REVIEW
Monday was 7/11 – Slurpee Madness – and upon my departure of the office, it was decided that a review must take place of the Slurpee. A favorite pastime of mine as a child, this treat has inconspicuously moved into my subconscious, but it arose when an invitation came across my iPhone from a co-worker of mine. “Bing!” and it read – “Trip to Seven Eleven for the free Slurpee Special.” Then it hit me, today is… 7/11. I accepted. The rest is history.
The Slurpee
It all depends on your “flav” – I am a berry girl…but that one was exploding and making strange sounds when the lever was pulled. I then had to divert my selection to the Piña Colada flavor. Interesting that 7-11 found this to be a lucrative flavor for the 7 year old market. There must be something behind this. The Slurpee was good for about 10 minutes, until it melted. Then I found myself drinking a cup of syrup flavored like a Piña Colada – depressing. It was trashed, not worth my calorie count for the day…
So Great…
The selection, and the thing was free, I don’t think you can beat that and if you are complaining, shame on you, just make fun of the experience…
The Bummer…
The exploding berry flavor. I was hoping to have flashbacks to childhood when I pulled that lever, that was interrupted by an awful sound that got me some looks. No more to say…
GO get yourself a Slurpee today!
