NOPE, SORRY EPIC FAIL. Blenders can't make shaved ice. Maybe close to a snow cone but still nope.

Too much work, a $30 ice shaver is way easier and fun …your kids can use it…

If use a scale weigh the ice divided by half that’s how much syrup you should add to the dish!!! if you add too much, like equal parts one to one, then it becomes a Slurpee!!!! Don’t waste your syrup…

Great content and a super underrated channel, one point is that the narration audio was a bit hard to hear, something with the mixing relative to the music

Looking forward to making this soon
