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:
“It seemed there was a sort of poisoning, an auto-infection of the organisms, so Dr. Krokowski said; it was caused by the disintegration of a substance ... and the products of this disintegration operated like an intoxicant upon the nerve-centres of the spinal cord, with an effect similar to that of certain poisons, such as morphia, or cocaine.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
