How Many Calories... in a Snow Cone?

How Many Calories?

Summer brings outdoor music festivals, carnivals, and county fairs. Along for the ride come funnel cakes, cotton candy, various meats on sticks, and Snow Cones!

What's a health-conscious person supposed to eat at events like these? I've always assumed that Snow Cones were the closest thing to being a dieter's friend, since they're mostly just ice. My body is working so hard to warm up that ice in my stomach, it's probably burning almost as many calories as the Snow Cone contains, right?

Well, that's not quite true. How many calories do you think are in an average 12 oz Snow Cone?

A) 75 calories
B) 150 calories
C) 300 calories
D) 550 calories
