Over the weekend I took my husband to the farmer's market to get some fresh fruits and veggies and I was excited to see the SnOw OnO truck when we pulled into the parking lot. I love snow cones and I love shaved ice even more....
For those of you scratching your head and thinking 'They are the same thing' no, they are not... Snow cones use crushed ice, shaved ice is much lighter/finer. Shaved ice is more snow like then a snow cone, despite the name...
SnOw OnO sells three sizes of shaved ice and you can select up to 3 flavors from a plethora of different options. They also have some premade concoctions. My husband decided to try one of these, the Rasta Mon which was pineapple, lime and tiger's blood. I decided to get my own creation with watermelon, green apple and honeydew melon. I also had a light amount of the sour spray added to mine (the spray is an additional $.50). Remember warhead candies? That is what this sour spray is like. Makes your mouth pucker (like bitter beer face, haha) but still tastes so good.
We each got a small ($3) which was plenty for us to enjoy, and share. I had to try my husband's, both the pineapple and tiger's blood flavors were super good. The person that helped us was very sweet, she gave us business cards so we can follow them on Twitter which I am definitely going to do so I can try more of the flavors...
