Similar Confections
In Hawaii, "shave ice" is similar to snowballs, and is sold in cone-shaped paper cups. "Rainbow," a popular flavor, consists of three colors of syrup chosen usually for their color rather than their taste compatibility. Commonly, a scoop of vanilla ice cream or sweetened azuki beans is first added to the bottom of the cup and is capped with condensed milk.
The dessert ice kachang served in Malaysia and Singapore is another form of shaved ice. Ice kachang was originally served with red beans but now includes various fruits and other sweet toppings.
In Japan they are known as kakigori and in India it is called a "gola" and usually served on popsicle sticks.
In Britain the term Snow Cone is often used for a standard Ice Cream Cone topped with (usually vanilla) Ice Cream, hence the term Snow Cone. (This is a slightly archaic term however.)

Famous quotes containing the word similar:
“We cannot feel strongly toward the totally unlike because it is unimaginable, unrealizable; nor yet toward the wholly like because it is stale—identity must always be dull company. The power of other natures over us lies in a stimulating difference which causes excitement and opens communication, in ideas similar to our own but not identical, in states of mind attainable but not actual.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
