I never had the Kenner IceBird Snow Cone machine, but I do remember this song. Boy, do I remember this song. It's imbedded in my mind like my home phone number. But in a "wow, I didn't even know I remembered this song" sort of way. Once the song started, all the memories started to come back.
After the jump, the commercial for the IceBird. Please note the kids eating the stuff like they haven't had food in days. And also notice the "flavor packets" that look a lot like Chinese takeout soy sauce packets.

While kids were at sugar play 'Mom' disappeared to get her Scotch flavor packet to poor on the rocks. :-)
