Yahoo! Slurp Spider!

I don't know why but this phrase makes me want to head over to the Sev.

What was your favorite flavor of slurpee (or slushee) growing up? My favorite flavor was blue.

Growing up it was blue, but recently I've been digging the banana flavor from 7-11

High five on the blue, Serge! What do you think would be hell's chef's best flavor? I think it's brown but he would NEVER admit to it.

Fuck that shit. I won't eat nothin' blue or gray. Alright, I do eat blueberries occasionally but that's where I draw the line.

As long as it came in one of those cool plastic Marvel Superheroes cups, I wasn't too particular about the color. That said, I enjoyed a cola flavored slurpee every now and again.

Coke flavor here.


But we were [medium] po' folk.

Ice Cones and Fudge bars from the Ice Cream Man were what we got every once in a Blue Moon. If we were lucky, Dad allowed us to have a 50/50 bar.

I liked the blue the best, as well, which I believe was actually blue raspberry although I spent much more time eating blue raspberry Mr. Freezes because my dad sold those.

Oh yeah. On Bourbon Street you can get all sorts of alcoholic slushees. They have like fifty flavors in tumblers (think laundromat drying machine) across a wall. I mean I am sure everybody already knows this. I used to get a Bellini. I think it had champagne and peach or other fruit flavor maybe.

me wag, do you know Otter Pops? I used to like the blue Otter Pops too. I think it was Louie Blueberry. Actually I totally remember Mr. Freezes which were really really good but my mom would buy Otter Pops for some reason - either they were cheaper at our grocery store or she fell for the cartoon marketing.

Nope, I've never even heard of Otter Pops but after searching the web it obviously is pretty much the same thing but with a cuter marketing concept. I could be wrong but I don't recall seeing Mr. Freeze's being available in multitudes but only as one single ready-to-go individual pop from the freezer section.

It'd be really nice to have one right now in this sweltering 95 degree day we are having here.

I loved lime slushies from the drive-in in North Ridge, ON that my Dad used to take us to on many summer weekends. Until, one Sunday afternoon, I inadvertently dumped one all over the upholstery of his new 1971 Plymouth convertible. I never heard the end of that horrifying moment, and never ordered a slushie again in Dad's presence, lest the nightmare arise all over again and the ghostly greenish stain be pointed at yet again as an ineradicable sign of my childish shortcomings.

Shucks, you think slurpees is going to be a safe subject… That sounds damn bad, Al. Your dad sounds a little like my dad in that Nothing bad that ever happened was just an accident but came of our egregious stupidity. Um, maybe the bright side is that you ingested less high fructose corn syrup than the rest of us kids? Maybe…
