I LOVE THIS! I love his inspiration behind it, I love his Uncle for helping make this guy the man he is today, I love that when he came up with the idea he called his Mom and she supported him and he made his dreams, concept and business a reality. This is certainly a feel good story, you can’t let the circumstances of others around you determine your destiny. I was thrilled looking them up just now and seeing they’re still in business (especially after the lockdown). These self made men, rather men who embraced the positive support around them versus the negative influences that tried to take him over and do something great with themselves. Heck wish I could franchise it with him and start one clear across the country where I am. This is brilliant!
It's in the 90's in NC right now. I would kill for a Rainbow Happy Ice. That looks like it would just hit the spot. I wish him all the success that he can open more stores across the country. I want one here!
In N.Y. , we call it Italian Ice. I could NEVER mess with that shaved Ice after growing up eating creamy, flavorful Icees. Shaved ice is a drink to me. I bet this guy will make a killing.😋
In saint louis we have the same thing - it's called Italian ice. This was so refreshing to see a positive story in regards to a young & black man. Wishing his business more success! Ontop of that he is truly humble! Can't find humbleness anywhere now a days
Has me inspired, I was on here looking for something totally different and ran across this. I’m in the process of getting my business going even more and this was confirmation. I don’t have all the funds or backing but I’m still doing it. Keep it up brotha. I tried Philly ice years ago from a cat doing a pop up here in LA and it was fire!
I watch you on tattoos of Compton you are going to be a millionaire one day keep running your business the way you do God bless you and your babies and your family
I live in Philly and just got a rainbow water ice. The original rainbow water ice in Philly is blue raspberry, cherry and lemon. Via Veneto invented the rainbow and a lot of others.
Lemeir Mitchell is inspiring me, pretty cool, overcomer real life story❣️ Too far to try it, in 🇨🇦, but looks amazing, pretty sure it is. Might have to at least do one road trip vacation thing one day.
I’ve met a lot of people from a lot of places, and one girl always used to talk about this wooder (Philly was strong as hell) ice. Made it sound like the best thing ever!
Wowsers those look gorgeous and delicious!! We have Italian ice where I live, and a local company called Richies makes really delicious stuff. This looks even better
Water Ice and Italian Ice are catching on I had some in New Orleans lately and they are quite popular there. I also had some in Vegas when I got home! One place added ice cream and condensed milk in theirs 😊😊
When I lived in Tucson for 20 years (moved back to CA) we ate something similar. AZ has "Eegees" but nothing like that in CA. I hope they expand to CA.
Okay so I tried it and it tasted delicious flavors are verry fruity and texture is like a snow cone not really an ice cream texture and I would recommend to get the watermelon one it taste verry good.
I have an ice cream truck and a Food Truck and several food carts but something about this strikes me really interesting. I started with nothing I was homeless with nothing and I worked two jobs walked all over town bought myself a van and a hot dog cart and I came up from there. This story is what it's about. It really is good for you
I always used to call this Mexican Ice Cream (water-based,nondairy) as a kid and my teachers would always tell me it couldn’t be called ice cream and I used to be so confused that they literally meant it contains no dairy hence it can’t be ice CREAM. anyways, love the exotic colors! Hopefully they make it big.
I got try this one , seems like I can never find the right texture type since I was a kid playing at the joes water ice arcade store and water ice ahop
I keep seeing ppl say that Italian ice and water ice are different. I just googled it and the only difference is that water ice uses artificial flavoring where traditional Italian ice uses real fruits. They are still basically the same thing. And yes I’m Italian and I’m from south jersey.
Listen. It’s nothing like philly water ice... shaved ice is not water ice.... a snow cone is not water ice. Philly Water ice is something different. I can go to the resteraunt depot and get tubs of it lol if your ever in Philly get one and a preztel
Great story and all, but when he said he was sleeping in a tattoo shop with no money, where does the money come from to buy a food truck and all the ingredients and utensils. Seems like quite a jump that the editors assumed no one would case about
I would assume that he saved his tattoo money. If he is a tattoo artist they can make a lot of money. Anyone who has tattoos would tell you this. Sleeping in the shop probably allowed him to save more. Three or four good "sleeves" would be plenty for a food truck. Cost of startup for this business is probably as low as a business can be. This UA-cam video is showing the final product. I am sure it wasn't anything like that when he first started selling Happy Ice. My two cents.
God bless this young man so happy his uncle became the father figure he needed ❤❤ congratulations
Thats cool I remembered him being on black ink, very happy for him
Im so proud of this dude I remember when he first his started his business on that tattoo show black ink compton now he's expanding ❤
Crazy inspiring story. Happy Ice is legit, and I'm definitely grabbing a cup this weekend.
This the cat from Black ink Compton! Salute
I rocks 🪨 with him
IK he was from somewhere good fucking catch!

@Zzz Z no
Does this ice cream is sale
True Italian ice doesn't have ice cream or sorbet in it though.
Italian ice is a Philly thing it's just another name for water ice.
I grew up in South Jersey/ Philly. Italian Ice and Water Ice are definitely not the same.

