Default Snow Cone Machine

There is a Rival Snow Cone machine for 14.88 in my Walmart. They have assorted flavors of syrup ....1 is sugar free carb free Cherry. I know people like to stay away from sweets completly but I need them to stay on this WOL and I know there are people out there eating them! So It is FAB, love it. You can try other things beside the SF cherry over the shaved ice like a "Farmers Soda"(heavy cream and diet soda) OR I just made a Mikes Light lem Lime cooler over the ice with a spash of the SF Cherry WOW 1 carb. You can have it at the picnics and feel like you are still part of the party. Yummy with crabs this weekend!!!

We bought one, too. Our Wal Mart has sugar-free blue raspberry, too. It is even better than the cherry. We also like to make lime ices. Just squeese half a lime over a large cup of the shaved ice and sprinkle Morton's Lite Salt over it. You are getting vitamin C and Potassium and very little carbs or calories. Yum so good and helps cool you off which we definitely need here with temps in the upper 90's and beyond lately.

I bought one for while I was in induction! I would put diet caffiene free diet coke on it and it got me through many tough nights! Now, on occassion, I throw a sugar free 100% juice pop in it and the treat is heavenly! Money well spent!

I think it does! I had bought a hand cranker that gave me chunks...yuk...but this one...the ice just melts in my mouth! I don't know about the syrups because I have never used them! Sorry!

We bought one this past weekend. I don't know tho I have been on a sno-cone bender lol. The sweetner in the SF is aspertame. I have averaged 3-5 a day I mean ADDICTED. I may need to give em up. Isn't too much aspertame bad for me? BTW It crushes the ice very fine. We went for the $15 one but bought the $24 DH liked that it caught the ice and you didn't have to hold a glass there and wait for it to fill. But they both crush fantastic.

I have a Rival shaved ice machine. I love it....for syrup I simply use Torani Sugar free or DaVinci Sugar Free. These are both sweetened with Splenda and come in tons of sugar free flavors. It's the bomb!

The only davincis my walmart has is vanilla, irish cream and some other weird flavor. None of which would make a good sno-cone unfortunatly. Wonder why they can't get some simple cherry flavored syrup or somthing.
