FREE SLURPEES TODAY

i am about to head to my local 7-11 & get in on the action - will report back.

Am I the only person here to think that "slurpee" is a grotesque name?

nb: I do not address the acceptability of the product as a foodstuff, questionable as it is, but "slurpee" qua "slurpee", a word which must be said aloud in order to indicate one's desires to the cashier.

Competing with Starbucks, who roll out their fancy Slurpee today.

slurpee is more appetizing a name than icee. who wants a carton of ice with some smug koala bear on it?

no worse than the "sloche" version found at 7-11 equivalent Couche-Tard here in Quebec, the convenience store chain with the grossest ads:

(a friend got one of these sloches the other day. it tastes like a glucose-superinfused version of the inside of a creamsicle)

surely the icee bear is of the 'polar' variety?

that's even worse!

will report back.

delicious!

Slurpee's not that bad. I don't even mind the word “slurpee.” You know it's, it's “pee,” which is good. And a “slur” in front of it. SLUR-PEE. When you consider the other choices, “slurpee” is actually pretty refreshing.

my birthday :)

if you'd rather wait in long-ass line for a free promotional slurpee than just stroll in on the other 364 days and throw down a $1.50, you could learn a few lessons on being an adult, imo

hear that markers, today you are a man

LOL

fuck man nobody told me it stopped at 7 pm

who the hell has a slurpee before 7 pm

Nonono, it's SLURP-PEE.

Couche-Tard

okay waht

French-Canadian 7-11
http://www.seeklogo.com/images/C/Couche-Tard-logo-9E657CD78C-seeklogo.com.gif

wait

their logo is literally "Couche-Tard (o_O)"

the translation, if you're wondering about the name, translates to "up late". hence the night owl logo.

aptly named too, imho. last time i was in Montreal we drunkenly swung by a C-T and grabbed some pepperettes and cheese curds to snack on at 3am!

xpost

I know the 'd' is silent but still

more like "Couche-Tard (-_o)"

"I'm hungry."
"It's 2:30 AM!"
"So? We can swing by Couche-Tard."
"o_O"
"EXACTLY"

Pronouncing the d in couche-tard in the name of 10-year-old-boy humour is my god-given right as an anglophone

*my* god-given right as an anglophone is, apparently, to have been unaware i was not supposed to pronounced the "d" in the first place.

didn't do this

^^ posts very much out of character

i've never gotten a free slurpee

i've also never collected those points thing which i probably should've -- probably could've gotten something p neat by now

"to the Slurpeemobile!" *VROOOOM*

otm

tell us more about your date with marissa tomei, some dude.

I always pronounce the d in couche-tard, and find the chain endlessly amusing when visiting quebec

even more entertaining was when they tried a hostile takeover of a local convenience store chain in iowa o_O

you don't ask the clerk for a slurpee you make it yourself and take it to the counter
