OT: Bring your own cup slurpee day
Today is national bring your own cup slurpee day. My kids loved it. We brought three giant cafe bustelo containers.
Get yours.
(that isn't me, but I admire her moxie.)
(I do not work at 7-11 or own any stock. I'm just a fan of bringing my own container. If only bars did this promotion.)

In Russia, Slurpee drinks you!

Is 7-11 really selling eclipse glasses?
August 19th, 2017 at 1:27 PM ^
I thought if your cup doesn't pass through their cardboard cutout, you can't use it,
Last year I stopped in a 7-11 to take a leak before a long drive and I was really confused as people were walking in with empty blenders.

It has to fit through a 10" circle upright, but 7-11 store employees are not known for their strict adherence to rules.

'how mac got fat'!

Chicago stores not participating due to the new Cook County 1 cent an ounce sugary beverage tax.
Sonsabitches!
(Would somebody PLEASE think of the children?!)
August 19th, 2017 at 2:35 PM ^
That is all.
August 19th, 2017 at 2:59 PM ^
Glad I'm in DuPage County! Although, I won't be buying a slurpy any way. (will let my kids know.)
August 19th, 2017 at 3:11 PM ^
We don't have a 7-11 in walking distance so we'll drive to one to get our empty calories.
Obesity, fuck yeah!

Ahhhhh, finally, America catering to those of us who are both cheap/broke AND want the diabeetus!!!

But not desiring to ride around in a cart in Wal Mart in the future, I moderate my intake of slurpee so this promotion does not do much for me.
Plus, Racetrac has frozen Dr. Pepper.
August 19th, 2017 at 3:37 PM ^
Frozen Dr Pepper?!?!
August 19th, 2017 at 3:56 PM ^
I'm in ESS AAAA SAYY country which in my mind is permanently linked with Dr. Pepper which is why I don't buy or drink it but they're on to something with Frozen Dr. pepper
August 19th, 2017 at 5:09 PM ^
SEC land was more about Mr. Pibb.
August 19th, 2017 at 5:49 PM ^
The Wal Mart version of Dr. Pepper.
August 19th, 2017 at 6:03 PM ^
Cumong man! Larry Culpepper just emits SEC and the South.
August 19th, 2017 at 2:06 PM ^
every single sip is a brain freeze for me. Not a single sip goes unpunished.
August 19th, 2017 at 2:51 PM ^
Sad to hear that - thoughts and prayers. Is your photo another unwanted side effect???

The DD coffee coolata is the worst BF facilitator ever! By far.

August 19th, 2017 at 8:15 PM ^

it's the fat!
August 19th, 2017 at 3:19 PM ^
But hey, if you have Diabetes, the best thing is to take is inhalable insulin called Afrezza. You can then have your slurpee and keep your blood glucose levels in check and minimize your hypo.

About an hour ago, there was someone walking down the street spooning Slurpee from a narrow but rather deep Tupperware container. We have a 7-11 not too far from here, and it is usually a big hit around these parts. So far over the years, the funniest one I've seen people take into a store was a small skillet.
August 19th, 2017 at 2:52 PM ^
Jim would be proud of the young lady in the photo!

From the 7-eleven website:
Michigan is home to eight of the top 10 Slurpee-selling stores in the company, with Detroit-area stores selling about 3.5 times as many Slurpee drinks per day than the average U.S. store.

Wonder if there is competition.
In Florida for example frozen coke/pepsi/grape drank/fire pepsi/dr pepper/etc are available at every gas station/convenience store, everywhere really.

Mike Rowe's podcast, "The Way I Heard It", has a great episode about the history of the slurpee. If you don't know about this podcast, check it out. It's brilliant.

Didn't they used to do this on July 11th (aka 7-11)? Doesn't really make sense to do it in August.
August 19th, 2017 at 7:43 PM ^
That's a free slurpee day. This is byo container

Damn MS and your lack of 7-11s... (Also, your lack of public parks, public education and terrible roads despite not dealing with freeze-thaw damage)
August 20th, 2017 at 7:35 AM ^
I think officials in MS are dealing with a different kind of Freeze damage at the moment.

Someone let Charlie Weis know.
