Philly...oh well...leave something for the next poster

 

[loup garou]

WTF is water ice? Isn't all ice made of water?

Ok, nm...found it. Seems to be some yankee ripoff of a snowball.

No, it is something you buy at Best Buy B&M. Be careful, though. The checkout price will be twice what the shelf price it.

BadBuy and BadBuy.com, we luv y0u! ~!!!!

FREEZING DEAL!!!!

I love rita's waterice... Its ashame its such crappy weather here in philly today.

 

[msh111]

Wish they would put it off for a day, its freezing, raining, and just plain miserable for the first day of spring here, and I would love a free Rita's. Don't need cooling off OR thirst quenching here!

The Rita's just outside Pittsburgh here are giving away free medium ices of any flavor! It is a shame that it's cloudy and about 45 degrees here....

 

[HelloBrother]

Yup - bad day here for a free water ice...free water from the sky since last night

 

[dentalboy]

none near ny?, free? but too cold and wet for this rita water ice

 

[hudster]

oops (I think this was my very first double-post ever )

<< WTF is water ice? Isn't all ice made of water? >>

well, this is so it doesn't get confused with Rita's Dry Ice ( although I never had one of those)

and yeah, I agree, it does sound stupid IMO. Like, for breakfast, I certainly don't make 'bread toast', do I? No, I just make toast!

p.s. btw, this is a cooool deal (or maybe it's sooo hot that it just feels cold, you know what I mean? )

Sweet...when did they get Fruit Punch? I'm gonna have to check that out

werk - if you don't know what a water ice is, then surely you don't know what a hoagie is!

Not sure if you have them in supermarkets ice cream section, but these are similar to Italian Ices you may find there. Originally were lemon ices and cherry ices, but have evolved over the years to all kinds of flavors. My personal favorite is chocolate.

Hoagie lessons upon request....

<< then surely you don't know what a hoagie is >>


Yeah, I know what a hoagie is...it's a yankee ripoff of a poboy.

It's a ripoff of a what?!?!? How about Pierogies do you know what they are?

 

[JasonH]

Damn, I forgot all about this. I got my freebie last year (two, actually) and I remember it fondly because the weather was great. The weather here today was horrible. It was worth missing the free water ice just to not have to go outside.

Yeah, it's a yankee ripoff of a dumpling.

LOL!

*high fives fletch*

It's all in good fun.

Oh, BTW, my favorite snowball is chocolate with condensed milk, my favorite poboy is 1/2 shrimp 1/2 oyster, and I looooove chicken and dumplings.

Funk water ice... spend a couple bucks and get a gelati. On the other topic -- calling a pierogi a Yankee dumpling is like calling air a solid.

Ya really Pierogies are sooooo much better then dumplings.

Friend of mine used to work at a rita's, they used to piss in the lemon flavored. Enjoy all.

Rita's is most excellent, I am just sad that I am in school in Virginia and can not partake of this most awesome feast of flavored goodness Well, I can't believe, when talking about all things Philly, the most wonderful cheesesteak has yet to be mentioned. Man, my mouth waters at the thought of A nice foot long cheesesteak and the dessert of a nice cold rita's water ice.... mmmm, waterice
