It's funny you mention that gas station. Years back, someone propositioned me about buying that station. If I owned it I would put a Icee machine in it. Ha. It’s funny you mention that gas station.

The texture is different. You can get almost the right texture by freezing a cola and using a blender on it. But the freezing process also separates the soda into different layers of flavor/hardness. I don't know how to fix that. It’s not the same. The texture is different. You can get almost the right texture by freezing a cola and using a blender on it.

Icee machines have a freeze and thaw cycle that sometimes means that I can't have an Icee because the red light is on. I hate the red light. I believe the machines themselves are different.

And I love snowballs! But I haven't had any of the concoctions mentioned in your letter in FOREVER. So my opinion means nothing. But I say send your letter! It's great!

One of the school custodians around here rebuilt a broken one at school and now serves the best slushies to his grandkids and Joanna.

Do you think the difference in texture is because of how the machines are designed, or do you think it's a special ingredient?
