4 Ways to Make a Slurpee Out of Anything! TKOR's Homemade DIY Slushies Tips!

in today's video we're taking a look at slurpees what happens when you freeze dry them and can we make our own [Music] slurpees slushies whatever you want to call them these are from 7-eleven so i think they are the actual slurpee brand if you're not familiar soda is taken and put in a machine and frozen while it's stirred and you end up with a light fluffy or a soda packet it's like a packet of soda flavoring yeah sugar i don't know if they i don't think they use the pre-made i think they use like the carbon dioxide water and the syrup the same way a soda machine does but the idea is the same is that it's frozen soda today we got four different flavors of it we got cherry blue pina colada and coke and we want to see what happens if we freeze dry these slurpees so here's the basic idea we're going to get four flavors of slurpees from a 7-eleven and we're going to see what happens if we freeze dry them all then we're going to try several different methods of making our own kinds of slurpees to see which one is the closest and the easiest we've got our freeze dry trays we're going to put it on there throw in the freeze dryer take a look at what happens while they are freeze drying we are going to try a few different methods of making our own sort of slurpees i like it a while ago grant showed you how to make some sort of slushy stuff by taking bottles of soda and putting it in the freezer i've gone ahead and thrown six bottles of coca-cola all the same size and temperature into the freezer but i staggered them 15 minutes apart so i have six bottles and when we take them out it should be timed so that we have from two and a half hours in the freezer to about three hours and 45 minutes in the freezer first thing we're gonna try is an ice cream maker these are pretty basic they have an aluminum container you fill a lot of the container with whatever you're trying to freeze and then it's got this nice paddle and then all of this around here you fill with ice and rock salt this ice cream salt specifically and as the salt dissolves the ice it gets hyper cooled and then it just keeps spinning around and all of that heat gets pulled out of the soda by all the cold and well hopefully it works with soda i know it works with cream that's how you make ice cream we're gonna try it with soda and see if we can get slushies normally you're supposed to put your container in the freezer until it's really cold but we're just gonna cheat i think they would recommend this if it were an option for everyone basically just gonna keep doing it until it's so cold that i can't really hold on to it anymore that's probably much colder than any freezer has ever gotten it ever this little thingy that makes the whole thing turn but first we need salt and we need ice yeah are we supposed to be layering the salt or anything yes so that's why i was about six cups to start okay these giant chunks you're really throwing off my groove all right so now we just let that go until it has frozen in there i like it all right we have a couple other things we can try uh we've tried them in the past some of them but i want to do them again i want to try making slushie with dry ice okay i'm gonna try making slushy with liquid nitrogen okay and then i want to sort of simulate the same bucket salt ice method but with the ziploc bags okay so it's a very homemade method yeah you take a small ziploc bag fill it with whatever you're trying to freeze put that inside a bigger ziploc bag that's full of ice and salt and just toss it around for about 10 minutes and it's supposed to work pretty well as well so i know we've done it with ice cream i don't remember if we've ever done it with soda to make like a slurpee can anybody do it i think we should try it i think i will try the liquid nitrogen using some dr pepper i'm going to take it a step farther it's not going to quite be a pure slurpee i want to try mixing some whipped cream in with it so we get like sort of a creamy slurpee sure the cream and the dr pepper are a little separated at the moment we'll see if that continues as it freezes and stirs i have never once in my life measured when making ice cream this way the ice cream part maybe but not the salt nice i feel like you're mad scientisting to my little house on the prairie this is it's not fair really hard to see what i'm doing honestly it just stays so full of vapor that i don't really know where i'm at look at this look at this very close to a slurpy consistency you have made a slushie it's pretty good this is complete my dr pepper whipped cream you're what slurpy slushy mushy mushy you're mushy this is yes it's called a mushy when you combine dr pepper and cream i decided and when you use liquid nitrogen to make it i wish we could have all of them finished at the same time to compare that's not going to happen this went way faster that one's going to take some amount of time i'm going to try a dry ice one i don't know how long the one in the canister is gonna take i'm gonna try that one though cause it sounds delicious [Music] a light creaminess it's a mush liquid nitrogen was a success now we're going to do dry ice i'm going to be using this strawberry and as a backup i have some cherry syrup that's meant for snow cones to make it a little bit stronger yeah in case the flavor