I grew up on Slurpee as a child. I wait all year for Summer. I can’t wait to get the first Slurpee of Summer. If truth were told, there are times when I will purchase a Slurpee in Winter as they’re so good.
Charlie is just like me, and it doesn’t seem like a day goes by that he doesn’t ask his dad to take him to 7-Eleven to purchase a Slurpee and a Snickers. I would like to invite you to come with me to 7-ELEVEN® LAUNCHES BIG RED SLURPEE® BEVERAGE and let’s pick up a Slurpee and a snack of some kind.
With Charlie, you never know what flavor of Slurpee he will pick. As for me, I stick with Coke or Dr. Pepper although as a child sometimes I would ask for a Cherry Slurpee. I have been none to mix Coke and Cherry and let me tell you it is YUMMY!!
I would like to let you know about a brand-new flavor of Slurpee which is Big Red. I grew up on Big Red and even though I want it a lot I didn’t try the Slurpee. But Charlie did, and he has said it is so good and he can’t wait to order another one. Charlie said he thinks everyone should try out the Big Red Slurpee as he is sure you will like it as much as he did.
