Note
Use canned pineapple crushed in unsweetened juice for best results.
For a sweeter version, you can use regular lemon-lime soda instead of diet.
This slush is best served immediately after adding the soda to maintain the carbonation and texture.
If the mixture freezes too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to achieve the desired slushy consistency.
