If you were a kid around 1984, odds are you saw an advert for the Peanuts Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine. Its distinctive design resulted in a popular toy in which, as far as I can tell, Snoopy joined both Devo and the food service industry. Preserving the original character art, this reissue of the old toy retains the same functionality, which is satisfying your uncontrollable urge for a snow cone! This set should have everything you need but the ice. You're going to have to find a way to make that yourself. Perhaps you can mine some from the wilds of the Arctic Ocean, for example.
Believe your eyes-- the Snoopy Sno Cone Machine is back! First introduced in America in 1979, the ever-popular Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine is a unique product that gives you and your family the ability to transform simple ice cubes into delicious and colorful Sno-cones, bringing the yummy taste of real snow cones into your very own kitchen. You'll have heaps of fun making tasty treats with Snoopy and his friends. Includes Sno-cone maker, 1 syrup bottle, 1 package of cherry Fla-Vor-Aid mix, 3 paper cups, and an ice scoop. It even comes in the retro-style packaging! Measures 14 1/4-inches tall x 12 3/4-inches wide x 3 1/2-inches long.
Snow cones are cold desserts typically made of packed, shaved ice flavored with colored, sugary, often fruit-flavored syrup. They are served like an ice cream cone or in a dish for eating with a spoon. Another variation (called a "stuffed" snow cone) includes a layer of soft-serve vanilla ice cream inside.
