Yup. So much ice. It became such a slushy, you really cannot drink it. It is basically a sour dessert, if anything. Once you got past the frosty cold slush, it's actually delicious, with a balanced lime, banana and mint flavour profile far better than actual Chiclets, in my opinion.

Agreed. Way too much ice. Should be a 6oz scoop. Now corrected.

12 oz of ice ?? It’s huge. Even with 6 oz the dillution is too large and the texture too dense imo.

Nice and refreshing on a hot day without being too much like having a squirt of toothpaste.
