This the cat from Black ink Compton! Salute
Crazy inspiring story. Happy Ice is legit, and I'm definitely grabbing a cup this weekend.
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 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
@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.
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!
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!
man i can't wait to try this. looks so damn refreshing! love it
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!
Philly water ice is so good
It’s basically Italian ice
@@k.anderson5039No, friend, no.
I’m obsessed with Happy Ice, it’s so good!
God bless this young man so happy his uncle became the father figure he needed ❤❤ congratulations
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.
God Bless You and your Business! I don't know you but as a mother I'm proud of you!
Damn Bro I Love the story of how you came up like that!!!! Best wishes to your company and I hope you make Millions!!!!
I love it because the rainbow ice it’s not just plain coloured ice t’s literally all the flavours I love this
These looks so refreshing and delicious. Never seen anything like it. From Cincinnati
Thats cool I remembered him being on black ink, very happy for him
I miss this stuff soooo bad I grew up near philly but moved down south and ugh I miss this stuff
Cannot wait to try and support when I visit LA soon
That water ice looks so good, tbh.
we have some amazing flavors up in philly too.
I'm actually going to happy ice cream as I'm watching this video, looks super good🤩😋
The waves in the ice is blowing my mind
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
It is beautiful to see this!
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.
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.
I remember you from black inc compton!!! I need this!
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
Oh, that looks delicious and refreshing 😋
This is so great to see
omg I love Water ice 😍
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 😊😊
Great job and person you are!!!🥰
This dude is an inspiration I wanna try that happy ice.

BEAUTIFUL STORY
If you guys can’t get that but want to experience it, Baskin Robbins Lime ice (or lime twist) is the same texture! Amazing
It looks so smooth
Keep it up my guy
Congratulations 🎊 👏🏿 💐!
inspiring people... period.
Your uncle Joey is a good man. 🙏🏻
Rita's chocolate water ice is the greatest invention since air conditioning! I wish I could get it in the midwest. 😞
Smart business ---high profit margin and unique products (outside of some areas of NE)
I'd love to open one in my state.
Hello son from back home keep it Philly style peace.
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!
I found myself down there I'm up in North Cali am so visiting
i love this!!!
I cant sven watch this... i want it so bad!!! Please come to Toronto!
i want to try
it
That’s what’s up!!👍😁
That’s definitely Italian Ice. It looks gooooood.
Wish we had this in Australia
Water ice! What a name. Dudes a Genius.
I wanna try all the flavors 😁
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’ve always called this polish water ice!
Good presentation... I'm looking to prepackage Italian
They need to come to dallas Texas
Respect
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Bring happy ice to New Haven Connecticut bro
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
How are they doing? What part of the map are you in?
It so beautiful and inspiring 💞💗💞💯💯💯💖❣️😍😝🥰😍😍🥰😛
Plssss bring this to London I beg you xxxxxxx
That is so good
God bless your uncle Joey
So cool
It’s basically Italian ice. My favorite is the red, white & blue in the paper cup in Manhattan on a hot summer day
Love the come up story. God bless brother ✊🔫🇺🇸
Yummy ❤️🧡💛💛💚💙💙
Please tell me he does overnight shipping to other cities in the US
we pronounce it as “wooder ice”😂😂
I'm born and raised in South Philly .... WE call it WADER ICE
How do they get all the colors??
i need it
I Love What Your Doing Good Brother!!! I'm also a entrepreneur turning 40 yrs.old two weeks from today, which I'm pretty Sure your only about half my age!!! Lol.🤣. And I am Very Interesting into starting a similar type of business myself, and I truly respect your Expertise on this type of business! The Worst thing that society has Us All Believing is (because someone's Older, they're Wiser!!) B.Sh!t!!!! Lol. but King, in all Seriousness I would love to Pick your Brain if I could, to Gain a little More Knowledge on the business, but I jump into! Much Respect King!! Keep Prospering!!! Cause at the end of the day We Are All We Truly Have!! So Young Brother, I am Very Proud You!! 💪💯, Remember as well, it's Always Better to Give people Knowledge instead of Money!!💯
You know best way to reach out to him would be a professional email or through LinkedIn etc, good luck!
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!
🤔
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.
You only see the success, you don’t see the struggle.
#first but also, this makes me miss philly
#HappyIce😍 #HappyLife 😍 I have got a pint with all the favor. Here in Las Vegas NV 😎💯 10/2@10/3/21🙃 I was so happy to get some Water Ice. I'm a CaliBaby. Why won't support a black business. 💯
He should sell pretzel to go with the water ice
Oh yummy yummy yummy ice-cream 👌😋😍🍦🤤🤗😎🌏FNZealand
I wounder how he makes this
His uncle did a good job, too many guys who grow up surrounded by criminal activity would be childish about selling rainbow ice cream and just keep spreading misery in the world instead. What a cool job!
I just brought 6 of these freezers. How can I order the water ice for me to sell can any help me out.
How can I sell Happy ice in WV?
Recipe please
Watery but full?
