How do I Use a Slurpee Machine?

Slurpees are carbonated slushee drinks.

Invented in the early 1960s, the frozen slushee is a carbonated frozen drink. Around 1965, the convenient store chain 7-Eleven began installing these slushee machines at their stores. 7-Eleven branded these treats as Slurpees. The drink became popular and has become a closely-associated asset of the company. The Slurpee machine is not manned by an attendant. Instead, customers are encouraged to use the machine and dispense Slurpees themselves. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings

Occasionally a Slurpee flavor has not chilled completely. You will notice this if the Slurpee mix is more of a liquid than a slush. If this occurs, choose another flavor.
