A snow cone is a frozen dessert made of shaved ice and
placed in a paper cone holder.
After the scoop of ice is put in the cone, it is covered with
flavored syrup- sno cone syrup.

Thanks.

Sounds quite chemical to me - like aritificial flavour, sugar,
artificial
colour and nothing else?

You've got it, exactly.

OK.

Now I have to ask

Dumb Scandinavians, you know.

WHAT IS SNO CONE SYRUP??

My curiosity is killing me :-)

On that note, my sister's neighbor told her today
that she "couldn't understand those people who
only gave their babies water and not something
good like apple juice", so maybe it's more common
than I thought to believe flavored drinks are in
some way necessary. To train the kids for
Kool-Aid and Dr. Pepper later, I guess.

I think many adults don't like to drink water themselves, and project
that dislike onto their baby. They think if they only gave the baby
water to drink they'd be somehow depriving the baby and the baby would
be unhappy, rather than realize if the baby hadn't gotten anything else
he'd almost certainly be perfectly content with water and *enjoy*
drinking it.


True.
Also, in some areas the water just tastes nasty and NO ONE can tolerate it.
I drink my water with lime juice just so I can get it down. The water in
this part
of the country just tastes icky to me. In Houston its particularly foul. Ugh

We don't drink our tap water, its not *that* bad, but we have
a water cooler and have water delivered. My parents live in
Arizona, and the water is intolerable. They installed a
water purifier (reverse osmosis) and that's where they
get all their drinking water. In fact most of the grocery
stores have fresh water dispensers, you bring your own jugs
and fill up them up (it used to be $0.25 a gallon).

Agreed....BUT...filtered water only takes *some* of the crap out of
bad water, it don't do a damn thing for the taste though ;(

In my experience it makes a lot of difference to the taste. I imagine it varies
according to what is in the water, though. I'm sure some water wouldn't be all
that good, even filtered.
