📜 History
The Purple Cow is an American soda fountain classic, a variation of the ice cream float using grape soda. The name comes from the famous 1895 poem by Gelett Burgess: "I never saw a purple cow, I never hope to see one." The whimsical combination of grape soda and vanilla ice cream became a favorite at American soda fountains and drive-ins, representing the playful creativity of mid-century American beverage culture.
