They do have sugar free flavors. Not the flavors I like.
I think the problem might be that the syrup goes on so much ice. Even though the final result is sweet, I've learned from fruit juice snowballs that the syrup has to be unbelievably sweet. Maybe its' not a good idea to put that much artificial sweetener in one place? Or maybe it doesn't have the texture necessary? I'll try one of them (which gives me a great excuse to bring my son again), if I can mix it with the evaporated milk that I think separates, for example, ice cream from cream of ice cream.
I've been trying to figure out if it's possible to get snowballs in May and in the quarter, if anyone comes to Babblefest 2010. I still remember my first snowball. My friend's father offered to bring us, and my friend was so excited while I couldn't figure out why a "snowcone" was so great because I was thinking of snowcones elsewhere. It is an entirely different experience.
