Andy9o8 2 #34 March 10, 2006 Water ice (a/k/a Italian ice) is most definitely NOT a goddam snow cone. (A snow cone is just shaved ice with syrup poured over it. Much like pissing in the snow.) Water ice is a frozen dessert in which the ice is mechanically blended with the flavoring. It's very smooth, kind of similar in consistency to sherbet, but there's no milk in it. It's popular in southern New Jersey and the Philadelphia area. As for the redundant name "water ice"? I dunno, probably blame it on the Italian immigrants 100 years ago.

PLFXpert 0 #42 March 10, 2006 We have an Italian Ice stand here at the beaches, too.

PLFXpert 0 #49 March 10, 2006 Yep, that's what we have here. And nowhere on the menu does it say "water ice". In fact, on that website when you look at the selection it specifcally says "Italian ices" but I did see once I clicked on "own a Rita's" it said "water ice" I think that's crapPaint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
