01:01We saw Bahama Mama, which has kind of coconut-y notes.
01:04Blue Hawaiian, which has those tropical notes.
01:06And we saw pickle juice as a snow cone.
01:09So there, it's just shaved ice with savory pickle juice drizzled on top.
01:15And you sort of scoop it and eat it.
01:17And it's alarmingly delicious.
