[vincent-h]

Thanks

Vincent

good thing other people chimed up, i was thinking it was petro, but it was infact the husky in shawnassy that i was thinking of

[masoncgy]

The Mac's on 42 Ave SE (just east of Blackfoot Tr) was offering these bad boys, not sure if they still do, but somewhere to check if you're in the area.

[silver03gt]

The Huskey in Midnapor and Woodbine has them. So I'm guessing that all the huskeys have them...

[freshprince1]

Husky in Sundance has them. They're called 'Screamers" locally.

[CapnCrunch]

Why in god's name does this exist?

[Weapon_R]

Are you from Sask? I was there 2 weeks ago and it seemed like every second gas station had this.

[vincent-h]

It is interesting to note that it is carried by different vendors in differnet city's with a different name.

either way keep posting these location it is awesoem to know where to get it through out the city!

Also the reason they have is because it is fantastically good for example:

rootbeer slurpee+soft ice cream gives you the flavor of the best damn rootbeer float ever.

orange crush slurpee+soft ice cream = creamsicle flavor

Best part about it is that the slrupee and soft icecream mix in a way that gives it the best damn texture and to elaborate from above it is BADASS :guns:

[slinkie]

sounds legit....

[beyond_ban]

Sounds unreal. So Husky is the place to get one? Looks like i have another stop on the way home...

To clarify, the machine mixes the ice cream and slurpee together itself? Or do you add both ingredients separately and then mix it yourself?

[Quizzes]

I believe the Canadian Tire gas station on 14th st NW (MacEwan) has them. It's also called Screamers.

They have two machines, one a typical slurpee machine and the other, a typical soft-serve ice cream machine. Mix them together and it becomes a one-of-a-kind treat. LOL

No. There will be a regular slurpee machine, and a soft serve Ice Cream machine beside it. I like to layer mine. So start off with a little Orange slurpee, and then a couple inches of Ice cream...etc etc until full.

Delicious is an understatement. No I'm craving one. Thanks a lot.

[vincent-h]

Yes, it is two machines.

One is the soft serve ice cream machine. depending ont eh location the attendant will ill the ice cream for you, or some areas will let you fill it yourself.

The other is the slurpee machine, and I am sure you know how that works.

A good mixture is something like

1/3 soft icecream
2/3 slurpee

or find your own favourite!

Another plus of this treat is that since it is mixed with the slurpee the softserve icecream actually takes awhile to melt!


cheers!

[beyond_ban]

Does anyone know of a confirmed place to purchase one in the NW?

the 42nd and blackfoot mac's has the soft serve behind the counter.... so you put in the amount of froster you want and they fill up the rest with icecream...

[darkkent]

in the North there is a drugstore, I think its an IDA store that has them

its right off the 64th av and centre st intersection in the huntington hills / thorncliffe area. right down the street from timmy's

they've had them there for decades and they are called "screamers" as someone else pointed out.

[tenth]

The zoo has them as well. Was unaware they existed outside the zoo, so this is awesome.

[sexualbanana]

Rick's in Lynnwood has been rocking them for years

[frozenrice]

The zoo has them.
Dairy Queen has their Misty Freezes, but the slurpee part is some kind of syrup/ice drink- not a real slurpee. Still good, but not the same as a screamer.

[Speed_69]

Anywhere in the NE or downtown?

[theken]

ricks are good, the ct in okotoks has the best ones, large 1/4 slurpee 3/4 ice cream

[vps]

the IDA near 64th ave and centre street has them.

[psycoticclown]

Goddamn, I want one now. Any close to Edgemont in the NW?

[Numi]

husky on 17th ave near 52nd street in n.e

Esso at 68th street and 22 ave (priciest place ive been too but thick ice cream) N.E. location

macs 52nd st and 68st/smed lane in foothills industrial.

[Hello123]

The husky in sandstone down the street from esso for the NW

[Prelude_dude]

the little ice cream shop in oclair outside by the water park has em, perfect when rollerblading river side and stop for a screamer, love it.. now we just gotta wait for the nice weather...

Yea this is an awesome thread, im from sasktchewan and you can find it at most macs there. Thanks for all the locations, we need more locations !!

[thepyrofish]

For anyone in Lethbridge, both Green's Pop Shops have 'em and so does Frank's confectionary on Forestry South.

I love snow-bobs :love:

[Disoblige]

:drool: I want one..

Keep the locations coming!

[vincent-h]

Also for Lethbridge the Mac's on columbia has it.

[frozenrice]

The mac's on Columbia has it?! How many times have I gotten slurpees from there and didn't know that :banghead:

[StreetRacerX]

This thing sounds badass, I'll have to try it! Are there any particular slurpee flavors that go well with the soft ice cream?

as posted before

root beer + soft icecream = rootbeer float flavor
orange + soft icecream = creamsicle

those are the only two i actually drink, so if anyone esle has any cool/good flavors let us know!

[takkyu]

Hit up Rick's for the first time in 8-10 years. Had a small orange crush ice cream slurpee, and enjoyed every second of it. Was made by Rick himself too.

[Novus]

Confirmed Husky in Scenic Acres as well

[adam c]
