Blue Raspberry Soda Slushies

Checkers and Rally’s Have Launched the Big Surf Slushie for Summer

— April 28, 2020 — Lifestyle
Summer is just around the corner, and Checkers and Rally’s want to help consumers start celebrating with its new Big Surf Slushie.

As the name suggests, the Big Surf Slushie is a cool blue drink inspired by surfing. The drink itself consists of a Blue Raspberry Fanta slush mixture, swirled with a sweet vanilla shake. This means you get the icy texture of a slushie, but with the creaminess of a milkshake. The whole thing is then topped with a tiny gummy shark to make it look like an ocean in a cup.

Available in regular and large sizes, the new Big Surf Slushie is available from participating Checkers and Rally’s locations across the US for a limited time.
