All of you guys should go to this. If you haven't tried Rita's Italian Ice, I think you'll really like it. Get a Gellato (italian ice in a cup with a bunch of frozen custard)!
 
I feel old I remember when Rita's opened around 20 years ago when I was in elementary school. Back in the day they had lots of real fruit in the water ice, now it is mostly syrup.

It is still good stuff but just not the same. All in all though anyone growing up in Pennsylvania will still love it.

Me included. I already got my path planned out to stop at 3 today before I get home for my free Water Ice :) could do five but that would be tooo much.
 
You know it was kinda funny, after I got my razzberry ice tonight I went to the local K-Mart that was a couple miles away from Rita's. The people who were with me told me to stop, and check out this trash can that we were walking by. There in this trash can there must have been atleast 50+ other empty Rita's cups that people had thrown away. Its amuseing how all those cups migrated here one at a time from the one and only Rita's on the other side of town. :)
 
i went by the one here in cary and there was a line around the building. never seen so many people line up for free italian ice
