Jill root beer sodas was the first thing I thought of when I saw your title! My mom would make them for us in the summer...my brother and I loved them. I can call up the taste and aroma of a black cow with no problem.

And great, fun LO too!

No root beer here in the UK, but we did have Dandelion and Burdock. Similar colour!!
That's a beautiful Autumn kit, love the big green swirl.

I haven't had a Black Cow in years! There's also a Brown Cow. I love both of them and now I want to make one. :lol:

We called them black cows, too. We also made a cream soda float from Barq'S which was red for some reason. When I moved to CA and all cream soda was yellow or Ale colored, that was new to me. Barq's a cream soda was a favorite of mine. Anyone else in my region???

Perfect kit for that, Jill.

Don't remember hearing them called Black Cows. I don't like root beer but do love a coke float made the same way. My husband and kids like root beer floats.

My grandmother waited tables at an A&W, back in the day when they had car hops, and yet I have never heard a root beer float called a black cow. Learn something new every day!

Love the layout! I especially love that flourish element. I'm forever looking for just the right die in the perfect flourish shape, but can't ever find anything exactly right. Wish I could find one like the one on your layout.

I'm with you, Carol. Coke floats all the way. And, of course, now I've discovered beer floats and I love one with a good Stout.

I liked black cows but my favorite was a 7Up float with chocolate ice cream we would make. They reminded me of the chocolate sodas I sometimes got at the old drug store soda fountain counter in my home town. How's that for dating myself? :lol:

A&W root beer floats were awesome too. Those were the days. This got me and Bob reminiscing over floats and sodas.

Sorry! Totally not the intent! :lol: My grandmother is in her late 80s (and is still a total spitfire). I know you're nowhere near her age. But my point was that if anyone in my life would have ever referred to a float as a black cow, it would have been her, but I'd never heard the expression.
