Hi, All! I've seen several posts lately mentioning Crystal Light Slurpees and thought I'd tell you something I found out last summer. At the time, as a diabetic, I was thrilled to find this product at 7-11 and noticed the 800 number on the machine which one could call for more info. When I called and asked about the nutritional info., it included CARBOHYDRATES! I don't remember how much exactly, but enough that I couldn't consider it a "free" food and decided to skip it, since I'd rather eat my carbs than drink them, unless I'm getting some protein along with the carbs. So I just wanted you all to be aware that it's not the same as just freezing a regular Crystal Light. There's something they add to it to give it the proper texture that's adding carbs as well. I'm not telling you not to buy it...that's up to each of you. I just want you to be able to make an informed decision. Debby

Debby~ You're absolutely right. Crystal Light Slurpees have 50 calories and 11 grams of carbohydrate per 12-ounce serving. And this is from the 7-11 website. Guess I'll be making my own slurpees at home in my blender!! Kim
