History of National Juice Slush Day
National Juice Slush Day was established in 2018 by Cool Tropics, a company known for its 100% juice slush pouches. The day was created to celebrate the refreshing beverage and to highlight healthier drink options for children.
Cool Tropics, along with its partner Welch’s, uses this day to promote their juice slush products, which are made with real fruit juice and contain no artificial colorants.
The concept of juice slush dates back centuries, with ancient civilizations mixing fruit juices with snow to create refreshing treats.
In the 1950s, the modern slushie was accidentally invented when a soda was left in the freezer, resulting in a slushy consistency. This led to the development of machines specifically designed to create slush beverages.
Today, National Juice Slush Day is celebrated annually on the third Wednesday in May. The day encourages people to enjoy juice slushes and to explore healthier beverage options.
Schools and communities often participate by serving juice slushes, promoting both fun and nutrition.
