I wish we had a 7-11 in Wilmington. I use to get one everyday when I was a kid in Virginia.

I can't believe it took the civilized world 1,965 years after the birth of Christ to mix crushed ice with syrup...it's so simple yet so tasty!

......and I don't care!

ahh...Slurpees. I remember riding my bike to 7-11 and making a suicide....mix the cola, cherry, blueberry, and what other random flavor they had to make a brown delicious mess. :)

Suicides were key during little league baseball too. We'd get one free snow cone or drink after our games. If you asked for a suicide, they'd mix all flavors together. So tasty!
