Ever since he was young, Alf Buccieri was fascinated with snow and ice. Something about it captured his imagination. But growing up in Brisbane, Australia’s sub-tropical climate, he didn’t often get the chance to play or enjoy snow. So Alf decided that if the snow wasn’t coming to Brisbane, he’d find a way to bring it there himself.
In 1984, Alf invented Permasnow, which enabled year-round indoor skiing. It was first displayed at the Sydney Ski Show in 1986 and received world wide publicity when used in 1988 at the Switzerland Pavilion at the World Expo 1988.
Over 6 million people visited the ski slope that operated over an uninterrupted 6 month period. Alf’s company, Buccieri Snow Making, now provides snow for indoor ski facilities, events, zoos and other venues all over the world.
Alf had also created several snow-making toys for his children, and was looking for a way to let his kids make snow and ice. Over the years, he developed and perfected his Magic Freezer Cubes, the patented secret behind Blizzie. Now Alf can share his passion for ice and snow with children everywhere, and he is hard at work with the Blizzie team creating more fun and exciting snow and ice making products.
Blizzie Makes it Easy to Turn Any Drink into a Frozen Treat
Blizzie Freezer Products LLC has officially released Blizzie, the instant slushy maker. This new product is safe, quick and easy to use for all ages. All you have to do is drop the non-toxic Blizzie freezer cubes into the Blizzie cup, fill with your favorite drink, shake it up and in just minutes your drink will turn into a tasty slushie. The Blizzie comes with the 1 cup, 3 reusable freezer cubes (saltwater solution), and a straw that also serves as a spoon. Once you make your first Blizzie and are ready for another, all you have to do is rinse the cubes in warm water and place them back in the freezer. Once frozen, you are ready for your next round.
Blizzie works with juices, sodas, energy drinks and much more. One Blizzie fan even said that it works great with red wine, which proves its versatility for all ages.
Blizzie has been using local flea markets and mall kiosks to build a buzz amongst fans. You can currently catch Blizzie monthly at the Pasadena Flea Market and weekly at the Orange County Swap Meet. Blizzie Freezer Products plans to expand to more kiosks and increase online sales of the product in the upcoming months. You can purchase your Blizzie online at MyBlizzie.com and be sure to keep in touch on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

All you do is put the ice cubes that come with it in the freezer for a couple hours. Then put the cubes into the cup, add your favorite drink, and shake.

Blizzie is a lot of fun!!!
When I was first contacted to try it, I couldn't figure out how putting a beverage into a cup could turn it into a slushie.
I still am not 100% sure how it does its magic, but it works!!
We have tried all sorts of fun drinks from soda, to OJ to kool aid!!!!
It is soooo easy to use.
All you do is put the ice cubes that come with it in the freezer for a couple hours. Then put the cubes into the cup, add your favorite drink, and shake.
With in a couple minutes, your beverage turns into a slushie drink!!!
This is such a simple design but sooooo much fun!!!
If you have kids, this is perfect for them to use.
I am very excited to get to give one of you your very own Blizzie!!!
