A Slurpee is a slushy frozen carbonated beverage sold at 7-Eleven stores.

History.

Machines to make frozen beverages were invented by Omar Knedlik in the late 1950s.

The idea for a slushed ice drink came when Knedlik's soda fountain broke down, forcing him to put his sodas in a freezer to stay cool, which caused them to become slushy.

The result was popular with customers, which gave him the idea to make a machine to help make a "slushy" from carbonated beverages.

When it became popular, Knedlik hired artist Ruth E.

Taylor to create a name and logo for his invention.

She created the ICEE name and designed the original logo, which is used today.

Early prototypes for the machine made use of an automobile air conditioning unit.

An ice-cream headache, also known as brain freeze, cold-stimulus headache, trigeminal headache or its given scientific name sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia (meaning "nerve pain of the sphenopalatine ganglion"), is a form of brief pain or headache commonly associated with consumption (particularly quick consumption) of cold beverages or foods such as ice cream and ice pops.

It is caused by having something cold touch the roof of the mouth (palate), and is believed to result from a nerve response causing rapid constriction and swelling of blood vessels or a "referring" of pain from the roof of the mouth to the head.

The rate of intake for cold foods has been studied as a contributing factor.

Ice-cream headache is distinct from dentin hypersensitivity, a type of pain that can occur under similar circumstances.
