Abomination

There's a rumor going around that "craft" slushies will be the next big thing on the bar scene around DC. Just like the old 7/11 Slurpees. I can think of nothing more putrid.
One of the most nightmarish moments of my life occurred many years ago while visiting the little mall at Union Station. They had a bar there which apparently was trying this idea out, and had a bank of those see-through plastic barrels located on the wall behind the bar, (just like 7/11 had 'em behind the cashier). As you sat at the bar, trying to down your drink, these things would be filled with psychedelic-colored pseudo-fruit concoctions, all swirling away. It was vomitous.
I remember when Slurpees first came out, and have fond memories of racing up to 7/11 to try the latest flavor, (and get the promotional button. Remember "I Have Slurped"?). But those are the memories of grade school. And I have absolutely no desire to go to a bar to relive them. This is a horrible idea.
