Bring Your Own Cup Day is back this Saturday, April 29 at 7-Eleven, Speedway, and Stripes locations nationwide. You can bring any size cup (or bucket) that fits under the 10-inch hole in the in-store display to get as much Slurpee as you can for $2. Here are the details and some inspiring and creative stretches of the word “cup.”
Walk into a participating 7-Eleven, Speedway, or Stripes location and fill up any “cup” that will fit into the dispenser. You don’t need to be a reward member of any store, but 7-Eleven put the following rules on their news release for the deal. As long as you meet these rules, you can let your creativity fill in the gaps and get whatever amount of Slurpee you can handle:
“Make sure the cup is food-safe and clean,” even if what you bring doesn’t fit the definition of a “cup.” “Ensure the cup can fit upright within the 10-inch hole in the in-store display—this will ensure it can also fit under the Slurpee drink dispenser.”“Confirm the cup is watertight AKA leak proof,” mainly so you’re not making a mess in the store.While these rules are set by the 7-Eleven corporate, it really is up to the staff on-site to determine what is allowed. Some have bent the rules in the past, and allowed some “cups” to be filled up that probably shouldn’t have been.
Here are some “cup” ideas for you can easily find around the house in case you need to get the juices flowing (just make sure to clean them):
If you forget your own cup, you’ll have to settle for a $1 Slurpee in a regular 7-Eleven cup.
