Im not defending aspartame, as I hate diet drinks. But I have yet to see any legitimate study show that aspartame causes cancer.

Yes, this seems to be the case but the pro-aspartame sites (industry sites with vested interests) don't seem reliable either. Is there any neutral view points? I'll see what I can find (quackwatch maybe).

I did quote a study that found cancer in rats.

Question

An email message is being circulated with many statements to the effect that aspartame is dangerous. How worried should I be?.
Answer

Not at all. The message is pure rubbish. The following Web sources have reliable information:

• About.com has posted an excellent rebuttal to the e-mail message, which it considers an "urban legend."
• A Multiple Sclerosis Foundation medical advisor has labeled the message "rapidly misleading and scandalous."
• FDA Consumer has published an article reaffirming the safety of sugar substitutes.
• The Aspartame Information Service, sponsored by Ajinomoto, a leading maker of aspartame, has science-based reports.

Yeah, it was called organge cream here as well, but it definetely tasted exactly like a creamsicle. Too bad I haven't found it since.

If you like orange and cream…and god knows I do, if you are ever in the pincher creek area stop in the gas station in Lumbrick they have the most genius idea I have ever come across in my life, you can fill you surplee cup with surplee and soft serve ice cream! God lord its good you get Ice cream and orange its heaven on earth

The funny thing about this whole aspartame-MS-cancer thing is that, even if there WERE a statistically significant cancer risk, it would pale in comparison to the risk of diabetes that consuming large quantities of regular sugar-sweetened soft drinks (and slurpees) poses.

HA! That’s a very solid point

What the hell ever happened to Strawberry Slurpees? That used to be my favorite flavour as a kid and now you can't find them anywhere.

Last place I saw them was the 7-11 in Lethbridge about 8 years ago. Haven't seen or had one since. That was such a good flavour I don't understand why they got rid of it.

I don't know if it's only California or nation-wide, but the slurpees here suck big time compared to the ones in Canada. They are light and fluffy and have no substance, a slurpee is one of the very first things I buy whenever I go home.

Both the Sandstone Esso and MacEwan CT Gas Bar have Strawberry right now. You can also add ice cream at the MacEwan one too. Very tasty with lime too.

My brain is telling me they were just from reading this thread, but im not to sure.

Thanks for the tip! I'm going to give them a call to see if they have them.

I am horribly addicted to slurpees. Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall... I drink Slurpees. I have cut back A LOT (3 a week) from the one per day I was drinking. I've lost a bit of weight as well, LOL.

Yeah American Slurpees suck. One reason I was happy to move back to Canada, . Only 7-11 has alright ones in the USA. All the other ones are exactly like you said and usually only a couple falvours. What are they called Slush Puppy's? Those ones suck. I think Calgary is the king of Slurpees, almost every store that sells them has 8-12 flavours, sometimes more.

I have gotten it in Abbotsford, Burnaby and the Shell on Hastings street in Vancouver.

There's a Canadian Tire gas station in Kelowna that sells those too, and you're right they are freakin' awesome! I don't know why more stores don't do that.

All this talk about slurpee's sure makes me miss Canada though. The only place you can get them in China is at 7-11 and they aren't even close to the same as back home. They are really foamy and airy, and as soon as you walk outside it's half gone because all the air escapes in the heat and humidity, LOL. Oh well, I couldn't believe they even had 7-11's when I first got here let alone slurpee's, so I shouldn't complain I guess.

Yeah, I'm working at the cdn tire gas bar in okotoks(busiest cdn tire gas in western canada apparently..) over the summer and we've got screamers as well (slush + ice cream) Damn those are good (and addicting at that)

Orange and strawberry are the two best flavours
Gotta love getting free screamers

[1Nite]

First 2/3 Coke then Cream Soda, and a touch more of Coke on the top.

[Deelow]

I talked to the bottling company the supplies the product for pretty puch the entire city I live in and they said that they offer the diet product but there is 0 demand for it.
