The frozen magic looks alot like a flesh-light. I know Im not the only one here thinking that.

into the cheesecake, with slightly juice agitation... ah yes, modern poetry.

Chocolate probably wasn't the best choice for that first Slushy Cup visually, lmao.

The frozen magic has the following advantages for speed: * Thinner walls (less insulation between frozen gel and drink) * Irregular shape (can help with forming ice) * Higher surface area (a lot more liquid in contact with the cold stuff at once)

I love how even if the product seems really crappy you still give it a thorough review.

I can totally see some "creative" soul use the Frozen Magic for something else 😂

“Really isn’t that warm” and it’s almost 100 degrees outside

Owen Wilson "wow" at 4:31 You're welcome internet.

I think the green one might be faster because of the folds. They increase the surface area which transfers the cold faster into the liquid, thus freezing it faster. It could probably be improved if the folds could be flattened after the preparation.

I absolutely love the fact that I will waste hours upon hours watching reviews on products I’ve never wanted or knew existed.

While watching this I threw ice in a blender, made 3 smoothies, and finished one

I've owned a few versions of these and they all worked great if you followed directions. The liquid should be chilled and should also be sufficiently sweetened to crystallize properly. The Zoku is kind of a really expensive version of the Slush Mug which I've had and the Frozen Magic is a slightly different way to get more surface area to the liquid and is a very nice way of doing it compared to the Slushy Magic I had before which was little cubes that you'd freeze and use to make slush. Over the years basically you learn to not use milk and to avoid things that may be 'low sugar' or 'sugar free'. Typically I will get super good results with fridge chilled juices or sodas or even normally sweetened sports drinks. As long as the liquid is rather cold, it will not take super long to make the slush, but if it's room temp it will take FOREVER and a lot of the chill will be taken off the cup trying to bring the temp. of the liquid down. One thing I've done if I want a slush and only had drinks that were sitting at room temp is chill it quickly with some ice to ensure quicker slushing.

4:18 what the toilet sees before impact

The Frozen magic has more surface area, that makes it freeze faster.

"Really isn't that warm." 99 degrees. That's desert life I guess. That's a furnace here in Minnesota.

The outer sleeve does more than keeping your hands from getting cold. It traps air, insulating it. That why it took so long, when you remembered and put it on it started working.

Lol the chocolate milk in there looks disgusting.

"That is a complete sentence"

I remember one time I visited a resturant in the south. I asked for a coke to drink, and the waitress asked "what kind of coke?" That was the first time I heard of soda in general being refered to just as coke.

Most of these slushy gadgets work just fine with sodas, so high fructose corn syrup apparently counts as natural. I can confirm that frozen ginger-ale is amazing. The one I use is basically a hollow mug with what is likely an alcohol/water mix inside it. It has the same problem you had, and it has to do with the surface area of the freezing surface, so I add an ice-cube or 2. I stick it in the freezer over night, and the next day I wrap it in a modified koozy, and fill it with refrigerated drinks. If I use ice, I can get about 2 cans worth of slushy, but only about 1.5 without. Without the koozy, it only freezes about 90% of one can's worth of soda.

I think you’re the best reviewer on youtube at least my favourite as you’re thorough but fair, with your real world tests and also the annual updates to my knowledge you’re the only one who is as dedicated to that so really enjoy these videos and thanks for continuing with them under the recent difficult situation.

Weirdly enough, I actually kinda enjoyed the fact that both products have distinct pros and cons and fill different portions of the market. Was definitely expecting the frozen magic to be bunk. Loved the vid 🤘

The blue one requires just sitting. The green one requires constant agitation with will inherently go faster. It's how most slushy machines work by turning for constant agitation

I had the blue one a long time ago and the drink doesn’t even have to be sweetened, just plain milk or sth works.

It was supposed to be a chilled liquid put into the cups

I'm laughing so hard....don't have patience for this.

This proves that Embracing Creativity, is the best way to make your slushy’s

The frozen magic works faster because with the interior shape of the cup allows more cold surface area to come in contact with the liquid accompanied by the fact you are constantly breaking the ice particles loose and pushing it back into the liquid and catalyzing the rest of the beverage dropping the temp. more quickly than just waiting for the ice to form and scrape it off.

Dang, I’ve been watching you for 3 years and I still look forward to watching these review videos hahaha.

