White Cherry Slurpee
By Marvo | January 14, 2005
She’s my cherry pie
Cool drink of water
Such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good
Make a grown man cry
Sweet cherry pie
Thank you, Los Angeles! Good night!
Oh, what? Sorry folks, today’s product just reminded me of the Warrant song “Cherry Pie.”
Now some of you young folks maybe wondering, “Who the hell is Warrant?”
Warrant was this “metal” band from the late 80’s and early 90’s. Notice the “metal” in quotes. You see back then there were these bands that used waaaaaaaaay too much hair spray and they called themselves “metal” bands, but they…
Oh, never mind. I don’t want to explain this. Go watch VH1 and you’ll understand.
“What does ‘cherry pie’ mean?”
Um…go ask your parents about that.
One of the great things about the Impulsive Buy’s location is that I can walk 100 yards and buy a Slurpee whenever I want. When I do buy one, I always get a 40-ounce Slurpee, because it makes sense economically to buy the biggest size. Remember it’s usually good to buy in bulk.
I also ask for a brown paper bag to put my Slurpee in, so that when people ask me what I’m drinking, I can tell them I’m drinking a forty, dogg.
For as long as I can remember, the convenience store down the street had a Slurpee dispenser with only four flavors. This sucked because two of those were always the Slurpee staples of Coke and Strawberry. This meant that not many new flavors would be available at the store.
However, the store recently went through a renovation and it now has a Slurpee dispenser with EIGHT frickin’ flavors. When I saw all those flavors I almost slurpeed all over myself.
One of the newest flavors is White Cherry Slurpee.
She’s my cherry pie…
Oh, sorry. I got that song stuck in my head.
After trying it, I have to say that the White Cherry Slurpee is so good that it’s now in my Top 10 Favorite Slurpee Flavors List. To be honest, I didn’t expect to like it, but it’s surprisingly good with its sweet and tart taste.
Ever since trying the White Cherry Slurpee a week ago, I’ve purchased several since then. I guess you can say it has become addictive, like another white, crystallized substance called crack.
Except with the White Cherry Slurpee there aren’t any hallucinations, weight loss, or paranoia.
Item: White Cherry Slurpee
Purchase Price: $1.29 (40 oz.)
Rating: 4 out of 5
Pros: Nice sweet and tart taste. Addictive like crack. It’s in my Top 10 Favorite Slurpee Flavors List. I like “cherry pie.”
Cons: She’s my cherry pie. Get out of my head, Warrant!

mmmm…7-11’s here don’t have slurpees. They do have sake, though.

Testify! I luff Slurpees! I’m not a big fan of cherry flavor anything, but I do love the white cherry Slurpee also. My #1 favorite flavor is the Twizzler one, though. OMG, Belinda Carlisle WAS right, Heaven IS a place on Earth! The grape is a close #2. Viva la Slurpee!

I wouldn’t even know where to get a Slurpee around here.
Sucks out here in bumfuck.

Ohhh…I have to go try one of these. I hope the 7-11 around here has it…

That song reminds me of primary school dances.

Alex - I’m sure they also have a ton of Asahi beer.
Kirkkitsch - Twizzler? Holy crap. I’d take a bath in Nair to try that.
Webmiztris - I don’t know what’s worse a sewer smelling office or no 7-11s
Thumper - Just find a 7-11 that offers a lot of flavors.
Fiona - My school dances only played booty music, no “metal.”

Oh, I just wish I knew where to find a 7-eleven. Maybe I’ll move to Hawaii. But, wait! There are no Red Circle Botiques on the islands so I’ll just have to find one closer to home. Darn.

kmsqrd - I thought 7-11’s were EVERYWHERE. I guess not. Man, I really do need to get off of this rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean more often.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a strawberry Slurpee. The flavors around here are always Coke and Cherry. White Cherry has been around here for a long time. I don’t think I know the difference between White Cherry and regular Cherry. I guess I’d have to taste them back to back. I love Slurpees.

You know, I hate slurpees but your pic makes it look so good, I’m actually tempted! (BTW,You should get 7-11 to give you a commission for sales! lol)
January 16th, 2005 at 11:14 am
=( We don’t have a 7-11 around here either.
January 16th, 2005 at 3:49 pm
laanda - I remember the Cherry flavor, but that was a looooong time ago.
dotbar - Nah, if they gave me a commission I would be selling out. I ain’t no sellout. Well on second thought…
Mimi - I’m sorry.

ahhh… a couple of words on the white cherry slurpee. this idea was derived from the White Cherry ICEE, which was developed several years ago at the bequest of chain stores such as Kmart and Target. Evidently parents were buying cherry icees for their kids to drink in the store, and the kids were spilling the shit all over themselves and the merchandise, and that red dye stains. So, they took out the red and voila… white cherry. I prefer to call it albino cherry, though.

kimdog - How about Cherry Clear? Nah. I think Albino Cherry sounds better too.
