Hansen's Sno-Bliz

Opened in 1939. Hansen's Sno-Bliz was initially developed throughout one generally warm New Orleans summer season day throughout the Great Depression. Ernest Hansen and also his older kid were aiming to cool down outside when a guy pressing a snoball cart rolled by. Ernest, although attracted by the icy reward, the absence of tidiness of the procedure as each snoball was cut manually from a huge block of ice. Being a master machinist, he imagined a device that would certainly hold and also cut ice easily and also securely. Ernest immediately went about developing one, making U.S. Patent 2525923.

Hansen's Sno-Bliz was begun by Ernest as well as Mary Hansen in 1939. Ernest developed the initial ice cutting maker and also Mary developed her very own flavorful syrups. Years later on, Hansen's still makes its very own tastes each day.
