I don't remember ever telling my husband that I used to love orange creamsicles, but he seemed to figure it out because he brought home the all new Sunkist Float he found at 7-11.  This is like an orange creamsicle in a bottle... and it's great!

Sunkist Float is a mix of sunkist orange soda combined with creamy ice cream flavor.  It's best when it's chilly, but it's not a frozen drink.  One bottle holds 11.5 oz of the yummy drink.  I actually like the glass bottle with a twist off cap a lot because I feel like I could reuse it.  It's a sturdy bottle and if we do reuse it, great, if not, it is recyclable.

There are only 1.5 grams of fat and 260 calories and 64 carbs.  The creamy flavor comes from skim milk which is one of the main ingredients.  It definitely tastes like a creamsicle to me except not nearly as cold!  Plus, I feel like I got more out of this than I usually do with a creamsicle and one bottle could easily satisfy my dessert craving.

For $1.79 a bottle it is a little more expensive than a can of soda from a machine, but it tastes a lot better.  I wouldn't drink this daily but maybe once every few weeks as a treat.  I'm also looking forward to trying the A&W Floats this company also makes.

If you are looking for a dessert you can enjoy without a fork, this is the one to get!  It goes down smooth and you would actually believe this was a dessert!  I enjoyed it a lot and you should too.  Look for it at 7-11 or see if you can find it anywhere else.  Enjoy!!

Can you eat just one potato chip? I can't stop drinking the Sunkist float until the bottle is empty; less than one minute. Very good!

i honestly think this drink sucks, it was WAY too sweet, it taste more like melted ice cream [which is nasty] it was a good effort to try to bring this drink out but for 1.75 a bottle you can buy sunkist and vanilla ice cream and make 8+ floats for the price of 3 bottles of that stuff.

I've never had one but remember hearing about them. I actually haven't had a Sunkist Float in a long time (had only a few more since wrote this) but I have been sort of craving one. I love Sunkist soda already so that might be why I liked this so much. You should write your own review (if you haven't already) sharing the thoughts you shared with me. Thanks for reading!!

The thing I was HOPING this tasted like when I first bought it (last week at a local Publix Supermarket) was Orange Julius. Anyone older than 30 has GOT to remember Orange Julius -- it was like a drinkable creamsicle in a cup. I was addicted to those as a kid.
Sadly, the Sunkist Float doesn't quite measure up. It's not fizzy enough and a little too sweet -- and this coming from someone who has a sweet-tooth the size of her entire body.

Sounds like it would be tasty, but the calories for a drink would be hard for me to take!
