They do shaved ice with that sticky sweet corn syrup flavoring and besides out side of Philadelphia they look at you like you got 5 heads when you say water ice
Ritas markets as Italian Ice as you go south of Wilmington

Yeah but there isn't any reason it can't be made here right ? I know that with the water its tough to get good bread but I can't see why you couldn't push good water ice

Re: Viejo

all kinds of Itailan ice places all over the country....just some better than others....

They even have them in Thailand where they put toppings on them like fresh fruit and candies...

But nothing compares to Ritas....

Buskie...I used to have the rights to Tastykake in Las Vegas when I lived there....just got too damned hot in the summer even though I got it shipped in frozen...worked too hard for too little money...that's when the town was only around 300,000 people...

Re: Viejo

1983..I had three trucks and a partner...Hostess did everything in their power to bury us and the markets wanted kickbacks for shelf space....worked too many hours....

We had a lot of great ideas to make it work but not enough cash to get things done the right way...my business skills were lacking....

Vegas still has a few places that still have TastyKakes...
