This the cat from Black ink Compton! Salute
It's in the 90's in NC right now. I would kill for a Rainbow Happy Ice. That looks like it would just hit the spot. I wish him all the success that he can open more stores across the country. I want one here!
In saint louis we have the same thing - it's called Italian ice. This was so refreshing to see a positive story in regards to a young & black man. Wishing his business more success! Ontop of that he is truly humble! Can't find humbleness anywhere now a days
@Zzz Z no
Does this ice cream is sale
True Italian ice doesn't have ice cream or sorbet in it though.
Italian ice is a Philly thing it's just another name for water ice.
Philly water ice is so good
It’s basically Italian ice
@@k.anderson5039No, friend, no.
Crazy inspiring story. Happy Ice is legit, and I'm definitely grabbing a cup this weekend.
I LOVE THIS! I love his inspiration behind it, I love his Uncle for helping make this guy the man he is today, I love that when he came up with the idea he called his Mom and she supported him and he made his dreams, concept and business a reality. This is certainly a feel good story, you can’t let the circumstances of others around you determine your destiny. I was thrilled looking them up just now and seeing they’re still in business (especially after the lockdown). These self made men, rather men who embraced the positive support around them versus the negative influences that tried to take him over and do something great with themselves. Heck wish I could franchise it with him and start one clear across the country where I am. This is brilliant!
Has me inspired, I was on here looking for something totally different and ran across this. I’m in the process of getting my business going even more and this was confirmation. I don’t have all the funds or backing but I’m still doing it. Keep it up brotha. I tried Philly ice years ago from a cat doing a pop up here in LA and it was fire!
man i can't wait to try this. looks so damn refreshing! love it
Wow, you are right, inspiring others. Your Happy Ice looks so good and your attitude is superb. Great role model, great product! God Bless you!
I’m obsessed with Happy Ice, it’s so good!
God bless this young man so happy his uncle became the father figure he needed ❤❤ congratulations
God Bless You and your Business! I don't know you but as a mother I'm proud of you!
I live in Philly and just got a rainbow water ice. The original rainbow water ice in Philly is blue raspberry, cherry and lemon. Via Veneto invented the rainbow and a lot of others.
Lemeir Mitchell is inspiring me, pretty cool, overcomer real life story❣️
Too far to try it, in 🇨🇦, but looks amazing, pretty sure it is. Might have to at least do one road trip vacation thing one day.
I love it because the rainbow ice it’s not just plain coloured ice t’s literally all the flavours I love this
Damn Bro I Love the story of how you came up like that!!!! Best wishes to your company and I hope you make Millions!!!!
Cannot wait to try and support when I visit LA soon
Thats cool I remembered him being on black ink, very happy for him
These looks so refreshing and delicious. Never seen anything like it. From Cincinnati
That water ice looks so good, tbh.
we have some amazing flavors up in philly too.
It is beautiful to see this!
I miss this stuff soooo bad I grew up near philly but moved down south and ugh I miss this stuff
When I lived in Tucson for 20 years (moved back to CA) we ate something similar. AZ has "Eegees" but nothing like that in CA. I hope they expand to CA.
The waves in the ice is blowing my mind
I remember you from black inc compton!!! I need this!
This is so great to see
Wowsers those look gorgeous and delicious!! We have Italian ice where I live, and a local company called Richies makes really delicious stuff. This looks even better
I'm actually going to happy ice cream as I'm watching this video, looks super good🤩😋
Great job and person you are!!!🥰
Water Ice and Italian Ice are catching on I had some in New Orleans lately and they are quite popular there. I also had some in Vegas when I got home! One place added ice cream and condensed milk in theirs 😊😊
That is what is up man.
North Philly In the house.
Oh, that looks delicious and refreshing 😋
Dope! I want some now!
If you guys can’t get that but want to experience it, Baskin Robbins Lime ice (or lime twist) is the same texture! Amazing
omg I love Water ice 😍
This dude is an inspiration I wanna try that happy ice.
Congratulations 🎊 👏🏿 💐!
BEAUTIFUL STORY
It looks so smooth
When I moved to LA the two things I missed was Lancaster style pretzels and Philidelphia Italian Ice
Listen. It’s nothing like philly water ice... shaved ice is not water ice.... a snow cone is not water ice. Philly Water ice is something different. I can go to the resteraunt depot and get tubs of it lol if your ever in Philly get one and a preztel
Nothing like that water ice with a pretzel!
I watch you on tattoos of Compton you are going to be a millionaire one day keep running your business the way you do God bless you and your babies and your family
I always remember them as yum yums
Big homie is going to make some nice cheddar out there man.
Keep it up my guy

