7-11 Deprived

Experienced "frozen Coca Cola" at last weeks NRA in Chicago - though not overwhelmed by the taste - raved to the booth's marketing rep about the brilliance of his product - 

• Asked - "where do you live?" - 
• Responding - "Manhattan" - 
• Rep remarked/asked - "you don't have any 7-11s - do you" - 

The product is not new - just alien to Manhattan culture - felt like George Bush when he discovered the grocery scanner - 

So much for being "all knowing" -

My dear Buff, they are called Slurpees. Frozen drinks that come with over sized straws, if I recall correctly. How is it possible that you never had one? http://www.slurpee.com/ Repent now, head for the suburbs and do the right thing. While you are there, check out the frozen selections at Dairy Queen. =)
