Years ago, I sent Andy to the store for ketchup, and he came back with that weird Heinz colored ketchup that was supposed to be fun. I smacked him on the mouth and told him to leave. Ketchup is red, and I have no idea what unnatural, car battery-like substance was used to make it purple or green, but it’s not that way in the bible, and it won’t be that way on my hamburger.
I’ve always had an aversion to foods that challenge social norms. Peanut butter and jelly in the same jar, crab in a can, seedless cucumbers….it’s all just witchcraft.
But, I have a weakness for As Seen on TV gadgets. The Magic Bullet single-handedly changed my life, and I lifted a car off a baby once wearing pajama jeans.
So when I saw Slushy Magic…
I had to have it.
Make every drink a slushy? No way. Impossible. Or is it?
$14.99 later and you are wondering, Brittany, does Slushy Magic really work?
Turns out it does. You pour whatever you want to slusherize into the cup, toss in the three magic bags of frozen ozone and polar bear blood, shake for 1-2 minutes, and BOOM. Slushy. Milk, juice, water, soda… all turned into home made little icees. 7-11 wha!?
Because I’m an envelope pusher, and frozen milk is for babies, I decided to give it the ultimate test, alcohol.
Now, with any other beverage, the shake time is easily just a minute, but since alcohol doesn’t really freeze, I decided to shake it a little extra just to be sure. I mean, it was obviously no big deal, I have Madonna arms.
Three minutes later…
Boom. Moscato slushy.
To be fair, it probably could have been shaken more to get a bit thicker and ice-like, but it was a good first try. Now you may be saying to yourself, but Brittany, why not just blend the wine with some ice, it’s way easier than shaking it? And to that I would say 1. why are you so lame, and B. this way is less watery, because it’s wine ice, not water ice. Stop making me explain Hogwarts magic to you.
You need to try that stuff that turns bath water into jello…..same thing on a larger scale.
This post. I fucking love you, girl.
AND this is why i love you.
I. Love. You.
Thanks for introducing me to slushy magic. This is now essential to my life. If I don’t get it, I may die.
Brilliant. And much better process than just accidentally forgetting the wine in the freezer.
Omg I know… The green ketchup made me gag! Love this!
Awesome. Must have. Margaritas fo sho.
okay, i am an as seen on tv junkie too… snuggy, pajama jeans, magic bullet, topsy turvy… you name it, i’ve probably tried it… so of COURSE i’ve been eyeing the shit out of this thing… BUT, totally weirded out by the stuff you add. what is it??? please do tell…
This is seriously a drinking mom’s best friend.
You smacked him in the mouth?! That is in really poor taste. I know you’re trying to be funny but that’s really offensive.
Really?? If you are offended then stop reading it.
How does that work unless you can go back in time and unread it? Once someone is offended, it’s too late to stop reading. Im not saying I found the remark offensive, just that your response is nonsensical.
You just made my whole Saturday.
Two years ago for my birthday my husband went on e-bay and paid an exorbitant amount for an old-school Snoopy Sno-cone maker. He knows my love of slushee/sno-cone type things and thought it would be a fun retro gift. Turns out he might as well have lit his $50 on fire because that thing sucks balls! The sound it makes as it “shaves” the ice puts my teeth on edge and by the time your done with the first cube your ice shavings are just a cup of cold water…. A week ago he surprised me with a Slushee Magic, and while what I really want is a professional Sno-cone machine, this will hold me over for now….. Moscato slushee here I come!
try the Ice shaver from Pampered Chef, soooo awesome, and then you add in sugary flavored syurp.
This. Is. Awesome.
Now I need a wine slushy.
My daughter and I get so excited everytime we see that commercial on TV. We HAVE GOT to get one. I would never have thought to use it on my wine- U are brilliant!
OMG – thank you for testing this! I’m getting one for the kids and one for mommy – instant margaritas and pina coladas!! Woo hoo!
NEED. I won’t rest until I have one. In other ASOTV News: The Perfect Brownie Pan is a box of lies and heartache. And Eggies really aren’t worth the added ten minutes. And cleaning them sucks hard. I can’t comment on my Shake Weight because I have literally held it for all of three and a half minutes. And the Bump It…well, it’s actually a little bit awesome.
I mentioned it before.. you need to invest in an actual Slushie Machine. It is all kinds of awesome! You dont have to shake shake shake it to make it!! Some slushie base, flavor gallons of your choice… MAGICAL ADULT SLUSHIES! PLUS! You get props for being the mom with the slushie machine!
And now, I want an adult Bahama Mama shushie with coconut rum, for breakfast.. at work!:)
Insta-Daiquiri
Yuummmm, wine slushy.
I saw these in the store and thought about getting them for the kids, but I didn’t want to waste my money. Now I guess I’ll have to give them a try.
Magical! Must. Try. Soon. :D
