tanukichu Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 It's the first day of spring and Rita's gives out free water ice. I forgot they did this until I walked by a Rita's on my way back from work. Stoked! I got me some mango water ice. This also means they're open for the season so yay gelati! I might hit up another Rita's on my way home from the computer lab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicker Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 isnt ice already water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanukichu Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 I've never heard it called water ice anywhere outside of Philly but it's like flavored ice, a but more slush than a snow cone... Italian ice I think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divaface Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 it was cold today and that defeats the purpose of water ice in my mind. i'll wait until it feels like spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benchwarmer Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 water ice? doesn't it sort of have to be one or the other, not both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divaface Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 water ice is like a mix between italian ice and a slushie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burdenx Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 water ice? doesn't it sort of have to be one or the other, not both? it sounds like it's just specifying what the ice is made out of (ex. water ice, kool aid ice, urine ice, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanukichu Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 This stuff. I guess "water ice" really is a regional thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't care so much as I immediately took mine inside. I've been craving the mango ice all this week. I just forgot they gave it out for free today.

kirbypuckett Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Water Ice is the weirdest name I've ever heard. ITALIAN ICE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggle Von Swift Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 very bummed on the new 'mystery ice' flavor. was excited going into it, thinking of how good the Airhead mystery flavor is and was let down so went with cherry then mango when i went to a different one later and Philadelphia Water Ice Company is much much much better than Ritas.
