Flavoring for ice chips?

cc_fame

I am packing my hospital bag, and I have a list from my birthing class to help me with neccessary items.  Well, I noticed on the list there is "flavoring for ice chips."  What?  I've never heard of that, and what would you use?  Kool-aid or lemonaide powder to sprinkle over them?  I know this is not a "gotta have" item and I could care less about it, but now I'm just curious!

I dont know about flavored, but the nurses hooked me up with ice chips during my labor because my mouth was dry from the meds, and boyyyyyyy was that amazing, something so simple.

oooh that sno cone looks amazing!

When I was younger my Mom used to make ice cubes out of apple cider, so they'd be flavored and we would just eat those. Amazing! I'll def consider this

This is exactly what came to my mind when I read the subject line. 

Other than a sno cone...I have no idea what they are referring to. But it sounds like a GREAT idea!

I think Target should start carrying sno-cone flavoring here pretty soon.

My list has this too!  I was wondering the same thing!  My first thought was crystal light, but then I remembered that I'm not eating artificial sugars while pregnant, so I guess kool-aid?  Maybe in those little individual serving sizes?  I might try it for fun...

Oooo a bubble gum blue snow cone...  drool.  My hospital recommended lemon or lime juice to flavor the ice chips because the acidity can also fight any metallic taste left over from the meds.  Personally, I am thinking of raiding Starbucks and swiping a bottle of White Chocolate Mocha flavoring!
