#Ice cream float full

After a quick trip to Safeway, I’ve got the fridge stocked with Coke Zero and whipped cream, the pantry full of a variety of OREO cookies (my hubby’s fave!), and the freezer stocked with ice cream (vanilla for me). And that’s what brings everyone back – awesome tournament time snacks.

When the upsets do happen, first there’s yelling and screaming at the TV, then there’s a sense of shock and disbelief that fills the room, then there’s silence plus a hint of depression (except for those who were pulling for that outlier), and finally everyone heads for the kitchen for snacks. Whether it’s the notorious #12 seeds upsetting the #5 seeds, or a complete outlier taking down the top dog, upsets are a fun yet infuriating part of the tournament. And one of those things happens with each game – the favorite walks away with it, or the underdog pulls off the upset. Or the team that pulls off the greatest upset of the tourney. As each of us holds our breath, crosses our fingers, hopes (and prays?) that our team makes that last minute three pointer, we’re desperately wanting to be the team that holds up to its ranking. It’s why we all gather around yelling and screaming at the TVs (all three or four or five of them that may be on at any given time). And nothing is more soothing after a tournament upset than a Coke Zero Ice Cream Float piled high with whipped cream and topped with OREO Cookies.īut it’s the upsets that keep it all interesting. But there’s one thing we all agree on – no matter which team wins or loses or gets upset, everyone loves great tournament time snacks. So as you might imagine, things can get a bit tense by mid-March. We’ve got parents from the Carolinas and the northwest. We’ve got people in the family who went to college in Arizona, South Bend, Texas, Tennessee, California, and Illinois. It’s all pretty calm in the beginning – very civilized. March is crazy around here. There are brackets to fill out, statistics to brush up on, pools to buy into, and multiple flat screen TVs carrying all of the best games – the month of The Big Tournament! Woo hoo! Basketball is a long standing favorite past time in our household, and it doesn’t get much better than the madness that March brings. and its advertisers on this post featuring Coca-Cola Zero™ and OREO to bring you the awesome Coke Zero Ice Cream Float!
