SNOOPY IS THE SNO=CONE KING

Around 550 BC, ancient Persians invent the grape sno-cone by pouring grape juice concentrate over snow that was kept cold for the summer months. 

In 499 BC, the Greco-Persian Wars begin, kicking off thousands of years of bloodshed and tension between Europe and the Middle East/Persia region.

After World War II, the UK, US and Soviet Union begin directly influencing Iranian politics, with the US exerting incredible influence over the country and Iranian culture, slowly making Persia more and more Western.

In January 1979, the last Shah of Iran was exiled, starting the Iranian Revolution, which expelled the Shah and all Western powers from the country. The long game to capture Persia’s sno-cone technology seems to have been lost.

Later that year, the Snoopy Sno-Cone Machine was launched, bringing quick and easy sno-cones to the world.

Now see the top picture? That’s a yakhchal, an ancient Persian building that was specifically built to keep ice and snow from the winter months cold so they could make their grape sno-cones in summer.

Now look at the bottom picture. See Snoopy’s hat? You always wondered about that hat, right? Maybe it was supposed to be a dollop of sno-cone, or maybe some Devo reference? Ha ha, no.

HE IS THE SNO-CONE KING. HE CAN DO ANYTHING.
