Just ran into my wife's cousin's son and his wife at a wedding in Jerusalem. They are from the U.S. and asked about the Freezee. (They had heard about the write up in the Jerusalem Post.) When I told them we are bringing it to Jerusalem within 2 weeks they got excited. The one thing they missed coming to live in Israel was their Slurpee at 7eleven and now with the Freezee in Israel...
Can't wait to see the machine working in the Central Bus Station in Jerusalem!

History of Freezee (50 years old)
When was Freezee invented? Omar Knedlik, in Coffeyville, Kansas is credited with inventing the idea of the Freezee some 50 years ago. He started by placing bottles of soda in his freezer. People really liked them almost frozen so he spent a few years until he developed the first Frozen Sparkling Beverage machine. The original name developed for the drink was ICEE and it is known by other more famous names such as Slurpee a trademark of 7eleven.
Many people have tried to bring the machine that makes Freezees to Israel. Rafi Offenbacher was the force behind Brisk Beverage's decision to bring these machines to our corner of the world (or the center of the world!). Brisk will not only be the first but will be the choice to go to with the expertise to supply and service the Freezee machines.

Blog got deleted
I wrote and edited a nice little blog right here and lost it when the internet connection went out. I reported how well we did with our lawyer (Tom Greiff - I highly recommend him) and accountant. They and Amnon, our advisor through Mati, have really helped us get everything moving in the right direction.
However, the post is gone like a melted snowman. (A Freezee doesn't melt because you can't stop slurping it until it's completely consumed down to the last drop that you scoop out with the long "spoon straw".) [ed. note - the blog was just found somewhere in electronville and I reposted it]
Have a great weekend!
