What you don't see on the commercial is the crazy amount of time that it takes to shave enough ice for even the tiniest of sno-cones. Although, if they packaged it as Snoopy's workout machine, with bonus sno-cone feature.....

It was so awesome. The sno-cones were fab! It literally shaved the ice... which is what sno-cones are anyway. I think the reason everyone wanted one was the stinkin' commercial. It was awesome. I can still recall the tune. We also had a Snoopy Playmate. Played with it for hours and hours. But that was nothing compared to how much play I got out of my Merlin. Dude, I had one of these.
