        <content>Hey, all...  Talking with coworkers...  We're being nostalgic and wondering where we can find Slush Puppies in the Phoenix/Tempe area...  Anyone know?

      <content>The last place I had one was the convenience store on the south end of downtown Gilbert, but that's pushing two decades ago at this point.  The main place I think of for Slush Puppies is in convenience stores.  Each of the major c-store chains has frozen drinks (7-Eleven's Slurpee, QT's Freezoni, and the widespread Icee are some examples), but these are different from Slush Puppies because the Slurpee et al. are made with a carbonated base, while Slush Puppies are non-carbonated.  Since the big chains are out, I think your best bet for finding a Slush Puppie is going to be checking mom-n-pop convenience stores.

A close competing product is Dairy Queen's Arctic Rush (formerly the Misty Slush, formerly the Mr. Misty), which the last I knew was made in a fashion very similar to the Slush Puppie, unflavored sweetened base with flavor syrup added to it.</content>
