Root Beer Float Revival: ALDI Saves Seasonal Favorite from Extinction

Nellah Bailey McGough had been on a low-carb diet for a year, forcing her to give up regular Coca-Cola. She tried various flavored sparkling waters but missed the taste of her favorite soft drink.

A friend recommended Waterloo's Root Beer Float, available at Whole Foods. McGough purchased one case, which she enjoyed immensely, crediting Guy Fieri for partnering with Waterloo to create this unique 'Root Beer' flavor with zero sugar or sweeteners.

The flavor was initially a seasonal offering, and McGough bought multiple cases due to concerns it would soon be unavailable. However, after months of searching, she found the Root Beer Float at ALDI, where her husband discovered more stock on hand.
