Reply to comment by detox02 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
They got royalties from 7-Eleven for the machine, but I believe he founded the Icee company, so they were getting paid, until they sold the company.

Leverage since they’re in micro gravity? If I throw a wrench on earth it’s easy to plant my foot and use that as leverage to throw something. Now try the same movement on the moon.
