Snow Cone

I love me some Rita's Ice. Very tasty and lots of flavors. I like the shake version when they mix the custard and the ice together. My wife prefers them separate in a float.

Thanks, but I don't care for Rita's, either. Will just have to wait until we make a trip up, I guess

Someone had asked about who had the best sugar free cones - BB or SCL. I can tell you that SCL has this one hands down. The sugar free at BB tastes really artificial - it's a strong "diet-like" taste. It's seriously so strong, I almost couldn't choke my sugar free strawberry cheesecake down. I thought it might've just been that particular flavor, so next time I tried the sugar free birthday cake, but it was the same yucky taste. On the flip side, the SCL sugar free is yummy! I even get sugar free for the kiddos & they can't tell the difference. She mixes her syrups up herself & they taste much fresher & don't have that "diet-like" bite.

I personally like the shaved ice smoothness & consistency at BB better than the chunkier ice from SCL, but the service, wait, & price at BB stinks. So, I will keep my business at SCL.

That's weird, because I tried SCL sugar free once, and I thought it was very saccharine-y and lots of diet aftertaste. Maybe I need to try again.

Just saw a new Snow Cone stand next to the car wash at Ohio and Hillcrest.

Yup, and glad to see it's getting a little more traffic. I don't think they did much, if any, advertising.
