Living in the modern era can be complicated. On the one hand, we face questions about technology, ethics, and society that previous generations could never have imagined. On the other hand, modernity does occasionally produce snacks and sweets that previous generations could never have imagined, as well. Take Trader Joe’s’s Root Beer Float Cookie Pieces, for instance. This marvel of the modern age takes the experience of enjoying a sweet and creamy Root Beer Float, and distills it into a confection-coated sandwich Cookie—complete with ng candy to simulate the feeling of carbonation!

Fun, flavorful, and even a little fizzy, each Root Beer Float Cookie Piece starts with a vanilla sandwich Cookie, filled with ng candy-imbued vanilla crème, which our supplier enrobes in a toothsome, remarkably Root Beer-reminiscent candy coating. They make excellent sweet treats on their own. If you want to get a little postmodern, they also act as a magnificently meta topping when crumbled over a real root beer float.
