It’s that time of the year again, and Altador Cup is in full swing! Despite the Void casting an air of gloom upon Neopia, the Cup is going as strong as ever. Brightvale and Meridell may be shrouded in grey, but their Yooyuball teams are doing smashingly, holding onto some of the top spots! Strolling through Altador, you see fans from all teams decked out in their team gear, adorned with multicoloured foam fingers and sweatbands proudly rooting for their favourite team. You can’t help but notice that many are also holding a variety of colourful slushies - some in exotic yellow, green, vibrant pink, and juicy blue. Oh, how they look simply delectable and thirst quenching in the summer Altador heat! Eager to taste the famous slushies for yourself, you head towards the slushie store adjacent to the Yooyuball stadium. Pushing through crowds of fans you finally make it there - only to find the most insanely long line ever! The customers are impatient and disgruntled. Steam is seeping from their ears, their fists raised in anger, demanding their slushies be served, NOW! The poor Tuskaninny waitress, Cheryl Shelly, is working at her limits yet the line just keeps growing. You estimate the wait for a slushie could potentially be hours long, yet you really want that slushie before the next Yooyuball game. So what should you do to satisfy that craving? You could head up to Terror Mountain to the Slushie Shop and buy one there, but you’d have to trek all the way up the mountain, and you’d probably still have to sit and wait for a slushie you want to restock. By the time you get there and back to Altador, you would’ve missed the game you were waiting for! And anyway, it wouldn’t quite be the same as one of those Altador Cup slushies. Then it hits you: what if you made your own slushie? It’s a no-brainer, really. You would completely avoid the lines (and steer clear from those angry customers), and wouldn’t have to worry about receiving the wrong slushie order (Cheryl Shelly’s trying her best, but mistakes can happen). You’d also be saving your hard-earned NP in the long run (it’s so much cheaper to make your own), and best of all, you can make so many slushies at home, whenever you want, even after the Altador Cup season ends! Lastly, Cheryl Shelly would be secretly grateful you’re taking your slushie desires elsewhere - and once you’ve learned to make slushies and need a summer job, she can use the help! So behold, here is a quick and easy guide to making your own slushies at home! PREPARATION Before diving straight into the recipes, it is important to have the prerequisite slushie-making equipment!
