Icee really fell off it seems. Used to be you could get them in a bunch of gas station, convenience stores, target, etc. now I think the only ones in my city are in a couple movie theaters. Everyone has knockoff icee machines or slushes now. Is this true across the world or just my small slice of it?

I have been told that the Slurpee is just a rebranded Icee with the same machine and syrup from the Icee factory, but I can’t believe it. They’re different, the Slurpee is king.

Slurpee = coke (with some cheery put in) Any other iced beverage machine = blue raspberry

It's pretty much just the movies and Target now which yeah is a real bummer. Icees are so much better than CUICKMAHRTFREAZE or whatever. QuikTrip especially desperately needs an upgrade, that poo poo is bad.

I guess that is the thing best said about QuikTrip slushes is that those poor motherfuckers who work there clean that poo poo out every day. That hose they use must put out really hot water too because when I was there last week and it was 45 C at like 5:00 PM and dude looked like he was going to drop dead right into the Hornchata slush machine. Worse ways to go I reckon tho.

They got like 15 kinds of slushy machines at QUIK trip but I rarely see anyone pour one. I had the tropical punch one once but it was definitely way too sweet if you're not a child. Great flavor though very similar to tropical punch Kool aid

Fartington Butts posted:Those didn't all get replaced with Starbuckses? Depends on the target. My local one has both. It's been a long time since I've beern inside it though to be fair. Like the first weekend of the pandemic where I said to the cashier "well hopefully when this passes things get back to normal quick" and she said, "oh you think this is going to pass?" Smart girl. They have the best car pick up shopping though so I still use them a lot, I just no longer go inside.

Slush Puppy doesn't exist anymore, does it? I think the last time I saw one was in an Ames somewhere between 1995-2000??? Of all the chain gas stations that have slushy/icee type machines Speedway is the one that my kid craves. You can do cherry/blue raspberry/sprite so its like one of those red white and blue popsicles, or you can squirt some vanilla into a Coke to have a vanilla coke slushy. My nearest gas station is a Fastrac, and they have Jolly Rancher flavored ones. But it's like really grainy big ice chunks, not a smooth slush or shaved ice. It's the perfect size that you can suck it down hard through a straw without clogging, and also cold enough to give you the worst brainfreeze ever and also make your entire esophagus hurt. And it tastes like cough syrup. Yum!

I’m on the other side of the country for work and I found an icee machine in a target. Icee is still the best, I’ll not sure how it works but it has by far the best texture of any icee/slushy style drink

I hand them weed as currency often for slushies. Bribing people with free weed makes me feel like jimmy from good fellas. For me any day is BYO cup day and the loving size has no limits. For example: come in growler of white claw cherry. Fill to top with slushie add vodka Enjoy at beach. Cost me a gram of shatter but my dude the slushie. It's size and girth. It's very size gave me impotence. ----------------

If the pot ever goes empty and gets cleaned you ruin the complex tapestry of sensation and have to start all over. Some movie theatres have been seasoning their Icee machines for almost a century now.

i traveled 1.5 miles from my house to a 7-eleven (more like IN-convenience store) and tried a slurpee, and this is an actual good icee knockoff. wonderfully light and fluffy while remaining drinkable. i comboed the cherry and coke and it was like a trip back to my childhood

Slurpees are better for cola flavors. Icees are better for everything else. I can’t explain it, that’s just how it is.

The Circle K by the south side of University of Arizona still has an icee machine. Its days might be numbered because over the last two years every Circle K but this one has been renovated and the icee machines are replaced with shake machines that stop working 2 days after the renovation and never work again but at least for now it's there.

I wonder which of these is most equivalent to the defunct Mac’s Froster, which was slightly superior to the Slurpee (overall better consistency)

McDonald’s new Sprite Lymonade Icee owns, and is somehow according to the order board 70 kcal instead of the 110 of the Coke or blue flavor. It’s not really Sprite, it’s lemonade, no idea why the branding, it’s even yellow not clear like Sprite. As for Coke Zero, I thought that you need sugar for the Icee magic to work?
