  • In this video I review & test an original Mr Frosty from the late 70's to see what I and many others missed out on all those Christmas' when we never got one!
    Will it be a triumph or a pain in the....ice?

    I'm glad Ocean's C64 loading music didn't just leave a long lasting mark on just me!

    I remember Mr. Frosty. I had Mr. Frosty as a kid when I lived in England before moving to New Zealand in 1995. My parents forced me to give it up when we left England and moved to NZ.

      I haven't used it since & that video was over 3 years ago! 😂

    I wanted one! But my parents wouldn't buy me one. I was born in 1968, so it would have been this one you are doing a video for.
    Now I am 54 years old.
    It makes quite a noise! Maybe thats why they didn't buy it.
    I did, however, get a Mr Peanut Butter man which you put peanuts in his top hat and peanut butter came out
    I havent got that anymore
    Ah well, I will just have to carry on life with Mr Frosty in it. :(

    My mom would never let me have one, despite asking for it several Xmas's in a row. She insisted it was a load of rubbish 🤣

    It worked ie shaved ice was produced as instructed The ice grinder broke under heavy (fat boy) use . My mate had the original set and we followed every step to the tee. Also I remember as a kid wondering how the fuck the laws of physics would be broken by mr frosty. However I clearly wasnt smart enough to actually question it.

    I got one, but it's handle kept popping off the back of the cylinder. Obvs I had my dad helping.
    I can't believe you got shaved ice out of yours.

      Took me ages to get that bit of ice! 😂 I'll stick to my Slush Puppie machine!

      @@RetroOrBust My home Slush maker is on its way out as the blades have gone blunt from smashing ice and so this evening, I just bought myself a commercial one. Mr Frosty adverts made it look so cool though. Children around the world were conned.
