Title: Question
Post by: smith on March 25, 2013, 08:25:06 pm
Does any one remember the old days I am 56.There was a plastic ball with two nipples, you put a scoop of ice cream in it, one nipple in the coke bottle & u suck through the other one, like a root beer float? Any soda for that matter. All my buddies think that I am nuts. Trying to remember the name of that plastic ball. Thanks Mike

I am 50 and have to say I have never seen that one before.

I never saw that before either.  I wonder if one end had a rubber seal?  I would imagine the pop would be spilling out of the bottle without one.  Very cool, you could have crushed ice and chill your drink.

Were these things red and white... look like a large fishing bobber? Remember seeing something like what you're talking
about in an antique store years ago... Coke made them.

They were called an Astro-Float from the 1950s...Petretti's 9th edition (older) Coke price guide. pg 265- $5.
On ebay for around $20
