A "Slurpee" is a partially frozen beverage that comes in various fruit and soda flavors. It is sold and marketed by and is a registered trademark of the 7-Eleven corporation. 7-Eleven was originally an American corporation, though having been bought by a Japanese company, Slurpees are now sold around the world.
In a Slurpee, finely crushed ice and a flavored sugar syrup are kept partially frozen by being constantly mixed in a rolling tumbler. A dispenser knob is available at the front of the tumbler/freezer, where the patron pours their own Slurpee. Common flavors are frozen coke and cherry, but new flavors are introduced regularly. Slurpees are particularly popular on hot days, and July 11, or 7-11 on a calendar, is a very common day to go get slurpees. Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada holds the record for annual Slurpee consumption, followed by Calgary and Detroit.
