Bridging the Gap - The cultural exchange thread

[Kosheh]

Gonna hit up this thread later, I love this thread omg

Apparently we're the only place where frozen Coke is a thing, is that true?

I think we've talked about this? New Zealand/AUS is probably the only place where McDonald's exclusively sells "frozen Coke".
Our Burger King restaurants in the US also have frozen Coke, but because licensing deals, it has a different name: the ICEE.

(seriously, click on the link and read what's on the glass cup that you do not get with the actual drink)

Burger King sells this is both Coke and Cherry flavors - apparently Cherry is the more popular flavor though? (When I order a Coke ICEE I end up getting Cherry 3/4 of the time, wtf)
Also worth noting: ICEEs, other than Cherry and Coke, fucking suck

It's kind of a limited-market thing I guess, but there's also 7-eleven's "Slurpee", which takes the idea steps further with crazier flavors. Then there's other weird gas-station variants on the idea. They're generally more "fluffy" though; I don't exactly understand the science behind it. ):

** It's worth noting though that Pepsi had their own "Pepsi Freeze" variant in convenience stores, too that had a more "slush" consistency (shredded ice in soda; kind of a "wetter" consistency. The "Freeze" name still lives on in Taco Bell stores through variations of Mountain Dew-branded Freeze drinks)
