I was thirsty for a slushy, and I stopped here. There slushy is a smooth ice slushy, I like the chopped ice slushy. But I drank it, of course. It felt good on my throat. My nephew had a vanilla peanut butter on a cone, hard ice cream. Didn't stand long on his cone it fell over, got him a spoon and cup, and he enjoyed it.
