A big thank you to Pulakos Chocolates for the ice cream that made our root beer floats so special. It set the tone for a night of science, surprises, and even a few turtle friends. Visit the Pulakos location in the Colony Plaza for more ice cream 🍦🥤

Why does your root beer float foam up like that? Watch what happens when liquid (root beer), solid (ice cream), and gas (CO2 bubbles) collide in one glass.

Cool down with us this Thursday from 4:00-8:00 pm with sweet summer treat.🍦🥤
