Scrumptious Slurpee Cups

The Slush Mug Allows Users to Turn Carbonated Drinks Into Slurpees

— May 12, 2011 — Tech
If you're a fan of slushy drinks commonly found at your local convenience store, you can make you own slurpees with this Slush Mug.

The Slush Mug freezes carbonated soda drinks using a patented Glaciercore, which is to be frozen and placed in the core of the mug. The user then pours their favorite drink into the Slush Mug and, within minutes, users will have an icy cold slush drink that's consistently frozen throughout and only costs the user the price of a soda pop. The Glaciercore can maintain its freezing-temperature properties for up to two hours, so there's no risk of your slushy melting right before your eyes.

The Slush Mug definitely saves people time and labor in making slush drinks since they will no longer have to deal with ice and blenders.
