Who invented and named the slush drink?

Answer 1

Omar Knedlik, who owned a hamburger restaurant in Kansas, had his soda fountain break and put the bottles of pop in the freezer so they wouldn't get warm. When he took them out they were almost frozen, but not quite. Omar Knedlik did not have enough time to thaw the pop and had to serve the drinks in slushie form. Everyone like the slushies and so Omar Knedlik decided to build a machine that replicated what the freezer did to the pop

Answer 2

Mr. Richard R. Slush invented the drink that bears his name after enjoying his Orange Juice from the freezer.

Omar Knedlik (1916-1989), was the inventor of the ICEE frozen drink. He was born and raised a poor farm boy in Barnes, Kansas in 1916. Knedlik was a World War II veteran who bought his first ice cream shop after the war. He owned several hotels and cars before moving to Coffeyville, Kansas, where he became the owner of a Dairy Queen in the late-1950s. Knedlik did not have a soda fountain, so he served semi-frozen bottled soft drinks. He found that they were an immensely popular, so he worked with a Dallascompany to develop the ICEE machine. It took him five years to replicate the consistency in slushy soft drinks. In the mid-1960s, the first ICEE machines were sold in the United States.

In 1965, 7-Eleven bought some of the machines, calling its version the Slurpee. Knedlik and his family received royalty checks for about 17 years until his patent expired. He moved his family from Coffeyville to the bigger nearby town of Joplin, Missouri in 1983, when Knedlik developed kidney problems and needed dialysis. He died at age 73 in 1989.
