I've never had this shaved ice thing before. In my mind it was just ground up ice cubes which is how we made it when I was a kid. Either that or a generic gas station slushie. It's this whole other thing though. It's like thin slivers of ice folded onto itself. It really does give an illusion of ice cream.
I got a kids size which was overfilled and quite a lot more food than it looks. I think it was under $3 which sounds fair. The monster size just looks ridiculous.
I was looking at websites for similar businesses. Some of them have sugar-free toppings which would be nice here. Overall though, there were tons of toppings. Sugar overload.
They accept credit cards (for a small extra fee) which can be convenient for people like me who rarely carry cash.
I just got some vanilla flavoring with it and that was it, but even with the limited topping it was fantastic.
