LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I GIVE YOU...

THE V8 FLOAT!!

comments: one time, at nice cafe, we all ordered floats. when the waitress asked what time of pop we wanted, she motioned to the drink fridge. which held many drinks. we all got root beer that day, but it brought up the idea of floats with other beverages. the V8, in particular. after much discussion about it, we ordered one today. it was something. kinda just like you'd expect. not really that good. but not revolting. the idea of it is actually worse than the taste. this is one of those food types that I will try once in my life. no more than once.

with so many people to lunch in my life, why do I worry about one?
