the rich creamy frothiness of a real ice cream float in a bottle. A&W and Sunkist Floats - first-of-their-kind, float-like beverages - deliver a real float experience without all of the fuss.

"For years, beverage makers have tried to crack the code and develop an indulgent drink that tastes like a homemade float," said Andrew Springate, vice president of marketing. "The A&W and Sunkist Floats are indulgent treats like nothing consumers have experienced before; one pour and your taste buds will be amazed - no work, no hassle."

A&W and Sunkist Floats give you permission to indulge in an easy, fast and simple way.

Available in convenient 11.5-ounce, vintage soda-shop-inspired glass bottles with twist-off tops, A&W and Sunkist Floats' rich, creamy flavor can be found at major retail, grocery and convenience stores nationwide. The suggested retail price is $1.79 for a single serve bottle and $5.99 for a 4- pack.
