Slushies at aid stations?

Apparently switching from water and sports drinks at aid stations to slushies would make some sense.

In a new study … male recreational athletes who drank a syrup-flavored ice slurry just before running on a treadmill in hot room could keep going for an average of 50 minutes before they had to stop. When they drank only syrup-flavored cold water, they could run for an average of 40 minutes.

Should still work without the syrup, right? For the calorie-conscious, I mean.
