Our shaved ice is serverd with simple fruit flavored syrup

Funny you should mention that. The past three years I've had a summer job at a Hawaiian Shave Ice confectionary along the "Loveland" bike trail. (There are plans to make this bike trail run from Cincinnati to Cleveland.) Anyway, At this place we have an ice shaver in which you simply put bags of small cubed iced and it shaves it that way. Much easier than a huge block of ice and an exposed blade. I counted once, and I think we have about 55 flavors at this place. It's a great job, especially when there are concerts in the park across the trail. And of course, no, I don't have a real job, I'm still in high school and I spend too much time here.
