Happy Birthday, 7-Eleven!
Happy Birthday, Charlie Murphy!
I have a feeling birthday cake tastes better in cappuccino form than Slurpee form.

According to the coffee chain, it’s the company’s first iced espresso beverage that features coconut milk. The Iced Coconut Milk Mocha Macchiato is available at participating locations in the U.S. and Canada.

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.

Baskin-Robbins’ Flavor of the Month for July 2016 is Oreo Birthday Cake.
The ice cream flavor features chocolate cake flavored ice cream, Birthday Cake Oreo cookie pieces, frosting bits, and a candy confetti ribbon. It appears to use the Birthday Cake Oreo with chocolate wafers. This is, if my knowledge of Oreo products is correct, the first time this Oreo variety has been highlighted in another product.
