A 7/11 Carol

Gather round children, I'm gonna tell you a story about a man
a man named Joe C. Thompson

2000 years ago, shortly after baby jesus was born, a man named Joe C. Thompson was born in what is now known as Dallas, Texas. J.C. Thompson was a humble man, worked at an ice company, but he aspired to much greater things. He had a dream, a dream to create a multinational chain of conveniences stores accessible to the general public so that they may get cheap, affordable snacks at any time of the day. That dream became a reality in 1843, when the first 7-11 was created in Dallas, Texas. It was named 7-11 because J.C. spent 7 days and 11 nights toiling in the hot Dallas sun, crafting the first outlet with brick and mortar, using his own hands. That night Thompson passed out from heat exhaustion, and had yet another vision. His store would hold an altar, devoted to a mystical cooling/churning semi-autonomous mechanism that would dispense semi-frozen flavored paste into bright and colorful 16oz cups. Thus, the slurpee was born. 17 hours later 7/11 was purchased by some Japanese company. Today, we honor Joe C. Thompson's hard work and determination by thrusting our bodies out into the brutal summer heat and harassing 7/11 clerks for free slurpees.

NOT ME THOUGH CUZ IM FUCKING SICK

only holiday that fucking matters and i get sick

anyways, talk about slurpees and how much they fucking own, and how free they will be tomorrow, on 7/11.
icees too! icees are ok (not free on 7/11 though)
do not talk about slush puppies though

    Some of my fondest childhood memories involve late night Slurpee runs with my dad, back when they had all kinds of weird ass flavors like banana and coconut.

    I am sure as hell getting one tomorrow

    slurpees are really good at delivering hundreds of calories to the fat in your ass

    this is one of those bad eating habits I am glad I have discarded

    now to work on my drinking :(

    Didn't like carbonation as a kid so I never drank soda. Still don't drink soda as an adult. Slurpee doesn't really appeal to me.

    Those of us lucky enough to bask in the heavenly glow of QT know that its drinks and freezes are the finest among men. But, 7-11 still wins for nostalgia reasons.

    Looking at this list of flavours makes me want to weep

    In Australia we have Coke flavour, raspberry flavour and then it's a crapshoot at what else you'll get. They're usually terrible.

    Creaming Soda is good, every now and then you'll find kiwi strawberry or one of the good sour flavours like green apple or watermelon. I've seen grape twice. Dr Pepper once.

    I tried one from one of the gas stations near me about a year ago and it was really awful. I'm hoping their machine was just broken that day and that is not what they always taste like because damn.

    Tell me how you personally eat a Slurpee: do you shovel the frozen part into your mouth with the spoon-straw while trying to get it all down before any of it melts? Do you just drink the concentrated syrup from the bottom at your own pace so it melting doesn't matter much? Do you do a little of both where you start off eating the frozen part and then switch to drinking the melted part? Do you do something completely crazy that I didn't detail here?

    I'm personally number two there and I want to know how many people [strike]find me to be a deviant because of it[/strike] share in my methods.
