Life without Slurpees...
We moved from a land of many Slurpees...Practically every corner had a 7-11 and if one had defective Slurpees (runny, too icey, etc.) or bad flavors you could always go to the next one up the street. We were in Slurpee heaven. Then we moved to North Carolina. We made the fatal error of not fully investigating the Slurpee scene. There are absolutely no 7-11's in the Raleigh-Durham area!!! At first, we thought we'd check out the ICEE's at the deceptively named "7-Even". Suckicide. Since moving here, we've tried "Parrot Ice", Slush Puppies, smoothies, etc. They're all merely cheap imitations. We're going through massive Slurpee withdrawal. Please help. Where is the nearest Slurpee-ville? We're willing to travel.

CBC Interview w/Ted Deller 'Why are there no Diet Slurpees'
Shannon left South Albert 7-11 in July. She was the best.
7-11 anniversary in July
'Free slurpees'
Raised price of small slurpee to $1.06 from $.95


OH OH...I'VE CREATED AN ADDICT
Mia has seen me drink my fair share of slurpees. When we drive by 7-11 she hollers out 'Swerpee' She wants the 'brown' one (pepsi) I give in. She knows to get the small yellow cup. I have one of two 'Slurpee Cards' at South Albert 7-11. Buy 10, get 1 free. Love it.

SATURDAY SLURPEES
Due to Body for Life, I can only have slurpees on Saturdays. It's such a treat. Shannon at South Albert 7-11 ordered Cream Soda on tap for me, and I truly appreciated it. I still love Pepsi. The consistency is so consistently great. I still love my Dr. Pepper.

slurpee escapades 2003
Sun, Aug 10, 2003
Took Mia and Emma to Hill Ave 7-11. Shockingly, the Pepsi was watery, so I went with Dr. Pepper which lost it's peak instantly.
Sat, Aug 9, 2003
Took Mia to South Albert and was happy to find cream soda. I was craving Pepsi, so I added a drop of Cream Soda on top.
