FAST FOOD NEWS: 7-Eleven Pepsi Cherry Vanilla Slurpee

Marvo

7-Eleven Pepsi Cherry Vanilla Slurpee

Late last year Pepsi released Pepsi Cherry Vanilla made with Real Sugar. Now there’s a Pepsi Cherry Vanilla Slurpee that may or may not be made with real sugar. But I’m going to go out on a limb and say it’s not. Hello, high fructose corn syrup! If anyone knows for sure, let us know.

An 8-ounce serving has 60 calories, 0 grams of fat, 10 milligrams of sodium, 16 grams of carbohydrates, 15 grams of sugar, 0 grams of protein, and 0 milligrams of caffeine.

If you’ve tried it, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

Mtn Dew Pitch Black at Speedway

Are you sad you didn’t win one of the cases of Mountain Dew Pitch Black in December? If you live near a Speedway, you need to turn that frown upside down because the grape-flavored Dew is available from their soda fountains.

The photo above was taken by Impulsive Buy reader Kalista, who was also told by one of the convenience store employees that it’s exclusively available at Speedway.

If you don’t live near a Speedway, just be patient. It appears Pitch Black is coming back for everyone.
