Just as the name suggests, Trader Joe's new Root Beer Float Bars deliver all the creamy, fizzy goodness of a root beer float, but in the cool and refreshing form of a [frozen popsicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trolli-gummi-pops). The new product is conducted like an [orange and cream bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dairy-ice-cream-bars) with 50% root beer-flavored ice pops on the outside and 50% vanilla ice cream on the inside. This allows you to enjoy that sweet, sarsaparilla-y flavor of soda and the creaminess of vanilla in every bite. Unfortunately, this delicious new summer treat is not dairy-free or vegan, but it's still sure to be a crowd-pleasing summer treat that caters to kids and adults alike.
