Manitoba’s title as Slurpee Capital of the World will be undisputed this long weekend as 7-Eleven’s Bring Your Own Cup event returns.
On Friday, May 18 and Saturday, May 19, the convenience store chain is welcoming customers to be creative and bring in their own vessels to hold Slurpee.
“Every year, Bring Your Own Cup is highly anticipated by our fans,” said Doug Rosencrans, GM and vice-president of 7-Eleven Canada.
“Our loyal customers never fail to amaze us. The genuine fun and creativity they bring is incredible and it’s made BYOC event one of our legacy events.”
From milk jugs to rice cookers and tea kettles, customers can fill up their own container for $2 as part of the fifth annual promotion. Limited time flavours will also be available this weekend, including Crush Banana, Pepsi Black Cherry and Crush Jelly Bean.
Containers must be within 26 cm in diameter, watertight, clean and hygienic. There is a limit of one container per person per day and no refills.