Rita's chocolate water ice is the greatest invention since air conditioning! I wish I could get it in the midwest. 😞
Okay so I tried it and it tasted delicious flavors are verry fruity and texture is like a snow cone not really an ice cream texture and I would recommend to get the watermelon one it taste verry good.

The best bro
Bring happy ice to New Haven Connecticut bro
I have an ice cream truck and a Food Truck and several food carts but something about this strikes me really interesting. I started with nothing I was homeless with nothing and I worked two jobs walked all over town bought myself a van and a hot dog cart and I came up from there. This story is what it's about. It really is good for you
How are they doing? What part of the map are you in?
Please tell me he does overnight shipping to other cities in the US
It so beautiful and inspiring 💞💗💞💯💯💯💖❣️😍😝🥰😍😍🥰😛
Plssss bring this to London I beg you xxxxxxx

God bless your uncle Joey

I'm born and raised in South Philly .... WE call it WADER ICE
Love the come up story. God bless brother ✊🔫🇺🇸
I just brought 6 of these freezers. How can I order the water ice for me to sell can any help me out.
It’s basically Italian ice. My favorite is the red, white & blue in the paper cup in Manhattan on a hot summer day
I wounder how he makes this
How can I sell Happy ice in WV?
we pronounce it as “wooder ice”😂😂
Yummy ❤️🧡💛💛💚💙💙
I Love What Your Doing Good Brother!!! I'm also a entrepreneur turning 40 yrs.old two weeks from today, which I'm pretty Sure your only about half my age!!! Lol.🤣. And I am Very Interesting into starting a similar type of business myself, and I truly respect your Expertise on this type of business! The Worst thing that society has Us All Believing is (because someone's Older, they're Wiser!!) B.Sh!t!!!! Lol. but King, in all Seriousness I would love to Pick your Brain if I could, to Gain a little More Knowledge on the business, but I jump into! Much Respect King!! Keep Prospering!!! Cause at the end of the day We Are All We Truly Have!! So Young Brother, I am Very Proud You!! 💪💯, Remember as well, it's Always Better to Give people Knowledge instead of Money!!💯
You know best way to reach out to him would be a professional email or through LinkedIn etc, good luck!
#HappyIce😍 #HappyLife 😍 I have got a pint with all the favor. Here in Las Vegas NV 😎💯 10/2@10/3/21🙃 I was so happy to get some Water Ice. I'm a CaliBaby. Why won't support a black business. 💯
Great story and all, but when he said he was sleeping in a tattoo shop with no money, where does the money come from to buy a food truck and all the ingredients and utensils. Seems like quite a jump that the editors assumed no one would case about
I would like to know where the funding came from too so I can start my own thing!
🤔
I would assume that he saved his tattoo money. If he is a tattoo artist they can make a lot of money. Anyone who has tattoos would tell you this. Sleeping in the shop probably allowed him to save more. Three or four good "sleeves" would be plenty for a food truck. Cost of startup for this business is probably as low as a business can be. This RUclips video is showing the final product. I am sure it wasn't anything like that when he first started selling Happy Ice. My two cents.
You only see the success, you don’t see the struggle.
i need it
Oh yummy yummy yummy ice-cream 👌😋😍🍦🤤🤗😎🌏FNZealand
He should sell pretzel to go with the water ice
His uncle did a good job, too many guys who grow up surrounded by criminal activity would be childish about selling rainbow ice cream and just keep spreading misery in the world instead. What a cool job!
Recipe please
Vegans: finally something I can eat!
#first but also, this makes me miss philly
