We’ve eaten some…questionable things in Disney World.
We once had a drink with an Octopus Tentacle in it, after all. We’ve even indulged in Gummy Mac ‘n’ Cheese. Most recently, it was the Pickle Shake that had everyone talking. However, as strange as those snacks might have been, we may have just found the most disgusting thing of all.
So, if you’ve followed us for a while, you know we like to play with our food. Meaning that we love seeing what we can combine to make tasty treats even tastier. Well, we decided to do the OPPOSITE of that, and we paired together some things that, well, probably should NOT be paired together. But we did it. Because we could. And for science. So, our experiment took us to Sunshine Tree Terrace.
At Sunshine Tree Terrace, you can get a float with a variety of beverages, including Barq’s Root Beer, Coca-Cola, Fanta Orange soda, Fanta Strawberry soda, Powerade Mountain Berry Blast, or Sprite, served with your choice of Dole Whip or soft serve. Now, to make it an official float, you can pair any of those drinks with vanilla, chocolate, Dole Whip Orange, Citrus Swirl, Orange Cream, or Dole Whip Strawberry soft serve.
In the past, we’ve tried combining Citrus Swirl with the Powerade Mountainberry float, but this time, we felt like getting a little weird. So we got the Powerade Mountain Berry Blast Float with Chocolate Soft-Serve. Yes, we really did it.
Here’s the thing, though. Separately, the Powerade and the Chocolate soft serve are good. So, if you drink it fast, you might get just the Powerade flavor before the ice cream melts and blends into it. But when they inevitably melt together, that’s when things get…well…bad.
This is Florida, so you know that ice cream melted FAST. The result is something too weird for words; you just have to trust us. Because once the ice cream becomes liquid, it’s like drinking Powerade and chocolate milk at the same time. But the flavors don’t even mix, so each sip gives you a confusing blast of BOTH flavors. It doesn’t help that the ice cream served at Sunshine Tree Terrace already has a subpar fake chocolate taste.
We got ✨creative✨ with our Disney World snack this afternoon! This is a Powerade Mountain Berry Blast Float with chocolate ice cream. We tried it for $5.99! pic.twitter.com/wvdk1G6nS0

Our little experiment cost us $5.99, so now we can inform you that if you get that Powerade float, do NOT get it with chocolate soft serve. We do this for you, people. Instead, we recommend getting the Citrus Swirl with the Powerade Mountainberry float — it’s a MUCH BETTER treat.

Jean says
I was told by the wonderful nurses at the first aid booth at Magic Kingdom (after getting heat stroke on a fairly cool day) that I should drink some Powerade each day to help prevent the above mentioned issue. This might be a fun way to get some and “play with food” at the same time. The chocolate issue is noted and I will stick to more compatible experiments.
