In 1970,Cincinnatian Will Radcliff discovered a slush machine(冷飲機) when he was at a Chicago trade show. One evening,Radcliff asked for the help of his mother and sister to brainstorm some names for his would-be slushy drink. Over a six-pack of beer,they wrote down a Landfill of possibilities on a brown paper bag and came up with the idea for Slush Puppie,which would feature a cartoon dog as their logo (標識) . Shortly thereafter,Radcliff spent all the money he had and founded the company.
Though other iced drinks such as ICEE already existed,Slush Puppie was different because it was a non-carbonated drink created with flavored syrups (糖漿) and water that are mixed together in a machine and then frozen.
When Radcliff started what would become a multimillion-dollar enterprise,only four flavors were offered: cherry,grape,orange,and lemon-lime. Today,there are more than 40 flavors available,many of which contain fresh juices and vitamins. An eight-ounce Slush Puppie contains 119 calories,which would take a 31-minute walk to bum off. Yet,it has a very pleasant taste.
Radcliff’s flavored iced drink business took off and by 1999 sales had reached $25 million a year — that's a lot of slush!An astute businessman,he eventually pushed his idea into a global phenomenon; Slush Puppies have found their way into 62 nations,including parts of Africa and Europe,via 650,000 machines.
In 2000 Cadbury Schweppes bought Slush Puppie Corp., and in 2006 J&J Snack Foods — which also owns ICEE — purchased the company from Cadbury. By this point,Radcliff was ready to retire and had purchased more than 3,000 acres of Florida wetlands,where he built a large farm and became a fierce advocate for land conservation.
Unfortunately,Radcliff died on September 18 ,2014 in Cincinnati. Even though Radcliff' s no longer around,his Slush Puppie will live on.
