Sprite sells lymonade soda... It's yellow and has a more pronounced lemon over lime flavor. Our gas stations sell it in the fountain or I probably wouldn't have heard of it either.

Our McDonald's doesn't sell such a slushie though

Possibly on an industrial/commercial scale but I've had someone with a personal icee/slushie/whatever machine make up a batch with Coke Zero and Maker's at a party and it was great

IIRC lymonade is a summer flavor for Sprite.

They've been selling it year round at my gas station in 20oz bottles and in the fountain for a few years now. Your mileage may vary. I prefer it to regular sprite.

I saw an ICEE TRUCK at Church's Chicken so I'm assuming they have Icees inside there. I tried to take a picture of it but there was just constant comic mishaps.

I know at least one gas station that still sells Slush Puppies. You can't mix your flavors anymore, though. I still remember my Dad introducing me to the concept of a 'suicide', which was some of each flavor. Makes it come out black.

I was going to say the slurpees don't taste like nostalgia but they do too. I miss the round lenticular baseball card things that used to come on the bottoms of the cups.

I drank a lot of slush puppies as a kid at the local clam shack type place. But what I remember most is how unlike an icee (apart from not being carbonated), the puppy has all these backwashy bits floating around, like coconut or something. And it was kind of gross. I probably always got blue flavor and that color often has coconut so I wouldn't be surprised if that was why. Coconut can be ok, but gd not in drinks. Ok that's my slush puppy story. Now it's mostly one of those things that young people buy nostalgic tee shirts from Walmart.

I had the idea that one could maybe make their own and ended up on a with a very interesting translation

https://uptownbaby.com/slush-puppie-machine-instruction

Anyway apparently there is a home machine and it seems incredibly loud on the video. As I initially imagined, the machine is basically a blender with another blender full of ice inside.

The “Slush Whaler” machines in convenience stores are quieter and there is some sort of additional engineering that automatically mix the water and syrup in and I am guessing have some sort of chilling element which is why you don’t see someone adding ice to these machines all day long. So my guess is, pretty expensive.

This doesn’t really answer your question but it was a nice distraction from the ennui.

I remember being super excited several years ago to find that Highs still existed, and then super disappointed that they did not in fact have slush puppies anymore. However I did find a gas station in Laurel that still has them. Only 2 flavors and you don't get to pump your own, however.

drat the (home) Icee machines are way cheaper.

Commercial, seems you got to get in contact with the company and it looks like a whole franchisee thing. Maybe that's whence the icee went, generic slush machines became relatively cheap compared to paying some guy to rent an icee machine from who is also paying a cut to big Icee themselves.

As a kid the Slush Puppie machine was always behind the counter and you had to ask the clerk for blue or red. My mother would send me over from the laundrymat to get a blue Slush Puppie and a pack of Salem Slim Lights.

all the homemade slush puppie recipes I'm seeing mix the flavoring in with the ice instead of crushing the ice then adding the syrup. are tiny little pearls of ice floating in an ice cold sea of flavor losttech?

My dad would take me to get them and as a kid I felt like there were ten or twenty different flavors but it looks like there were 6, but he taught me about making a suicide which was to mix up all the flavors til it turned black. Thinking back this surely was a reference to an alcoholic drink.

Whence the iciee? It's at Golden corral next to the ice cream machine and it's AYCD. But don't drink too much because it will fill your stomach with carbonation and you won't have any room for the bad food. Don't fall for their ploy. Thence the icee.
