Does anyone remember the Icee's and Slush puppy drinks from childhood?

Question

I was just thinking about them. Are they basically the same thing? I have not seen either machine in ages. I was wondering also if you could get a home sized hush puppy machine?

Answer 1

I loved slush puppies.  I still see them around on a rare occasion.  But not as much.  I never heard of icee's before, but they are probably the same thing.  And yes, you can find machines for home that are kind of the same thing.

Good luck finding one, and thanks for the walk down memory lane.  :0)

Answer 2

I do.

Answer 3

7-11 has them

Answer 4

yah, they still have them.  

Answer 5

yup, i see them both all the time still. icee's are way better then slush puppies though....theres basically a slush puppy machine at every corner store in the city i'm in lol.

Answer 6

oh man i used to love both of those! they still have icees at movie theaters near me, & they have slurpees (basically the same thing) at 7-11 & cumberland farms. i haven't seen a slush puppy in years though. it's not quite the same thing as an icee, i don't think: the ice is chunkier & the whole drink is more liquidy, whereas an icee has finely ground ice & is smoother & fluffier. i prefer icees, especially the blue ones, but i have very fond memories of both! :-)

Answer 7

Oh yeah i remember those.........They had the great big machine in the back and the big cup up there would spin around and around! Wow, i love those...we used to walk to the corner store to get them....we called it the "puppy" store cuz of those....mmmm.

Answer 8

um chyeah they're still around. it might depend what state you live in, but im in GA and they're in some gas stations, like race trac if you have that one. or u could buy a machine. =] that'd be freakin awesome!

Answer 9

You can get both Icee and Slush Puppy where I live too. I just think that when something loses popularity in an area they tend not to sell it anymore.

Answer 10

i remember them!

you can still get icees in my town.  

Answer 11

I do remember them. My father bought a machine that shaves the ice at K-mart a long time ago and then he just adds Koolaid to the shaved ice.

Answer 12

I love slush puppies and icee's i had about two yesterday when i was at a theme park haha.

i think they're basically the same thing and if you go to a store where they sell toasters and things like that they might have one. In Australia you can get one thats quite handy to use at home =D

Answer 13

We still have them near my area like in Martins.

I think they are the same thing.

Answer 14

That would be cool, The Icee's were the BEST!!!!

Answer 15

i remember the Icees and in my Ga where im from i can still buy them
