    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.😋

    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 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 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.

      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.
