Their signature drink is called an Ice Blended. It is not terribly different in conception than a Frappuccino, actually. An Ice Blended consists of sweetened coffee syrup, vanilla or chocolate powder and ice, mixed together in a blender with more horse power than most Japanese cars on the market.

The women were all pilots, drawn from groups like the Ninety-Nines (the female pilots' organization founded by Amelia Earhart) and the W.A.S.P.s (Women's Air Force Service Pilots) as well as the women's air-racing circuit, the Powder Puff Derby.
