Life without Slurpees...
We moved from a land of many Slurpees...Practically every corner had a 7-11 and if one had defective Slurpees (runny, too icey, etc.) or bad flavors you could always go to the next one up the street. We were in Slurpee heaven. Then we moved to North Carolina. We made the fatal error of not fully investigating the Slurpee scene. There are absolutely no 7-11's in the Raleigh-Durham area!!! At first, we thought we'd check out the ICEE's at the deceptively named "7-Even". Suckicide. Since moving here, we've tried "Parrot Ice", Slush Puppies, smoothies, etc. They're all merely cheap imitations. We're going through massive Slurpee withdrawal. Please help. Where is the nearest Slurpee-ville? We're willing to travel.
