thanks for all the hotlinks, grew up 30 miles from Middlesboro and never heard of the stuff til I stumbled upon an ad on Tumblr.

Icey-Ike seems to be Eastern Kentucky's answer to the Slush-Puppy, Icee, Slurpee etc. The Icey-Ike Sales Corporation was started in 1969 and by 1970 had 10 locations in and around Middlesboro, KY. By 1973 folks were selling their Icey-Ike machines at "sacrifice" prices, which leads me to believe Icey-Ike didn't last very long and were pushed out by the more familiar competitors.

Doing a Google search, I came across this. I have no idea if it is related, though the second picture shows the name on the machine.

A vintage soda pop. Ran across an ad for it and am intrigued. Who's had it? Any information appreciated, hot links to company history etc.

BTW great logo with a happy hillbilly sprawled out in a snow field drinking a cup of the stuff.