I had one back in the '70s called a Slush Mug.

I've had that zoku slush maker for a couple of years. It does work pretty well, but it does take about 5 to 7 minutes to get a fully slushed drink. But the nice thing is that it's so cold, you can pour a second drink into it after you finish the first and make another slushy. The cup does need to freeze for a full 24 hours before you make slushies though. That might be why it didn't work on the second day for you. I also don't think doing it outside in 99 degree heat was a good idea.

“Teaching your kids the valuable life lesson of patience” lol

Does anyone else remember the as seen on tv version of this that released years ago, cant remember what they were called, I think it was slushy magic or something

Is no one else appalled by how expense they are? I would pay $15 at most for one of those and definitely not 30

The Zoku cup works great if you use the edge of the spoon/scraper to scrap down the sides of the cup then stir slightly every minute or so. I use mine for Tito's and lemonade slushies on hot days

We used to use freezer cups for ice cream floats when I was a kid. It would turn the root beer into slush... so good! These just look like fancy freezer cups. The reason the one is so much faster is surface area. Those ridges going in gave the frozen surface a much larger surface area. Probably about 2x as much. More contact with the frozen surface = faster freezing time.

I would guess the folds in the FrozenMagic increase the surface area quite a bit so the liquid is able to cool faster and more ice can form on the walls. Love your vids. Keep up the good work!

Frozen magic has more surface area on the inside, I think, so its faster because of that?

Johny sins pours his juice in a fleshlight

The frozen magical is better for 2 reasons, for having more surface of contact and when you squish it you're always removing the ice of the walls, which prevents the ice from being an insulator between the walls and the liquid, creating ice a lot faster.

Me living in Canada: OMG it is so hot, 30 degrees Celsius Him in Las Vegas: 37 degrees Celsius is quite cold

These videos always help with my anxiety. They're so calm and laid back and your voice is soothing. I always get calmed down when I watch them. Was just having an anxiety attack and saw this on my KZfaq page. Now I'm way calmer and feel far better. Thank you for being so informative, fun, and being almost therapeutic...

Boys, you walk into the house and the frozen magic is there alone looking at you, whatchu doing👀

I had one of those as a kid. I loved it! It took awhile back then... I am talking like 50 years ago! It was smaller, not the squeeze one but the other. Thank you brought back some memories of my childhood! Great video!

With the pleats, the frozen magic has more surface area to transfer the cold to the liquid.

My neices n nephews loved the slushie magic! They use them every summer and they do last a while 3years for them so far

I had those when I was a kid. I loved them. :) The ones I had were like much older version of the Slush and Shake Maker. Had a cup that went in the freezer, and a plastic outside with a handle (we had one red and one yellow). And yeah, I kept trying diet drinks in it and they absolutely will not work. Good memories. :)

I’ve had my Zuko for several years, and still love it! It’s in great shape, and continues to make good slushies.

Are your hands always hot and out of shape, we'll have I got the product for you 🤣🤣

Freaken Reviews: "Yeah, it's not that warm" *Shows 99F on the weather report. Me: Sweating buckets at 80F in VA. Edit: punctuation.

I have one of these cups, I haven't used it for years. I need to find it for summer use. It worked pretty well in years past, I think I got it at Walmart like 20 years ago. Mine came with a hard plastic scraper spoon and was a hard sided cup.

Growing up, it was all called Coke. When I started working in restaurants I quickly learned to call it soda. Also, I miss my slush mug from the 80's pretty much a less stylized version of the zoku, but with a handle

I would absolutely love to see a Tupperware comparison Glass, plastic, metal, silicone... And what about biodegrable food bags and such? Or even eco friendly food items like clingfilm alternatives?

I'm in Chicago we definitely call it pop

I have a frozen magic and I love it! It always gets the job done quick and clean-up is super easy! Maybe sometime soon I'll actually make a slushy with it.

That green cup had me 🤣🤣🤣 @ 1:24. It reminded of a product I seen about 9 yrs ago on a Japanese website that sold adult novelties, food, video gaming stuff and Anime products. Thanks for making your videos. I've bought some cookware you've reviewed. 👍

Loving the graphics James. Very profesh

I have the Original Slush Mug, which has apparently been discontinued. It works more like the Slush and Shake, where you have to stir it to make it work, and it takes a while as well. I think I would rather wait than have it be hard to clean.

