With the current heatwave, there’s no better way to beat the heat and relive childhood memories than with this icy treat.
The Slurpee has been a Canadian favourite since 1969, when the first one was poured in Calgary.
These bone-chilling -2.2 degrees Celsius drinks (okay, maybe not that bone-chilling) have been cooling Canadians off ever since.
Invented by Omar Knedlik at his Kansas hamburger stand in the 60s, the Slurpee quickly became a sensation.
Ever wondered why it’s called 7-Eleven?
The name came from the store’s original hours of operation, 7am to 11pm.
Even though many locations are now open 24/7, the name stuck around, making 7-Eleven a staple in street slang and convenience store culture.
Whether you’re a fan of classic cola, Crush Orange, or the more adventurous flavours, it is a no brainer to hit up your nearest 7-Eleven to cool down with a free Slurpee on July 11th.
