This is partially why Rita's makes me a little ill. The artificial colors, throbbing in their frozen case. My tongue seemed permanently dyed. The flavors are equally as distributing.
Don't get me wrong-- Rita's Italian Ice has it's place. Kids love it, adults in need of some refreshment from the 105-degree summer heat do too. But The flavors are so cloyingly fake and sweet, my husband and I couldn't finish half our ice.
(Swedish Fish are disgusting enough, but take a waxy fish-shaped candy, infuse it into sugar and water? Who came up with this idea?)
In addition to the ice, you can get frozen custard. Maybe I've been spoiled living in the Midwest, where frozen custard is taken very seriously. (Sheridans BTW is by far the BEST FC place in KC, it's made fresh every day) The fro-cust here has a bit of a waxy feel.
For those who don't know real frozen custard, this will suffice. For those in need of an artificial taste/color explosion, yeah, it'll do. (I myself enjoy a Popsicle band Bomb Pop on occasion.) Enjoy, but proceed with caution.
