Find The Biggest Cup You Can And Fill It With Slurpee This Weekend

By Anthony Todd in Food on Aug 17, 2016 2:47PM

Apparently, so many people loved 7-Eleven's "Bring Your Own Cup Day" that they're doing it again, and this time, it lasts two days. On Aug. 19 and 20, you'll be able to suck down all the sugar water you can carry away with you.

You might remember this promotion from back in March of this year, when we suggested you bring a bedpan (or other large object) to 7-Eleven.

Here are the details: You can bring your own drinking vessel to participating 7-Eleven stores, with some limitations. You then get to fill it with Slurpee for just $1.50.

The real question is, how creative can you get? The only rules are that the container must be watertight (so much for our plan to bring a colander and then have a friend lie under it and drink straight from the machine), clean and fit through a 10-inch diameter hole. We dare someone to create a giant vessel out of 10-inch diameter piping that holds gallons and gallons of slurpee. If you do, send us a photo!

As always, check to make sure your local store is participating in the promotion before you lug your kiddie pool all the way down to the 7-Eleven. And be healthy, please.
