The Great Slurpee Consipiracy

March 26th, 2009 by mrzebra | Print

Slurpees down here in the states are filled with more air than in Canada and they cost 1 cent more for the same 40oz.  drink.   I call shenanigans!

Is there a difference between American Slurpees and Canadian Slurpees?

Yes! According to 7-Eleven: “the Canadian product is heavier and wetter, the difference being that the American product is injected with air and is therefore drier. This is why you can feel that itch in the back of the throat when you drink it–that’s the air bubbles. The American stores have been using Cornelius equipment where as in Canada we have been using Taylor for years . Although both machines perform for their specific markets, they do create different products”.
