Our Italian Ice cans are made of Cardboard and are assembled by hand at our manufacturing plant in Elizabeth, New Jersey.

Not only are our Cans Biodegradable (GREEN) they also will increase your bottom line over Italian ice in Plastic Cans.  Here is why-

italian ice cardboard can

Little Jimmy’s Italian Ice is FLASH FROZEN in our freezer immediately after being made.  The frozen air from the FLASH FREEZER actually permeates the surface of the cardboard can causing it to freeze faster. Plastic cans on the other hand do not not have any air permeation and therefore freeze slower than cardboard cans therefore separating the Italian ice from the flavoring and leaving a Gooey/Syrupy Unusable  2- 3 inches at the bottom of the Plastic Can.

A couple of inches doesn’t sound like a lot of wasted product so I thought I would demonstrate to you how much this is actually costing you.

Each Inch of Italian Ice = 6.5 Servings (3 Scoops per Serving)

2 inches of Gooey, Syrupy, Unsellable Italian Ice on the bottom of a Plastic Italian Ice can equals 13 Wasted Servings.

Those 13 Wasted Servings out of a Plastic Can x $2/Serving = $26.00

Those 13 Wasted Servings out of a Plastic Can x $2/Serving = $39.00

You then would have to add $39 to whatever you are paying for your Italian Ice in Plastic Cans and that is the true cost of your Italian Ice.

Give us a call and start making more money by selling Little Jimmy’s Italian Ice in Cardboard cans.

Great Italian ice weather in New Jersey tomorrow!

They are already closing the schools 24 hours ahead of time because of the record setting heat that is being predicted for tomorrow.  Story here is from the Newark Star Ledger- 

italian ice heat

Temperatures climbed into the mid- and upper-90s today in New Jersey, prompting city and school officials to take precautions against the heat.

Some schools ended classes at noon today, including the North Plainfield School District where officials decided to shorten school today and Thursday, said Marilyn Birnbaum, district superintendent.

“I know yesterday people were very happy that we made that decision. I think people really stress out over the heat,” she said shortly before classes let out today. Newark issued a heat advisory today and advised people to seek air-conditioned shelter during the day’s hottest hours: 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The city set up several cooling centers for residents to take refuge from the heat. “I urge our senior citizens and Newark residents who lack air conditioning to come to one of our cooling centers, where they can find relief during this hot spell,” Newark Mayor Cory Booker said in a news release. The reason for these unseasonably high temperatures is a high-pressure system that’s sitting over much of the Eastern United States. Other systems aren’t moving through, meaning the heat lingers. Thursday will see similarly high temperatures throughout the state, and some cities will climb close to 99 degrees, said Lauren Nash, a National Weather Service meteorologist. “But Friday we’ll get a break — it’ll be 90,” Nash said. Libraries and community center in Woodbridge and Perth Amboy became cooling centers today as municipal leaders sought was to cool off their residents, and head off any health problems from the near-record breaking heat. In Woodbridge, town officials said residents could escape the heat in eight air-conditioned buildings, including the community center, four libraries, senior centers and town hall. Any residents without air condition or transportation should call the Division on Aging “Beat the Heat” program at (732) 855-0600, ext. 5023, or the township police at (732) 634-7700 for assistant. The township is loaning fans to senior or disabled residents without access to cooling devices. In Perth Amboy, the Jankowski Community Center on 1 Olive Street, and the city library at 196 Jefferson St, will be open until 5 p.m., and the gymnasium at the Raritan Bay Area YMCA at 357 New Brunswick Ave. will be open until 9:45 p.m. Residents can get information about the centers by calling (732) 826-0290, ext 4006.

Italian Ice Customers

The last week of September I sold Italian ice at a local festival and decided to video it a little different this time. I used a FLIP camera and shot reactions to my customers over the course of an hour ordering and eating Little Jimmy’s Italian Ice. What you see here are real people interacting with me as I am selling Italian ice, having fun and making money all at the same time.

You may be wondering what the popping sound is that you hear throughout the video- you will find out at the end of the video.

“Hello Anthony and Dennis:

We just finished our 1st big event and it lasted for 6 days .  It was a county fair and horse show in Kentucky.  There were several children and some people were talking about the cost and comparing it to a shaved ice so we came up with a 2 scoop serving that we sold for 2 dollars and called it a “child size” and we sold several of those in addition to the normal 3 dollar size and several baseball helmets.

We had so much fun, but we were really tired…it was very hot.  I have attached some pictures of some of the police officers that loved Little Jimmy’s Italian Ices and one little boy that was competing in the horse show…he did win 1st place in his category and ate a lot of blueberry ice when he was done competing (he would come up at stick out his tongue and say what flavor do I want).  One of the police officers is originally from New York and he told everyone how great our product was and how it made him homesick.

I gave a quote today to our local hospital for an event that they are having for there major donors in October.  This event will consist of the movers and shakers in my community and could lead to a lot of corporate/employee events.  I also am talking to some Wal-Marts about setting up with them.

Thanks for all the advice and help.  We are loving it…I have wanted this cart for 5 years and now my dream is coming to reality and it is even better that I dreamed it would be.

Take care,

Leanne Mabrey
