The wrath of summers in India is not unknown to us! And in our attempt to escape the heat, we stick to anything that is chilled, cool, and soothing like juices, ice creams, chilled desserts, curd-based dishes, etc. The sweltering heat does make you desperate, so much so that you might even hold on to a slab of ice for a minute of relief. However, would you consider eating a slab of ice too? Well, not exactly a slab, but shaved ice?

The caption on the video does not mention the exact location of the vendor; instead, the video has just 'Ice gol gappa' written on it with a heart emoji. Some of the funniest comments we came through were:

"Why God why"
"Not gonna lie I wish I was blind"
"What monstrosity have you created?"
