Blue Snowball building Snowball Building

Hills of Snow -- this ~30 ft snowball houses a Snowball stand. The sign outside reads "99 flavors of pure enjoyment." It's in the corner of a chicken restaurant parking lot. Snowballs range from $.75 to $5.00

Like its chilly brethren -- the Twistee Treat ice cream cone -- variations on this type of food stand can be found elsewhere. Still, on a sweltering summer day, that big blue blob is a welcome hallucination.

Slurpee building. Giant Slurpee-like Building

A Slurpee stand in the form of a Giant Slurpee is in Selma NC. It appears that they take the show on the road with an 8 ft. "miniature" mounted on a pick-up truck parked out back. The main building appears to be about 25 ft. tall.

After a trip to the Ava Gardner Museum, you can go over to Hill's and get a sno-cone from a sno-cone shaped building. Doesn't appear to be a seasonal thing. The sign out front says "Open Every Day Except Rain."