I'm actually impressed you didnt make any poop jokes, I wouldnt have been able to resist

The Frozen Magic looks like you'd be chilling something else in it

It would be faster for me to walk to my local 7-Eleven, buy a Slurpee, and walk home. In fact, it would be faster to do that four times!

I had something like this when I was a child back in the late 70s early 80s

I love your effort. You waited at least 3 days to make a video about slushy makers. Keep up the great work!

I don’t know about these cups but I had similar ones growing up -I’m 57- so about 50 years ago. You put in freezer then poured in drink. They worked great. Wish I still had one of those.

You know James I haven't even watched this vid yet but I'm excited to later. Never a bad vid! Keep up the good work bro!

“Lets see how warm it is” *99°* “It’s really not that warm” 😐

He is acting like 37° Celsius isn’t warm damn here in Canada it’s getting that warm and they tell you not to go outside 😂😂😂

99 degrees "Its not even that warm" 90 in illinois, and im suffering. Lol

Him:99° oh it's not that warm (California) Me: 78° it's too hot I'm dying(Tennessee)

"INTO THE CHEESECAKE!"

The blue Zoku cup I have and LOVE it! It makes a really good wine slushy. MMMM

I have some kind of version of the frozen magic. I used coke zero and it worked. Perhaps the consistency is different than with sugar beverages, but I got a cold slushy treat. As a diabetic, I was very pleased.

I’ve had one of these rip, and didn’t know. My slushy tasted salty, that’s how you know the inside is ripped.

That was a fleshlight there dude

These devices seem so redundant I think The Club in my car is starting to laugh

Well it's like others have said, the frozen magic has a bigger surface area with those folds on the inside, and ontop of that the squeezing moves the liquid inside around. So ontop of the larger surface area, there's also more of the liquid contacting the frozen part at a time, making it much faster to freeze

I feel like just putting your drink in the freezer for the same amount of time would work just as well.

Doctor's have patience, I'm not a doctor.😂

You pretty much hit the nail on the head with your closing comments. The Frozen Magic works quicker but it's also cheaply made. They've been known to fall apart at the top rim or even tear and leak coolant into your drink. The Zoku is much better long-term.

The squishable one works great, and it works best with carbonated drinks, and the best thing is if the soda is cold enough, you can keep adding more and it'll instantly turn to slushy. So you can get way more slushy then the initial 10 oz. amount. I love mine.

In Australia it is called Soft Drink and Coke company makes frozen Coke and you can buy them from McDonald's for $1

Was the Coke chilled before you poured? You mentioned at the beginning the liquid should be chilled. Now I want a slushy. ❤️

I feel like your videos keep getting better and better regardless of the product. Thank you for this.

This is a rework of a device they had in the 90’s. You froze an aluminum insert filled with a liquid. Put in out shell and came with a paddle. They then made a bigger version to make a couple pints at a time. Took up a lot of space in the freezer.

I don't think using soy chocolate milk was a good idea

I have a feeling both are headed for the as seen on tv graveyard.

Ours were called Slush Mugs back in the early 70's. We froze the empty mugs upside down, poured in whatever, screwed the lid on then shook it for about a minute, then done!

Been addicted to this channel for a year or so, you have to bump up the frequency of these, if you're doing weekly videos, I would like one on Monday and one on Friday where one of the videos is you comparing budget items to expensive items like your ice tray review

Great video as usual! I was hoping you'd go against the rules and use a stevia or other sweetener based drink to really see if they work or don't work. We don't drink sugary drinks at all so that would be useful. Thanks again!

4:55 "Slush and Shake" 😅

1:25 forbidden flesh light

Maybe the blue one was slower with the soda because of the carbonation. The bubbles of the soda float up the sides of the cup, which could disturb the ice forming process!

Nobody cares if you're first

When I was a kid everything was coke. I just always thought it was a southern thing

This looked like 'Two Slushies, One Cup'.

The frozen magic looks like a certain adult toy…

I'm from NY. We call it soda. Edited to add I live in SC now and they call it soda here too.

“Usually use a spoon” I’ve literally never used a spoon for a slushee. You use straws.

That chocolate milk took on the appearance of the La Brea Tar Pits while you were squeezing that cup.🤣
