Our goal is to serve you the best product. We hope that you never confuse our
snoballs with the typical snow cone that you get at the fair. If you think that our
Monkey Ice is just like the snow cones you are used to, then we haven't done our job.
Monkey Ice, Shaved Ice, Snoball
• Shaved ice is made with fine, fresh snow that is shaved with either a cubed ice shaver
or a block ice shaver. Ice is never crunchy.
• Often served in various sizes in foam, paper or squat cups. The shaved ice is often
rounded on top of the cup. Usually served with a spoonstraw and a spoon.
• Most commonly called Hawaiian Shaved Ice throughout the United States, Sno-Balls
(New Orleans), Shave Ice (Hawaii) or Shaver (North Carolina). And of course it is now
called Monkey Ice in South Carolina.
• Usually offered with a variety of flavors numbering from 20 to more than 70
• Typically sold at neighborhood roadside shaved ice stands, mobile carts, trailers or
vehicles, carnivals and other festivals.
• Ice is shaved as ordered. It cannot be shaved in advance.
Snow Cone
• Snow Cones are made from snow cone machines that crush ice cubes (bag ice) into
small pellets. Snow cones are never made with block ice machines.
• Ice is crunchy.
• When flavor is added to ice, the flavor often runs to the bottom of the cup.
• Often served in one or two sizes. The most common is a 6 ounce cone type cup. The
ice is often rounded on top of the cone. Usually served without a spoon.
• Ice is crushed ahead of time and dipped with a special nylon snow cone dipper.
• Usually sold at carnivals, county fairs, school events, festivals or concession stands
• Usually offered with a limited number of flavors, between 2 to 5.
