What ice cream floats can you get from fast-food chains?

Jollibee

The ol' happy bee has the classic Coke-and-soft-serve combination available, with prices starting at P57 according to their delivery website. We know you probably miss their coffee and choco floats—we do, too—so fingers crossed they bring those back!

McDonald's

You likely tried out McDonald's fruity new drink alongside their limited-time only Spicy McWings, and now they've amped it up by offering it as a float. Dubbed the Sprite X PeaChee Fruit Fizz, you can get this peach-lychee-citrus soda mix with soft serve starting at P58. That's a mix of creamy, sweet, and refreshing that deserves a spot on your "must-try" list. 

If you want to go the classic route, McDonald's Coke McFloat starts at P79.

Burger King

BK keeps things close to the original with floats of either Coke or A&W Rootbeer (the soda your parents probably knew as Sarsaparilla). Rootbeer floats are a fave of ours, with the more unique taste of the syrupy drink matching incredibly well with soft serve; you can get that treat for P73 or the Coke version at P63. 

Now if you're more into the caffeine hit of coffee, then take note that Burger King also currently has an affogato-style series. The Italian dessert gets a BK twist thanks to their signature joe: You can get their Sweet Black (P109), Vanilla (P119), and even the Mocha brew (P119) with a scoop of their ice cream in. With how much we miss the old BK Joe Frost, we're sure this is going to be a new staple in our fast-food meals.

Popeye's

Popeye's keeps things classic with a Coke Float (P65). What they do different with their ice cream though is that they've got their fluffy pancakes a la mode style. That means dessert is pretty much solved with their pancakes topped with soft serve, and drizzled with either chocolate or caramel for P109. 

Shakey's

If you've ever ordered Shakey's milkshakes, then you know they take their ice-cream drinks very seriously. True to their American-style diner spirit, their ice cream floats are also on another level. Their classic A&W Rootbeer float comes in a heavy, chilled beer mug, with a scoop of extra creamy vanilla ice cream. They've also got it a Coke version if that's more your thing! As of writing, the two floats are at a special price of P99. Just note that since they do take these floats seriously, they're only available for dine-in.

KFC

KFC keeps things straightforward with soft serve on top of your classic Coke—but they are the only fast-food we say that'll do the same thing for other bubblies. You can get a float on your Coke, or even Coke Zero (but there's something to be said about the sugar goals there) for P55, or even on Royal or Sprite. This is perfect for the people that like the flavors of cream and citrus together.
