Where do you get yours at? They are great to beat the heat, and I love 'em.

Burger King - killer berry icees... King size can't be beat... great deal too..... I think its like $2.20 and it's huge. Flavors: Berry and Coke

McDonalds - new official icee tightwads. They no longer sell "Large" icees...... only small and medium. And its the regular sized medium cup. Price:$2.05 This is a HUGE AND INSULTING RIP OFF compared to the King size at BK. Note-You can sweet talk yourself into a Lg icee at Mickey D's if you're nice, but never from a mickey manager. Flavors: Cherry and Coke

Target - they have nailed the market for the discriminating icee drinker. They by far have the most adventurous flavors. Tastes and colors that you will not get anywhere else. Targets icee team is like the A-team. Another awesome extra, is that you get to fix your own icee. But watch out, it foams up big time and it will overflow from your cup (whoever sells you your icee cup there will probably warn you about this). As far as prices go, I really can't remember, cuz they have such awesome flavors I'd pay anything to drink them. Flavors: White Cherry, Some kind of blue something, assorted jolly rancher flavors, and all types of other surprises.

Sam's - Great deals on icees. I think a large is like a dollar and change. They don't always have the most cutting edge flavors, but a bargain nonetheless. Flavors: Cherry and Coke

Gas Station at NE corner of Rasch and Cloverdale: Just discovered that this place has a self serve icee machine. Kick*** I say! But not so fast, they only have one size (small) and it's expensive ($1.75ish??) Flavors: Coke and some blue kind (CAUTION - the blue kind is not good)



Quick note on "generic" type icees. Lifesavor flavors, and other assorted non-syndicated frozen beverages - I don't really like those so lets just talk about icees.

Sooooooooo.... who else loves em and where else can you find em???

I have to say that I am surprised to find another Icee lover.

I have always loved an Icee and especially now that it is hotter than the hob of hell and I am 9 months pregnant...Icees are the GREATEST!

I love the target Icees, too. I like to layer them. So far the best combo was green apple and watermelon. Yum!

I didn't know you could get them at McDonald's!!
Parrot Ice.... thats the one I could not think of. They are OK in a pinch, but much "grainier" than an Icee. Parrot Ices can be good as they usually have some little cups so you can get a sample and taste first.

By the way, I had a King Size Berry from BK today.... Wooo-Hoooo. It was awesome. After working outside all day, nothing cools you off faster. But don't drink it too fast or you'll get stomach freeze.
Ok.... let's talk about the dirty under-belly of the icee world. And we all know what these are.... Brain Freeze and Stomach Freeze.

CAUTION - Icees can hurt you if you drink them too fast.

Stomach Freeze is what gets me the most often. It's caused by gulping down icees like they were sweet tea. It's a real crampy feeling that starts in your stomach and radiates all the way out to your fingertips through the bottom-side of your arms (at least thats what it does to me) If you start to sense stomach freeze, slow down the gulping of the icee and maybe take a few sips of hot coffee if anyone has any nearby.


Brain Freeze can be just as nasty... kind of like a quick mini-headache..... I dont get this too often, but it can happen.

If you get either, just hang in there..... it will pass. Just give yourself about 15 minutes and you'll be fine.
ok. I have had my share of the immobilizing brain freezes. Of course, as soon as it eases up I will immediately start sucking down my Icee again.

Stomach freeze I have never had because I get freezer throat first.

You know how it is--your throat gets so freaking cold from the Icee that it starts burning and hurting and it's all you can do to swallow for a moment or two.

I don't think I could stand it if my head, throat and belly were all freezing over at once.
Went to McD's on Florence Blvd. today... asked for a Large cherry icee..... the lady explains to me that they no longer have large just medium (I already know this but play along)...I told her that was fine and I'd just take whatever. She proceeds to slowly turn around and grab a LARGE CUP..... and yeah you know the rest.... She gave me a large for the price of a medium.... WOO-HOO!
