This odd little hole in the wall snack shop is every child's dream, and every dentist's worst nightmare. its like an ice cream truck, but larger... and not a truck. they provide the largest variety of non-food items (meaning, 0 nutrition value) ive seen! from candy, chips, and other shelf-stable goodies, to ice cream, smoothies, and milkshakes. if children yelped, they'd be all over this place. the majority of their clientele can barely reach the counter, struggling in attempt to hand over their well-saved lunch money in exchange for unforseen cavities and tooth decay. honestly, its kinda sad... but what are you gonna do?

I found this place when i first moved here, eagerly searching for an affordable and conveniently located water store... cha-ching! they're close to home, there's virtually no wait, and water's cheap! i think its something like 20 cents/gallon for non-members. but if you put down a 15 dollar deposit, you become a "member" and pay only 15 cents a gallon! the young girls behind the counter (no, this is not why i come here each and every week) keep a binder with everyone's name in it and after the first couple visits, its basically a self-service transaction. i come in, fill up my containers, and say, "adios muchachas."

I have no idea if their water is reverse osmosis or just plain old drinking water. for all i know, they could be selling me filtered tap water... but it sure tastes good!

One more thing - their address is Aneheim, but they're actually located on Junipero, just north of the intersection. if you blink, you may miss it.
