Favorite flavor of Water Ice? (or wooder ice, as we call it)

[Patiod]

You do have water ice (not slurpees or slushees) where you live, right?

I'd have to go with Rita's Water Ice Tangerine.

1. What the heck is water ice?

I've never heard of it.

[lenidog]

3. You might know it as Italian ice

[crispini]

5. We have shaved ice.

Or snow cones, is that the same? :shrug:

[lenidog]

9. No its different

[lenidog]

2. I am pretty much boring I go for chocolate

and I try to get it from a local pizzeria where the guy who started the place still makes it. Its puts anything that Rita's makes to shame. Don't get me wrong I love Rita's too. Around here it is known as Italian ice.

4. is that like crushed ice with syrup?

[Patiod]

6. Smoother than shaved ice, but the same basic idea

My S.O. and I walked two miles last night to get one at a local independent stand - so light and cool.

Then we watched a carnival set up in the local football practice area near where we live. Bright and interesting, but a little sinister - sort of "something wicked this way comes"

14. I love weird sinister carnivals! Bet that was fun.

And as for water ice, chocolate. Also, coconut. I had it when I used to visit a boyfriend in Philly. Wish we had it here! mmmmmmmmmm

[gizmo1979]

13. kinda like a slurpy

with no slurp,more of a crunch crunch.

10. Your Avatar Should have FLAMES trailing it ! The fightin's are SO HOT!

Hey! "Wooder Ice" is the proper pronunciation in the Frank L Rizzo Dictionary:rofl:

[Patiod]

20. Damn right it's "wooder". And the Phils rock

Unfortunately, Rita's was disappointing - I think our local stand has gotten better, and Rita's has gotten worse. They used to have bits of tangerine in the water ice, and now it's just BRIGHT ORANGE.

But nothing can get me down so long as the Phils keep playing like this. God, I love Chase Utley.

[GalleryGod]

22. Get in line for Chase!

:rofl:

15. Are you from Philly?

Because that's the way we pronounced was a kid.

[TimeChaser]

16. We call it Italian Ice here...

... probably not very PC ^^ But anyways, I like Rita's cherry. And recently, they came out with a sugar-free cherry that tastes exactly the same. :)

[Dr Fate]

17. "red"

n/t

[Redstone]

18. As soon as I saw "wooder" I knew where you were from

You warsh your face with wooder, then dry it with a tal, don't you?

Then walk down the payment to shop at the Accamee?

19. Cherry. All favorite fruity sweet things are cherry.

All favorite non-fruity sweet things are chocolate.

But others are good too. As long as they are not grape. Unless it is juice. Then grape is good. Sigh. Oddness runs in the family.

23. cherry/watermelon mix.
