So many summers scrounging up enough change for you and your friends to ride bikes to 7-11 for a slurpee and maybe some candy if you had enough left over

I’m from Singapore and used to get Slurpee from 7-11 when I was young. They don’t seem to sell it here anymore.

Which 7-11s?

Most of the 7-11s i've seen still have slurpee machines. Maybe the one you went to had it down?

Oh I was asking so I could buy some. Maybe the ones I go to are smaller.

Even the small void deck 7-11s have them. Ofc, not the ones who are essentially newspaper stands. Or the standalone one in orchard road(didnt check.)

Why must the one at my office be the one not to have a slurpee? I get sandwiches and coffee in the morning and wouldn’t mind buying a slurpee once in a while.

I kind of miss 5 cent candies. The bags and tongs and other people’s germs, but getting to select each candy.

monsters, taquitos, and mw2 with the boys, that was my life every weekend for a hot minute. Shit I remember one summer the gang going on a rotation at everyone's house where time was just a suggestion and the main concern was entertainment 24/7 lol.

I dont even talk to any of those people anymore. Life is such a trip sometimes.

Yup, flipping sofa cushions to find the change to make the .99$ needed

The kids in my neighborhood would get a large slurpee cup, put a pack candy inside and then fill it with slurpee. Pretty clever but they found out fairly quickly and cracked down on it.

You put the candy bar in the slurpee before you fill it. 😉

yes, and walking around looking at stuff as you drink most of it only to refill before paying and leaving. so many brain freezes that could have been avoided had I not been greedy.