isn't quite strong enough but i'm not putting any cream in this one so it might be fine it did start leaking quite a bit hopefully we only had soda go out and not salt water go in i can only hope now it is much more liquidy than yours but it does look like a semi-melted it does slushy and i do think they add a little bit more sugar when they make these just like a higher syrup concentration than regular soda now that took three times the amount of time it took him to make one with liquid nitrogen no one's surprised it's really easy to get your hands on ice in most places it's really hard to get your hands on liquid nitrogen in some places so if you want to try it takes about that took me about 10 minutes to just slush it around in a couple of bags uh with some salt and some ice yes you can absolutely make a slushie out of a soda that's really good i just want to show that i'm done with the dry ice one powdering the dry ice seems to make a very big difference yeah that went super fast that's pretty good uh flavor is decent it's not strong but it's decent i'm just gonna throw in a little bit of this cherry syrup concentrate so we're gonna have strawberry cherry i'm gonna add some to the squirt too i've also added some dry ice now that we know the consistency that that made i'm just gonna mix it up a little [Music] very good [Music] okay that looks pretty much just like a slurpee it looks perfect that's good root beer that is yeah that is really really yup texture is almost perfect which makes sense because the way that slurpees are made is a cooling chamber with rotating paddles in it so it's being made almost the same method it's lost a lot of carbonation but again we don't know all of the ingredients that are being put in it to make these slushies so but this is about as close as you can get i do think again that they are using a slightly higher concentration of the the soda flavoring more syrup or more sugar more both this works really well this is like the 30 version of an ice cream maker and of course you can make ice cream in it so that's another bonus yep our slurpees have finished freeze-drying they are interesting so we've made freeze-dried soda in the past and as we've just been discussing slurpees appear to be soda with maybe a little extra syrup in them i think the blue has an artificial sugar in it and not corn syrup okay and so i think we're getting a different texture as a result it didn't turn into the hard goo it actually is still a little bit runny yeah slow like it's a syrup but the rest of them have solidified beyond the point of syrup okay so looking at the results of this is interesting because three of them appear to have already frozen despite still being pressured and not being in the the order of times yeah you know smallest to largest this this is in there the longest it is not at this point frozen so let's just start with the least amount of time in there all right carefully open pour see if it does the thing so 10 45 this has been in for two and a half hours oh and we are getting some slush apparently our freezer is quite cold at the moment originally when grant showed making these he said three hours and 15 minutes for his freezer i guess this freezer is different it's also not freezing the way this one did yeah with more time in there but when i give it a shake it's still not freezing oh a little bit shaking with less pressure in it it did start to freeze somewhat this is so i think what we're learning is there's some inconsistency that can happen [Music] frankly i'm just going to assume that the freezer we are using does not perfectly evenly cool everything i i feel like this side was closer to the cold air than this side was because we had nothing like a linear progression in how well things worked and i thought everything was even pressure even volume because they were all unopened they were all refrigerated but not frozen before they went in and i was very careful i just added one every 15 minutes i thought we would get like no slush to slush or no slush to slush in the middle and then too cold like it was frozen or something you know if you're doing this in your freezer i would say you definitely have to figure out your freezer where you're putting the bottle and how long you're putting the bottle in slurpees you can definitely make some at home homemade ice cream maker works wonderfully if you have access to dry ice that works very well if you break the dry ice up just be very aware you do not want to eat it with the dry ice in it if it's in your mouth you could freezer burn or even frost bite bits of your mouth it'll freeze bits of flesh it will hurt if you were to swallow it it could be like hospitalization level of damage so if you're using the dry ice just make sure that it's completely all stopped there's no bubbling no hissing probably every spoonful even you'd want to just double check like anything in there no i'm good all right good if you have liquid nitrogen that works great it's less common to have like a nitrogen if you don't have any of these things and all you've got are some plastic bags and some ice and some salt you're still good to go it works yep i've done it with ice cream before too it's pretty good stuff [Music] guys that's it for today but we've always got cool stuff coming out hit the button right there to subscribe to the channel so you don't
