Food Snoopy Sno-Cones: Better than Your Average Dog Sno-Cones

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on Thu, Aug 2 at 2:14 PM

Nothing beats the heat like sno-cones, and yet? Portland is sadly bereft of this delicious icy treat. That’s why I’ve decided to take matters into my own hands, quit this stupid newspaper business, and set up my own cart featuring a SNOOPY SNO-CONE MACHINE. That’s right—much to my excitement, they’ve started manufacturing Snoopy Sno-Cone Machines again, which was one of my childhood favorites.

Simply grind up the ice, scoop it into the cup, and squirt it with red sugar syrup which looks distressingly like bloody urine. Eat, and consider that heat beat!

Wow. I used to have one of those as a kid. My sister and I tried to make money with it by selling Sno-Cones to our neighbors. I think we ate all our profits.

They have awesome sno-cones (actually, they might be shaved ice) up above the Rose Garden in Washington Park. They call their bloody urine flavor "Tiger's Blood," and it's awesome.

Perfect for after riding a bike up there to enjoy the view or after some tennis.

I had one too! And almost wet myself when I saw them for sale at Little Finnegans downtown. Steve, let's get one for the office.

I also was super stoked when I saw this little gem, then I remembered i was at a goddamn urban outfitters and that it $26! then i became sad.
I mean, I suppose nostalgia could be considered priceless, but for three paper cups and one packet of red flavor?
aw nuts.
