I honestly don't even like ice cream much, but I love rootbeer floats. Something about how the ice cream disintegrates and turns to slush is awesome. Milk + rootbeer isn't quite the same, but it still gets the creamy flavor.
It's certainly not a universal thing, and I know plenty of people who will take them both separately instead of together.
Wait, this has a name!? It’s better with the coffee creamers that usually come next to the vending machine. Also better if you use Dr. Pepper. Tastes like an ice cream float.
(I actually like the taste of Monster/some other energy drinks, and while I'm pretty sure this tastes like shit I feel the idea is sound if you can find the right beer+energy drink combo. Good ol' rocket fuel radler - seems like a noble quest)
King Cobra + Four Loko is the one I know, it's called a Hyper Viper. I've tried other combinations and they all taste the same, so I'd just go for thematic or pun-based combos.
They’re making an Irish car bomb joke, which is a little weird as there is already a cocktail with that name made by mixing Irish cream, whisky, and Guinness.
When I drank Guinness from a can for the first time, I had no idea it contained a little plastic ball. So at first, I thought the can had been tainted. When I found out that it must have been added at the factory, I became really annoyed by that damn ball.
That night, I had a vivid dream of drinking Guinness from a glass and the plastic ball had turned into a fly that kept diving back into the beer as soon as I fished it out. The whole time, Grandfather Westinghouse played in the background.
Pointless story, I know...
It's normally used in alcohol specifically to refer to liquid with low fermentable sugars remaining, typically meant that it's been fermented "fully". Beers like Japanese lagers have both low fermentable and (mostly) non fermentable sugars left (and are tasty)
The reason the drinks aren't mixing is probably because of the density difference. Which fun fact actually why wrecks I the black sea preserve so well, the lower level fresh water never mixed with the high fresh water.
Sure I used to do that with Guinness Stout and Guinness Blonde. I liked how the flavors changed when you got to the bottom. Then they started making the blonde in the US and it turned in to a undrinkable IPA. I could no longer get the real thing. It went from a perfect complement to the stout to a bitter sir hops alot. It was nothing like the real thing(from Dublin) and I quit drinking them.

But you've gotta make sure you get the one with lead in it; the non-leaded stuff's just rubbish and really knocks down the quality.

I like rootbeer+milk, which basically tastes like melted rootbeer float. Pepsi+milk is probably similar.

I have heard that, too. Unfortunately, my taste buds are defective because I don't like rootbeer floats. 😮💨
Doesn't even make sense. I like ice cream. I like rootbeer. Why can't I enjoy ice cream in rootbeer?

Less/No sugar. The dryness of a beverage is about the sugar content/sweetness. Though, I've usually only seen it applied to alcohol.

Sure I used to do that with Guinness Stout and Guinness Blonde. I liked how the flavors changed when you got to the bottom. Then they started making the blonde in the US and it turned in to a undrinkable IPA. I could no longer get the real thing. It went from a perfect complement to the stout to a bitter sir hops alot. It was nothing like the real thing(from Dublin) and I quit drinking them.
