The other day, when I was at the gas station, I noticed that they had a couple of slushie machines churning away. Now, while slushie machines have been around for many years, what caught my attention was that they were named “Gourmet Ice”.

Gourmet Ice? That almost seems like a oxymoron. Over the years I have tolerated gourmet popcorn and gourmet jelly beans, but gourmet slushies just doesn’t seem right.

I suppose it is only a matter of time before they come out with gourmet bubble gum.
