I would like to talk for a moment about Slurpees.

[Colonel Flagg]

Every time I stop at our local convenience store with the kids, they whine and bitch about getting an "ICEE" or a squishee, or whatever the hell brand it is (not a Slurpee) - they're usually fluorescent blue or red in color, and taste of sugar syrup and dye. If I'm feeling weak-willed, I'll let them get a small cup filled half-way, and figure they'll be good and wired for about 4-6 hours.

[Aimless]

aww, that's sweet of you. how old are they?

[Wiffle Bat]

very nice. they're pretty easy to make at home too ^^

[Aimless]

I have a slushee maker thingie, I never use it though.. I have no idea why. I used to have one of those snoopy snowcone machines when I was a kid, I still have no idea how they expected kids to be able to use it.

You madame, have no right to bitch about the store always being out of coke slurpee. You should make an ass tone of it and set up a booth outside the store and sell em. You know the coke flavor is what everyone wants. You could make a killing. Oh and you now owe me 10% of whatever you make.

I like slush puppies best, y'all.

Can I get cordial syrup and pour it into crushed ice? Is that how I make one? I really want to try now.

Cordial might not be the American term. It's stuff you add water to to make water taste nice for kids.

[Chojin]

it's just shaved/crushed ice with flavored syrup in it for a snowball, but slush puppies are like a slush mixed with syrup. idk how you'd get that consistency for a drink at home.

A slurpee generally has a softer texture to it, again idk how you'd make one at home.

[Zhukov]

Eh, maybe I'll get one the next time I'm on the mainland. My initial excitement has dissipated somewhat, although "Slush Puppies are like a slush mixed with syrup" still holds a sort of mysterious charm.

Do you have snow cones there Zhukov?
