cruzin76 Posted December 27, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I work at a High school that has students filling ice machines with all flavors of frozen ices. We pay a dollar for a Pina Colada. mango or the flavor the students want. It takes less then 15 seconds to pay and get this drink. Why are they still using blenders when there are cheaper and more efficient processes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzin76 Posted December 27, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Why would McDonald's use the old fashion potato peeler when there is a faster process for peeling potatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzin76 Posted December 27, 2019 Author #11 Share Posted December 27, 2019 If all the convenience stores can do it and make a profit on a $1,50 slushy why cant Royal add a shot of rum and get us a drink in a decent time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you’re saying they should make the frozen drinks even worse? I had actually thought the Island Oasis frozen mixes were the bottom of the barrel, but your idea has brought us to a new low. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luisc25 Posted December 27, 2019 #18 Share Posted December 27, 2019 And the answer is? I believe a couple things: Each frozen drink machine cost about 2k to 4k and you are limited to one specific flavor, with the blender you can make unlimited flavors for way less; The Island Oasis machine cost about the same but you are not limited to one flavor each-time. Also cleaning those machines are a pain, they tend to build mold on them. Royal probably don't pay for the machine is given to them if the buy the Kerry products. I wonder if the student at your school clean the machine correctly? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey & Sophie Posted December 27, 2019 #21 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Ok...The biggest issue here is WHY IS A HIGH SCHOOL MAKING PINA COLADAS? 9 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRF Posted December 27, 2019 #22 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Also, with blender, you can customize as they are made. There are shops in Vegas with 10 - 15 frozen drink machines. They add a shot to them, if you want, but then how to you properly mix in the shot???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
