Squishees

Squishees are a fictional brand of frozen, flavored drinks featured in the animated television series The Simpsons. They are typically depicted as brightly colored, slushy beverages served in conical plastic cups with domed lids and straws. The drinks are a popular treat among the children of Springfield, particularly Bart and Lisa Simpson, and are frequently seen in various episodes.

The concept of Squishees is a parody of real-world convenience store frozen beverage machines, such as those found at 7-Eleven (Slurpees) or other gas stations. The name itself is a portmanteau of "squeeze" and "icee," hinting at the texture and method of consumption. Squishees are often associated with the Kwik-E-Mart, the convenience store owned and operated by Apu Nahasapeemapetilon.

While Squishees are a consistent element in the show's universe, their specific flavors and effects vary depending on the comedic needs of a particular episode. They are sometimes shown to have unusual or exaggerated ingredients, contributing to the surreal humor of The Simpsons. The brand has become iconic within the show's lore, representing childhood indulgence and the everyday absurdity of Springfield life. Merchandise and references to Squishees have also appeared outside the show, solidifying their status as a memorable fictional product.
