Etymology
The word "slushy" is derived from the Middle English word "slusshe," which itself comes from the Old English word "slus," meaning "wet mud or snow."
Meaning
A slushy is a semi-solid, icy drink that is made with crushed ice and a flavored syrup. It is similar to a milkshake, but has a less creamy texture.
Origin
The exact origin of slushies is unknown, but they are thought to have originated in the United States in the early 20th century. One of the first recorded instances of a slushy being served was at a concession stand at the 1936 World's Fair in New York City.
In the 1950s, slushies became popular at drive-in restaurants and gas stations. In the 1970s, they were introduced to convenience stores and grocery stores, and they have remained popular ever since.
