Thanks to all who replied.  I'm still shaking my head.  But I think the
possibilities are covered.  The mug did come out of the freezer
so it is possible that changed the rootbeer.  I had wondered if
carbonization was a factor.

I'll go back next week and see if I can reproduce the result.
If the ice sinks in the frosted mug, I'll get another in the
standard paper cup.

Uh oh, I'm starting to see all the combinations...
Where are those damn Mythbusters when you need 'em?
