Oreo celebrated its 100th birthday with a birthday cake-flavored cookie.
Starbucks celebrated the Frappuccino’s 20th birthday with a birthday cake-flavored version.
Airheads came out with a birthday cake-flavored candy for its 30th birthday.
So it’s not surprising to see America’s favorite frozen beverage celebrate its 50th birthday with the Birthday Cake Slurpee. The flavor is produced by Fanta and is a combination of traditional birthday cake and vanilla ice cream flavors.
You can try the new flavor (or any flavor) for free on July 11, Free Slurpee Day, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time, while supplies last.
