Talk:Snow cone

message: Can someone with a bit more knowledge add something about Singapore's very similar ice kachangs? --Breathstealer 13:59, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Opening comment 

message: This article deals too much with the United States' view on snow cones, and does not have a global point of view. 
I agree with Breathstealer in that Sinagporean/Malaysian Ice Kacangs should be mentioned on- and linked to this page.
:I personally don't know anything about snow cones outside of the US, but if you know something that should be in the article, then please be bold and make changes to the article.  --Brandon Dilbeck 14:51, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

text: The problem is that some snow cones, or whatever you want to call them, are made from shaved iced.  I'm redirecting here until we have enough material for separate pages.  We are basically talking about regional cuisine variations. —Viriditas | Talk 22:08, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

message: pir = pyramid and agua = water? Someone made this up. Piraguas are named such obviously because after the piragua man has scraped a few servings off the ice block, it looks like a canoe, or "piragua" in Spanish. Duh. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.186.191.23 (talk) 15:06, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Whatever happened to the separation of the church and the state? Oh ... what am I saying ... let me rephrase ... whatever happened to the separate identities of the Blue Coconut and the White Coconut? Can we add them under the item Coconut? Just wondering ...

message: It seems to me the Baltimore Snowball is very similar to the New Orleans variety. (Neither being snow cones >ick!< of course) Does anyone know if they are identical? --Knulclunk (talk) 12:03, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

message: "Nina enjoying a "Piragua" in Puerto Rico" I don't understand this. Is this image text referring to a person named Nina? If so, why?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Apoyon (talk • contribs) 13:51, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

This article has a photo of a rainbow snow cone smashed on the ground instead of one of the glorious Snoopy Snow Cone Machine! That just ain't right! BillyTFried (talk) 11:47, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Under the Flavors section, there are several movie/fictional characters that don't have any context linked to them
Popular Mixes
*Batman
*Ghostbusters
*Smurf
*Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
It would be nice if there was a little bit more substance than just the names here.  Is it a reference to the colors used, marshmallows in the Ghostbusters?  What are other peoples thoughts? --70.137.164.191 (talk) 08:56, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Frankly, I don't understand why there is a list of flavors at all. Considering these things are syrup poured over shaved ice, you can make any flavor conceivable. The list would literally be endless. Until and unless there is a governmental body to regulate snow cone flavors, we should refrain from unnecessary lists. I've deleted it altogether. -69.47.186.70 (talk) 07:06, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The article incorrectly states that in Dominican Republic Frio Frio and Yun Yun are the same thing. While a Frio Frio is a Snow Cone, a Yun Yun is actually a Slushee. I have proceeded to edit this entry. --Zavreio (talk) 02:26, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  To be more specific, the difference is that while the snow cone is flavored after the ice has been scraped, the Yun Yun does not involve any scraping and is already flavored before serving. --Zavreio (talk) 02:30, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge snowball/snow cone with shaved ice? 

message: There is Snow cone, Granizado, Shaved ice, Shave ice and in each one there are descriptions of the same stuff as named in other countries (ie. references from each one to the latin-american granizado as a variation of the item of the article).  In the end all are flavored ice desserts! A big rework is needed, too much of du-tri-quatplicity. But I see from a vote 10 years ago that there are strong sentiments related to this.  I would propose to merge everything to Shaved ice and keep the localization explanations itemized or as sections if there too much sentimental attachment to some (I don't care about my granizados, but Kakigōri might need its own section as it has a very specific own article, other variations might have one). --Roqz (talk) 23:50, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

message: "X or bust" seems to be a pretty obvious snowcone, but I can't find any sources outside dictionaries that refer to it or provide examples that are common in the media ; e.g. Hollywood or Bust, Badger or Bust, Rock or Bust World Tour, etc. Can anyone else?
