Description
When Slurpees were introduced, the stores weren't 7-11 yet, but Speedy-mart, before being bought out by Southland and renamed 7-11. One of the best flavors, was of course, banana.

I remember riding our bikes to 7-11 and paying like 8 cents for a small lime slurpee and as long as you brought your original cup back the owner would let you refill for free... Ohhh the brain freeze.....
We rode our bikes also to SEV. I remember they sometimes had plastic cups with a theme of some kind. Loved the spoon-straw. My favorite was Cherry and Cola mixed. I can still see the machine with the see-through spin circle.
I remember these and I did get them at a c-store called Speedee-Mart. Only flavors I recall were cola and cherry.
It was a good Saturday when you went in and saw blueberry swirling around in the slurpee machine. Cola always there (yuck - Cola slurpees were for serious adult, kind of people);o)
Oh yea riding in the bed of my dad's yellow and white Chevy Truck(76 I belive) heading up the hill to SEV to get a Slurpee was the perfect way to end a summer day.
I slurped a Blue Blunder!!! Remember when they used to give away pins with the name of the new flavor on it!?!? I grew up in Markham Heights in Vacaville, Ca. I can remember when the property the 7-11 was built on was still a cow pasture with a creek. There was a guy named Joe Cruz (sp?) that built, I think, race cars or hot rods in his garage. I remember us kids would stand there during summer vacation, Slurpee in our hands watching him in awe. Before I forget - Coke Slurpees were SO GROSS!
Patricia, I bet you've slurped a lot of things!
