I'm pretty sure nobody needs the Extra Double Large Big Gulp. I'm not sure if 7-Eleven has international locations, but if they do - I'm certain they only market this product in the United States.
Related content, I saw an ad where 7-11 says they'll deliver your slurpee to your door. (a) No way it won't be partly melted by the time it arrives; and (b) Who the fuck needs a slurpee so bad they get it delivered?
Perhaps too stoned to drive? :lol:

Do people get slurpee cravings when stoned? I dunno, maybe? I get a slurpee craving once a summer that has to be satisfied, and halfway thru it's always confirmed, nah, I really don't like them much. But every summer, when it gets stupid hot, I think, huh, I'd like that. Dumb.
Same here. There is always at least one super hot day where a Slurpee sounds amazing and then I'm always disappointed. Also, nobody needs to get a Slurpee delivered. We have a large gas station chain in Wisconsin called Kwik-Trip and one of their "calling cards" is a decent hot food selection. Please note: it's better than a lot of gas station food, but it's still gas station food. Anyway, you can order food on their online app and then have it waiting for you when you get there.

I literally can't remember the last time I had a slurpee. High school no doubt, but even at my most "who gives a fuck what I'm putting in my body" it just never appealed.

Guess I just always preferred the treat the 90s invented: the otter pop 😎

Wiggle - you can raise the dead

I guess if your standards are that poor—and, believe me, I have pretty meh expectations of food—convenience is a key perq.

Been a very long time since I was "stoned" so I can't say for sure. As for me, I don't care much for them either.

I have to park in the driveway and I back in because it's easier for me to see cross traffic when I pull out.

We don't have a lot either, I just feel better not having to back out, by backing in I can leave faster.

Trying to send like 10 bucks to an American band via PayPal because BandCamp screwed up international shipping costs:

- log in to my account
- it's asking me to confirm via my UK phone number
- spend an hour trying to find my UK SIM
- confirm and log in
- UK credit card associated with account expired years ago
- go to change it
- can't change countries, need to set up a new account
- download app
- hit sign up
- put all the details in
- attempt to link current card
- "something has gone wrong!"
- wait for text
- click on link in text that takes me back to the app
- please upload your Canada Pension Plan documents for verification
- throw phone out the window

... ten... measly... dollars!!!!

When the gods want you to pirate, the signs they send are unambiguous and should be heeded.

Yes, I think the signs are clear.
