Whether or not a Slurpee Summit happens in Washington, D.C., there are a number of issues that need to be addressed in relation to the signature 7-Eleven drink. There are questions about flavors and what happens when you drink a Slurpee too fast.
America demands answers, 7-Eleven. And by America, we mean one cubicle at 1701 Main.
What is Wild Cherry? All cherries are theoretically wild, but that still doesn't explain the exact origin of a wild cherry. Same goes for the mythical Slurpee flavor known as blue raspberry (blue for short) -- which, for lack of a better description, tastes like blue.
Will I ever see a Coke and Pepsi Slurpee in the same store? You've managed to make both tastes into freez-y drinks, but do they exist at the same location?
How have we not yet managed to curtail the brain freeze? We have molecular gastronomy and a cup that can hold both soda and Slurpee, but stoners and children are still struck down daily by the condition known as brain freeze.
Will you ever stop inventing fruits? Lemon lime with a blast of grapefruit becomes "snow fruit." Really? You know what I don't want to eat? Flavored snow.
What's it going to take to get a Kansas City flavor? We support hometown flavors. Can't you throw us a rippleberry (blackberries with a kick of cayenne) or cupasaurus (lime green)?
Fat City readers, add your Slurpee questions to the comments.
