Shaved Ice – Hawaii, USA
It’s easy to understand why shaved ice is so popular in Hawaii — this cool treat can take the edge off any hot and humid day. You can find shave ice at roadside stalls all over the islands.

Get it with sweetened condensed milk drizzled over top for an even more decadent treat.
