@hippiechik I would preface this with the word "cold". They asked for the BEST summer cool down treat.. Room temperature beer is a slightly less than acceptible cool down treat, but COLD BEER is the best :)
@earlyre more Specifically, Tim Horton's Iced Capp. it's more of a coffee slushie, as opposed to some other places that just pour coffee and milk over a glass of ice cubes.
@shiftace "It is a curious fact, and one to which no-one knows quite how much importance to attach, that something like 85 percent of all known worlds in the Galaxy, be they primitive or highly advanced, have invented a drink called jynnan tonyx, or gee-N'N-T'N-ix, or jinond-o-nicks, or any one of a thousand variations on this phonetic theme. The drinks themselves are not the same, and vary between the Sivolvian ‘chinanto/mnigs’ which is ordinary water served just above room temperature, and the Gagrakackan 'tzjin-anthony-ks’ which kills cows at a hundred paces; and in fact the only one common factor between all of them, beyond the fact that their names sound the same, is that they were all invented and named before the worlds concerned made contact with any other worlds."
@ThatsHeadly gonna go out on a limb here and guess Douglas Adams? :) I read the first few Hitchhiker's books but never finished them, much to my detriment.
@nickiwhite Seriously. How the hell did they include 'snow cone or shaved ice' and not include real actual water (Italian) ice? Snow cones and shaved ice are basically the same thing, a scoop of ice with some flavored syrup. Real Italian Ice is frozen as it's blended, often in a soft serve style machine.
@nickiwhite I have always contended that "water ice" might be the dumbest product name ever. The definition of "ice" is "frozen water", so "water ice" is just "ice".
meh
