Which soda fountain favorite has nothing to do with its name?
Answer Egg cream
Of these fountain favorites from a bygone era, the chocolate malted, root beer float, and banana split are pretty much self-explanatory — not so for our friend the egg cream. Concocted of carbonated water, milk, and either chocolate or vanilla syrup, you will find neither eggs nor cream in the recipe. There are dozens of explanations as to why, but the most popular is that this is a cheaper, war-time copycat of a drink made with real eggs and cream before the war.
