Who Invented The Famous Drink – Slurpees?
Omar Knedlik invented machines to make frozen beverages 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.
A little-known secret was that Omar owned and operated a Dairy Queen at the time, prompting him to invent a machine to make the drink on demand. The machine combined flavor mix, water, and carbon dioxide to create a fizzy, slushy soda.
