Charlie thank you for bringing back old memories. My grandmother was one of those people who had her own store out of her low income apartment in Lake Charles Lousiana. The kids & adults would come from miles around to get her frozen cups. U made them perfect. When my grandmother made her frozen cups it was like taking a science class everything had to be measure down to the T. Other women in her complex would try & sale frozen cups but they where no match to my grandmother. Besides her special love she put into making them she also had 2 secret ingredients she put in her cool cups, that definitely kept them wanting more. My grandmother would get up early in the morning because the kids would come before they went to school. Believe it or not this is how my cousin college got paid, my aunts down payment for a car & also my cousin was able to have a beautiful wedding off that strong black woman hard work. I can go on & on about my grandmother. I learned(I know this isn't proper grammar) so much from her. All her wisdom is what keep me going daily. Thanks Charlie for not letting those old traditions die. May my grandmother aka mother Dear R.I.H!😇

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

You're welcome Barbara not a problem! I appreciate the compliments! Wow some people don't really measure their ingredients. Oh yeah I'm sure she made a lot of money off of them. lol People were really hustling back in the day making all sorts of sweet treats. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@eamonia]

Beautiful. Just lovely ❤️

[@sharonjarmon6269]

[@chrisj9179]

Well… Go on tell us those secrets ingredients from grandma.

[@kwametsunami3235]

In Chicago we call that a “Icey” or “Icey cup” or “Slushy”. Funny how every city/state calls it something different, but is referring to the same thing.

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

I know right. it's crazy bruh. Soo many different names and versions but at the end of the day, it's the exact same thing regardless of how it's made.

[@soulavenue8]

Lol I said the same thing about “Icy cups”.

Charlie great...introducing cold cups back..I sold them as a stay at home mom..the community had a ball eating them...one day I boiled my sugar water and made them..it allowed the cups to freeze really slow..that way the ice freezes in a fine snow cone type way..when you bite it or spoon it..the ice would shave off very fluffy.

Boiling the sugar water does play role in the texture and it does make it more fluffy when shaved off. Absolutely! Thanks for sharing your story!

iloveoldschool It seems that a lot of the names are based off of regions. It has soo many different names. lol

[@msalwaysclassy1]

iloveoldschool what part of Alabama are you from, because everywhere that I’ve been in Alabama they were called frozens or frozen cups from the 70’s until now. Bebops must be a new name?

I am gonna try that adding the pineapple juice

[@ashfitrn]

stlgirl3674 yes I add it to tropical punch or the blue raspberry lemonade. It’s bomb

[@CharlieTheCookAndrews]

smileyface985 That name seems fitting since that's the cup the liquid was frozen in. Ohh yeah the pineapple juice just takes it up a notch further. Some people even add fruit cocktail or fresh pineapple. Soo good! :)

It would really hit the spot in the heat. It really keeps you cool. As far as the vodka and tequila goes, if you add that then this would be more of an adult treat as kids wouldn't be able to eat it at all. lol

Gang banging is everywhere but not like west coast and up north. You can’t tell Chicago and New York people about pizza no where else cause they know pizza, New Orleans gumbo and Popeyes chicken if you ain’t never had it, lol don’t talk about Popeyes and gumbo to em cause they gon shut it down. You can’t tell down south folks about no blues and bbq and hole in the wall clubs , see boo this ain’t no American situation. Lol certain things are stamps and trademarks for certain parts of America. Shawty , if you’ve never had a down south freeze cup with the syrup so thick on the top till you gotta drain it( some folks add the wonka nerds or the gummy worms ), a kool aid pickle in the ziplock bag some folks like the candy cane wit it, the frooties with the multiple colors( which is becoming common now and the hot chips), pig feet in the jar 🔥but the down south combo is like Rucker park in New York to down south hoods lol you ain’t from no real down south hood if you can’t relate💯 str8 up🤣😂
