<v Speaker 1>Hello, Welcome to the Stupid Instrum Minute. I'm your host, KEB. Pound.

2
00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:12.919
<v Speaker 1>Today we're talking about root beer floats. The root beer

3
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:18.679
<v Speaker 1>float was invented by accident or maybe desperation. In August

4
00:00:18.679 --> 00:00:22.879
<v Speaker 1>eighteen ninety three, Frank J. Wisner, owner of Cripple Creek

5
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:26.199
<v Speaker 1>Brewing in Colorado, ran out of cream while serving root beer.

6
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:30.239
<v Speaker 1>Looking for a substitute, he scooped vanilla ice cream into

7
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:33.799
<v Speaker 1>the glass instead. The combination was an incident hit, and

8
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:38.039
<v Speaker 1>he named it the Black Cow. Over time, the drink

9
00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:41.520
<v Speaker 1>became known as the root beer Float and spread across America,

10
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:47.520
<v Speaker 1>becoming the summertime favorite at diners, soda fountains, and backyard cookouts.

11
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Proof that sometimes the sweetest inventions happen when you're out

12
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.079
<v Speaker 1>of ingredients. This has been the Stupid History Minute, and
