The history of Slurpee
Seven-Eleven approved frozen drinks at the Omar Knee, which founded what became the Ice Company in 1965. According to Kansas Public Radio, he partially frozen bottles of cola at the Dairy Queen Franchise in Coffeyville, Kansas.
According to Smithsonian Magazine, with the help of John E. Mitchell Manufacturing Firm, he designed the machine in 1960, patented it in 1962, and began calling it Icee. The Dallas, Texas-based manufacturer that produced shells and missiles during World War II sold 300 machines within five years, data news site Prasonomics.com reports. When 7-Eleven purchased the machine, the company called out that version of the drink “Slurpee.”
