💬 “What’s That Weird Ice Thing?”

The 5 questions we get every single day at Flocoloco

You walk past our stand.
You see people smiling with a colorful ice dome in hand.
And you think:
“Wait... what even is that?”

Don't worry — you're not the only one.
Here are the top 5 questions we hear every day, with our most honest (and slightly frozen) answers 👇

❄️ 1. “Is it like a granita?”

Ah, the granita. The classic syrup-on-chunky-ice festival treat.
Shave ice is a whole different story.
The ice is shaved ultra-fine — like fresh snow falling on Mauna Kea. It melts in your mouth, gets soaked in syrup, layered, drizzled…
This is frozen art, not just crushed ice drowning in chemicals.

🧒 2. “Is it just for kids?”

Spoiler alert: we’ve seen adults fight over the last spoonful.
Shave ice is for everyone.
We’ve got sweet, tropical, spicy, even surprising flavors.
Add matcha, chili, mochi... and you’re far from that strawberry ice cream you got in the school cafeteria.

So no — it’s not just for kids.
But hey, we welcome big kids with open arms.

☀️ 3. “Doesn’t it melt in 2 minutes?”

Yes… just like any other ice cream in the Lisbon sun 😎
But here’s the magic: shave ice absorbs the syrup.
Even melted, it’s still delicious — scoop it up or drink it like a tropical cocktail.
It’s sweet, icy, and fruity to the very last drop.

🧪 4. “Is it full of colorants?”

Nope.
At Flocoloco, our syrups are homemade and all-natural.
No artificial flavors, no neon chemicals.
You want flavor? We give you the real stuff: passion fruit, guava, lime, coconut...
Your cup looks like a rainbow because nature knows how to make things beautiful 🌈

🍫 5. “What can you put on top?”

Honestly? Whatever you want.
Classic toppings? Yup. Mochis? Of course. Goat cheese? Why not.
Some of our customers go full freestyle: pineapple + chili sauce + dark chocolate.
And guess what? It actually works.

In short:

Shave ice isn’t just a dessert — it’s an experience.
A little frozen cloud from Hawaii, reimagined in Lisbon, ready to blow your taste buds away.

So next time you see our stand, don’t ask
“What’s that weird ice thing?”
Say:
“Okay. Blow my mind.”
