In the late 1950s, a Dairy Queen owner's broken soda fountain accidentally led to the invention of the world's most famous frozen beverage. But are Slurpees just frozen soda, or is there a special science behind that perfect slushy consistency?

According to nutritional data from beverage providers like Circle K and 7-Eleven, frozen versions of Mountain Dew, such as a Slurpee or Freeze, do contain caffeine, though often in a smaller quantity per serving than the canned soda. The freezing process does not eliminate the caffeine, a stable compound, which remains active within the icy beverage.
