I never got one my mum thought they were too messy so I wanted one for years.
Today there was a gift from Santa with a tag saying 'sorry it took so long hope you still wanted one' told my husband in passing in the past and he remembered. So I am now the proud owner of a Mr frosty hurrah.
Just wanted to share as Im still chuffed :)

I wished for one if these in the early 70s, I used to see this in the little woods catalogue and never had one for xmas - though was given other beautiful presents and was very fortunate

in about 1987 a friend brought me one for xmas and I was so happy!

@ivykaty44 those chocolate boxes were great but they always got thrown away when the chocolate had gone because the mini chocolate bars were either too expensive to replace and/or you couldn’t get them from anywhere! Lol! Happy memories!

My parents said I was allergic to the stuff you mix in with the ice. Turns out I never was allergic and they just didn’t want to buy one.
They owe me one now and after Amazon prime delivers it they are dead to me

I think that was the reason Santa never brought me one! mum was to sensible in that way

I bought my daughter (myself) one a couple of years ago as I too, longed and longed for one. My best tip is to use crushed ice not ice cubes as it takes so so long to get a decent amount. I still love him though :)

That's very sweet of him

However I had one and they're shit. The best thing is to just squirt the juice straight from the penguins hat into your math and forget about the grated ice.
