Brain Freeze Saturday: It’s “Bring Your Own Cup” Slurpee day at 7-Eleven!

Slurpee lovers, 7-Eleven has one crazy promotion running on 4/11/15: Bring Your Own Cup day! For $1.49, you’ll be allowed to fill whatever kind of cup you bring in to 7-Eleven. And, they’re making it clear that the container you bring doesn’t even have to be a cup:

Bring your carafes … beakers … goblets … jars … or anything else that could even remotely be considered a cup to a 7‑Eleven® store this Saturday. Then fill it up with Slurpee® deliciousness.

7‑Eleven is kicking off Slurpee season on April 11 with BYO Cup Day. Slurpee-lovers are invited to bring their own cups – or containers that can be used as cups – to their participating neighborhood 7‑Eleven store between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m., and fill it with their favorite Slurpee flavor.

The cost to fill the Slurpee “cup” of choice, regardless of size, is $1.49, the average cost of a medium Slurpee drink. The cup, though, must fit upright through an in-store display with a 10-inch-diameter hole. Sorry, trash cans and inflatable swimming pools are not eligible.

TEN inches in diameter? I guess the “cup” I have in mind for me & the kids to share will qualify. It’s this gallon drink pitcher I picked up for a dollar a couple summers ago. Picture this filled with cherry goodness and… five straws. Lest you think that is a ridiculous idea, look at the photo 7-Eleven is using for this promo — people drinking from an enormous Solo-style cup, a hard hat, and a top hat. Well then.

Have fun out there, Slurpee fans!
