PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- It's a first day of spring tradition.
Rita's is serving up free Italian ice -- better known as water ice in Philadelphia -- to celebrate the start of the season.
Everyone who stops at a Rita's can get a free six-ounce cup with any available flavor on Thursday.
Among the options is Rita's new flavor: Skittles Italian Ice.
The chain is also adding Skittles Pop'd freeze-dried candies to its toppings lineup.
