No and yes. The buoys are based on a useful property of the water: the sugar (and the salt) dissolved in the water drops its freezing point below 32 degrees fahrenheit. For what? Solubles and sugar are chaos agents. Sugar molecules move at random, refuse to dissolve in the ice and interfere with the capacity of water to form hydrogen bonds and to turn crystalline. Some water molecules freeze, but sugar water does not. Tada! Slush.
If you try to make melting snow from soda without sugar or everything that is sugar -free, ice crystals will form in the place easily. The stainless steel freezing core will ice cream and scratch on the auger, and ice cubes or guys will bring the mass together in the mud machine. The cylinder will start to tremble, then the machine will plug, then finally break you will break your machine: the low sugar content on these devices have not been too reliable, alas. So don’t do that!
This does not mean that you are sentenced to massive calories if you want to make melting snow. All artificial sweeteners do not decrease the freezing point appropriately, but that that Ninja recommends for diet shocks is lit, a rare but natural sugar that is 70 percent as sweet as basic sugar but is not effectively metabolized by the human digestive system. This means that it is low in calories and does not cause insulin spikes, but as for many indigestibles, note that side effects may include bloating or gastrointestinal distress for some.
For a simplest use in a loop, buy liquid lighter. Powder versions also exist, but to use them, you will have to make a simple syrup by heating the powder in the water to help it dissolve, then let it cool. If you just try to place the allulose powder in your machine with a diet coke, it may not dissolve and you could still get ice formation. Or at least, I really had the ice formation when I tried this on the ninja and I had to stop my machine.