Wow, you are right, inspiring others. Your Happy Ice looks so good and your attitude is superb. Great role model, great product! God Bless you!
I watch you on tattoos of Compton you are going to be a millionaire one day keep running your business the way you do God bless you and your babies and your family
The waves in the ice is blowing my mind
I’m obsessed with Happy Ice, it’s so good!
man i can't wait to try this. looks so damn refreshing! love it
This inspires me so much I have a water ice / ice cream stand and my next move will be to have a store ❤😊
I live in Philly and just got a rainbow water ice. The original rainbow water ice in Philly is blue raspberry, cherry and lemon. Via Veneto invented the rainbow and a lot of others.
I love it because the rainbow ice it’s not just plain coloured ice t’s literally all the flavours I love this
Lemeir Mitchell is inspiring me, pretty cool, overcomer real life story❣️
Too far to try it, in 🇨🇦, but looks amazing, pretty sure it is. Might have to at least do one road trip vacation thing one day.
I miss this stuff soooo bad I grew up near philly but moved down south and ugh I miss this stuff
God Bless You and your Business! I don't know you but as a mother I'm proud of you!
I’ve met a lot of people from a lot of places, and one girl always used to talk about this wooder (Philly was strong as hell) ice. Made it sound like the best thing ever!
That water ice looks so good, tbh.
we have some amazing flavors up in philly too.
Damn Bro I Love the story of how you came up like that!!!! Best wishes to your company and I hope you make Millions!!!!
That is what is up man.
North Philly In the house.
Your uncle Joey is a good man. 🙏🏻
Philly water ice is so good
It’s basically Italian ice
@@k.anderson5039No, friend, no.
This is so awesome! He wanted something and made it.
When I moved to LA the two things I missed was Lancaster style pretzels and Philidelphia Italian Ice
If you guys can’t get that but want to experience it, Baskin Robbins Lime ice (or lime twist) is the same texture! Amazing
And this looks like the perfect texture for the perfect water ice in my book now just need arcades
Smart business ---high profit margin and unique products (outside of some areas of NE)
I'd love to open one in my state.
If y'all love this y'all need to come to Philly for our soft pretzels water ice & peanut chews 💯💯
I wish I could but I live in San Diego.
@@flight6934 come visit
@@buttahwrld17 definitely will one time.
💯💯💯💯
Wowsers those look gorgeous and delicious!! We have Italian ice where I live, and a local company called Richies makes really delicious stuff. This looks even better
I remember you from black inc compton!!! I need this!
Rita's chocolate water ice is the greatest invention since air conditioning! I wish I could get it in the midwest. 😞
?
Cannot wait to try and support when I visit LA soon
Water Ice and Italian Ice are catching on I had some in New Orleans lately and they are quite popular there. I also had some in Vegas when I got home! One place added ice cream and condensed milk in theirs 😊😊
Big homie is going to make some nice cheddar out there man.
I love Philly water ice, that's my childhood right there
These looks so refreshing and delicious. Never seen anything like it. From Cincinnati
Very proud of this young man.

Awesome! I wish him the best.
Water ice! What a name. Dudes a Genius.
I'm actually going to happy ice cream as I'm watching this video, looks super good🤩😋
It is beautiful to see this!
I always used to call this Mexican Ice Cream (water-based,nondairy) as a kid and my teachers would always tell me it couldn’t be called ice cream and I used to be so confused that they literally meant it contains no dairy hence it can’t be ice CREAM. anyways, love the exotic colors! Hopefully they make it big.
I got try this one , seems like I can never find the right texture type since I was a kid playing at the joes water ice arcade store and water ice ahop
So delicious for a hot day

This is so great to see
This dude is an inspiration I wanna try that happy ice.
Thank you Uncle you ended up inspiring us all ✌🏾
That’s definitely Italian Ice. It looks gooooood.
I keep seeing ppl say that Italian ice and water ice are different. I just googled it and the only difference is that water ice uses artificial flavoring where traditional Italian ice uses real fruits. They are still basically the same thing. And yes I’m Italian and I’m from south jersey.
Oh wow I love this story.
How do they get all the colors??
Let’s goo 💪🏽❤️🔥💯
Great job and person you are!!!🥰
I always remember them as yum yums

Good presentation... I'm looking to prepackage Italian
Listen. It’s nothing like philly water ice... shaved ice is not water ice.... a snow cone is not water ice. Philly Water ice is something different. I can go to the resteraunt depot and get tubs of it lol if your ever in Philly get one and a preztel
Nothing like that water ice with a pretzel!
So, have you tried Happy Ice in LA? Or are you just talking?
It looks like gelato
Summer days as a teen get capped off with that combo. I miss those days. Sometimes you gotta get the gelato though.

Oh, that looks delicious and refreshing 😋
Great story and all, but when he said he was sleeping in a tattoo shop with no money, where does the money come from to buy a food truck and all the ingredients and utensils. Seems like quite a jump that the editors assumed no one would case about
I would like to know where the funding came from too so I can start my own thing!
🤔

You only see the success, you don’t see the struggle.
Please tell me he does overnight shipping to other cities in the US
