Reply to comment by LADYBIRD_HILL in TIL that the Slurpee was invented by accident when a Dairy Queen owner would provide frozen soda, from a cooler, to customers when his soda fountain would break down. The owner, Omar Knedlik, improvised the Icee machine out of car parts, which was eventually licensed by 7-11, to become the Slurpee. by jdward01

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.

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.
