Do you sick bastards actually eat this sugar + sugar concoction? Vile. I remember being given one when I was about 6. Nearly got sick. It baffles me.

Do you like it melted into the soda?
Do you eat the ice-cream before it melts?

Either way, it's a disgusting way of destroying two decent substances.

It's a little of both. The soda becomes creamy with part of the ice cream, and some solid ice cream remains at the bottom of the mug when the liquid is gone. The variety of textures is part of what makes it great. (the other part is that it's delicious.)

If ice cream sodas are too much for you, try a cremosa or an egg cream. They're also creamy and fizzy, but not as rich or sweet.

Why do you write sugar + sugar as though this is somehow different and worse than simply sugar? Is English not your first language? Sugar is not generally used to refer to discrete units, thus if you have some sugar and then get some more sugar, you would still just say you have some sugar, not 2 sugars.

Hope that helps clear up any confusion you had. (^:

My point is that it's one extremely sugary thing added to another extremely sugary thing.

People tend to mix things of varying sweetness - like Baked Cheesecake and fresh strawberries. Even the cookies/biscuits (UK meaning of biscuits) tend to be not as sweet. It's about balance - to me, Vanilla Coke is a vile mess of a drink as it's two sugary flavours with no tartness to cut through it. It's like mixing

What was implied is that they're both sickly flavours in the context of a sugary drink.

Caramel and Vanilla share flavour charactaristics. They're cloying when paired together. You need something tart to cut through it. Imagine having butterscotch flavoured coke?

Also, you sick bastards that like the "cherry" coke or Dr. Pepper - both piss flavoured with almond oil - are disgusting.

What. the. fuck.

I was with you with american stuff being overtly sweet, but thats just our preference man. You are dead fucking wrong on how sweetness needs to be "cut" by other flavors.

Does spice need to be cut by something bland to you? Does richness need to be cut by something light to you? Fuck off. Seriously.
