One perk of being a teacher...

For some reason, the students here still enjoy a "classroom birthday party." That means singing, napkins, and crappy cookies from Stop and Shop. But today was different. Check out what one student brought in to share. Now had I known of such a thing, I would have been buying them a long time ago!

J & J Snack Foods has taken frozen Barq's root beer, swirled it with vanilla ice cream and put it in cup and push-up pop forms for a classically summery treat.
"Everyone loves a root beer float," said Stacey Inglis-Baron, marketing manager of food service for J & J. "This is kind of an old-fashioned favorite in modern-day packaging. It's perfect for summer."


I just spent 20 shameful minutes trying to find a picture of this amazing frozen treat, but they are all embedded on some barq's fanatics' blog, so check that out:

Now they just need to bring barqs red cream soda over here. No one else sells cream soda with caffiene.
