Slurpee of the trip!

Left to Right-

1. Banana
2. Banana and Dragon Fruit
3. Dragon Fruit, Banana, Cherry
4. Banana and Dragon Fruit

Sam's take: With the new month came a new flavor. Dragonfruit is kinda like blue Sweet-tart. Our reactions varied, but mixing it with banana produced my favorite Slurpee thus far.

Now if only it could run on Cherry syrup

Left to Right:

1. Monster Black Ice and Coke
2 and 3. Monster Black Ice and Cherry
4. Monster Black Ice and Coke

And again, we get to introduce a newbie to the Slurpee world. This time it's Mr. Ross Miller (of the Joystiq.com Ross Millers), who came into town for PAX weekend.

If it looks like these Slurpee's are on the hood of an H3, that's because they are. It was Austin's rental car.

He's a man now.

Left to Right-

1 and 2: Cherry and Coke

3. Cherry and Gridiron Ice

4. Cherry straight up.

Sam's take: Austin rolled into town (more on that in the next photo) and needed to experience this beverage he'd heard so much about. Buying a person their first Slurpee ever is a truly important life experience.

Right: Gridiron Ice

Sam's take - The 7/11 by the Space Needle holds a special place in our hearts. Despite its complete lack of public bathrooms (this is the second time that's been an issue) it provides an easy way to enjoy a Slurpee while viewing the Needle, the super cool giant fountain (see my facebook videos for more on that) and the . . . well, the crappy carnival stuff that, for some reason, litters the area.

Pina Colada mixes well with a lot of things, and isn't disgusting no matter what Jonathan tells you. The mix here is great, but it makes me wish there was a vanilla Slurpee.

8/26/2008 - Not-quite-right

Left: Jonathan's "Traffic Light" Slurpee, made from Cherry, Banana, and a disturbingly green Blue Raspberry.

Right: Cherry and the aforementioned bizarre "Blue" Raspberry

Sam's take - Today I learned an important lesson: If the color you see through that little window in the Slurpee machine doesn't seem quite right, go find another 7-11. The in-no-way blue raspberry tasted as off as it looked. The rest of my Slurpee was a magnified, almost luminescent version of cherry.

I only drank about half of mine.

8/25/2008 - Disparities

Left: Banana and Cherry

Right: Banana, Cherry, Monster Black Ice . . . I think maybe he stuck some Twizzlers in there, or something. Who knows?

Sam's take - Could we have a better contrast between Slurpee's here? My simple, elegant combination side-by-side with Jonathan's multi-flavor blur. By the end of the car ride home, his was a homogeneous black sludge wearing a yellow hat.
