I saw a “crystal lite” slushie machine in a gas station as sugar free but it was the same cold and structural consistency as all the normal sugar-based slushes there. I thought this was chemically impossible.
What additive can achieve this?

I don’t know about slushies specifically, but I use the Ninja cremi to make diabetic friendly ice creams. Many sugar free and low fat ice creams use xantham gum as a stabilizer. You can look in r/creami and most recipes are geared towards people in the fitness/weight loss demographic.
I guess it’s different depending on who makes it. Slush Puppie the brand use Xanthan and/or Locust Bean Gum as thickening agents.
Ice-based slushie? You can make an ice-based slushie with pretty much any liquid, with or without sugar. If it’s dairy-based or cream-based that might be different, but when I was a kid I used to make apple cider vinegar slushies. No sugar, just ice ran through a blender on the right setting and the. Apple cider vinegar.
I don’t recommend you do that, but you should try making your own slushies anyway. Just to see.
