Go Back
The history of slushies can be traced back to the early 1950s when they began to gain popularity in the United States. The original frozen treat was created by accident when a machine malfunctioned, blending ice and syrup into a delightful icy concoction. Since then, slushies have evolved significantly, with countless variations and flavor combinations emerging over the decades. From traditional snow cones to sophisticated fruit blends, slushies have become a staple in summer refreshment.
