  Hi all,

   

  I'm looking for help and hopefully it's ok for me to ask here.

  I'm contemplating of including Root Beer Float into my humble Cafe's western food menu. However, I wish to find out more about the popularity of it.

  Do you love it?

  Please help me rank your choice:

  1 - I'll never try!

  2 - I'll have it at most once every 2 months!

  3 - I don't mind having it once a month!

  4 - I wish I can have it every week!

  Really appreciate all comments. e.g. price, size, toppings? etc...

  Thanks all so much in advance.

  kenny

  wow, you doing market survey here, got pay people money or not?

  kenn3th, Cafe is not up yet... so cannot confirm location.. once its up, i'll let you know ya...

  FireIce, probably using A&W root beer with unknown scooped vanilla ice cream.

  TTRU, its root beer with vanilla ice cream.

  Dondontan, you are sort of right.. hope forumer and moderator don't mind helping me a little here... Thanks in advance.

  If don't mind, I would like to ask further.. please advice.

  Sugarcane ($1.50) VS Root Beer Float ($2.00). Which one would you choose?

  Reason is I cant afford both machines(sugarcane squeezer vs additional freezer) in terms of space and cost. So i have to forego 1 of it. Thanks.

  i choose rootbeer float $2 rather than sugarcane $1.50
  sugarcane is not a cafe drink

  i go nihon mura also i will order float (usually sprite float), $2.80

  I choose root beer also. Sugar cane...... seems wrong with cream and ice-cream....

• sinicker

  depends on what i'm eating?
  
  if cafe food obviously root beer float.
  
  if ask me eat seafood, sugarcane! hahaha.

  Sugarcane float, but the sugar will kill you. Sugarcane juice has the nutrition of 6 teaspoons of sugar, and no other vitamins or minerals. I remember that from some health quiz on Singapore television.

  If its root beer float, it must be IBC(made by shweppes) brand root beer, with Max Brenner Chocolate Bar vanilla ice cream.

  Sugarcane Juice($1.50) VS Root Beer Float($2.00). which one will be your choice?

• ChoCoChips

  9 Apr 10, 03:04
