"I found Brewer’s Outlet in Delaware County offering frozen-drink machines on the counter that churn colorful slushies beside snake-oil hangover remedies, suspect CBD items, and virility pills. The setup is not self-serve: clerks fill plastic cups that denote size and pricing, seal them airtight with a custom machine, and hand them out with a straw while handwritten signs advise that drinks cannot be consumed on-site. The frozen concoctions are simply malt beverages turned to slush — from Bud Light Passion‑Fruit‑Rita and Smirnoff Peach Mango Smash to fruity Four Loko variants and Seagram’s Jamaican Me Happy — and their ABV matches the original packaged drinks, spanning about 3.2% to 14%." - Caroline Coral
