Feeling Hot Hot Hot

It's been a hot one lately and as everyone knows, the only real way to cool off is with a slushy. (Slurpee, Slush Puppy, Icee, they are all the same thing) Did you know that Calgarians are the 2nd biggest consumers of Slurpee's in North America? Neither did I. For more fun Slurpee facts check out these guys.

Here are my picks for the 5 worst and best flavours:

Worst
5. Sour Apple - I have a great idea, let's take not ripe apples and make a totally different flavour out of them that tastes like your grandma smells, then let's dye it green, and call it sour apple.

4. Pineapple - Should be left for Luaus and fruit salad.

3. Licorice - Gross, gross, gross, gross, gross, GROSS!

2. Cream soda - Cream soda is the number one cause of ADD.

1. Banana - Who actually likes artificial banana flavour? The only person I know of who does is my grade 7 teacher, and he lives by himself with about 30 cats.

Honorable Mentions: Mountain Dew, Cherry, French Vanilla, and Candy Cane

Best:

5. Orange - Any sort of fruit pop is always good, it mixes well with everything and the amount of food dye and sugar in them are sure to keep you ticking for a couple of days.

4. Grape - Same as above.

3. 7up - Now you may be thinking that 7up has not to much flavour. Exactly the point. It serves as a buffer zone between the fruit and the pop.

2. Cola - Coke, Pepsi, they are both the same, and they are both a staple in my cup.

1. Root Beer - This is the most rare flavour of slush for good reason, it's the best. If there were root beer slushies everywhere I would be at least 900 pounds.

Honourable Mentions: Watermelon, Lime, Blue Raspberry, and Dr Pepper.

Stay Cool
