Reply to comment by terrible02s in TIL that the Slurpee was invented by accident when a Dairy Queen owner would provide frozen soda, from a cooler, to customers when his soda fountain would break down. The owner, Omar Knedlik, improvised the Icee machine out of car parts, which was eventually licensed by 7-11, to become the Slurpee. by jdward01

my grandpa built an air compressor from an old ice machine and a propane tank. He also built a roto-tiller out of...car parts. Both items weigh roughly 325 pounds each.
