Slurpee, Old School. Cola or Cherry?

[Oliveloaf]

Remember when there was just the two flavors? Neither actually tasted like its name suggested.

Which was your favorite?

Lord, for the days before everything was licensed and branded.

I always hated Cola flavor. Ugh, it was just...deeply repulsive. Cherry was what I'd go for. When they had more flavors, I'd make a suicide, layering the different fruity flavors together with nary a drop of Cola. Cherry went on the very bottom and then one little dollop on the very top (for the cherry on top, of course).

[RabbitMage]

Cherry all the way. The cola always tasted like icy, flat soda to me. I can make that shit at home.

[Marsilia]

Yeah. The only cola flavored thing I like is...cola.

[Orual]

I like frozen cokes. Almost as much as I like fake blue flavoring.

[Taumpy]

I never had Slurpees as a kid. Slush Puppies FTW! (and the best flavor was blue)

My brother does service work for Icee machines and I'll let you in on a little secret: They found that if they use RC Cola syrup for the "Coke" Icees people find the taste to be far more appealing, so if you get a "Coke" Icee and it tastes like crap, its probably because the place is using genuine Coca-Cola syrup rather than the RC Cola syrup.

This podcast has some info on the history of Slurpees and similar drinks.

I knew RC was good for something.
