We do not, however, have slurpees that I am aware > of. A clarification would certainly be welcome :) [moved to -chat for my own good] All the 7-11s here are 24/7 now as well. :) Anyway, a Slurpee is a lot like a sno-cone; it's basically carbonated water, partially frozen in a chamber very much like an ice-cream churn, then flavored with sugar syrup--and all this done by a special machine, where you pull the handle and the slush pours (sometimes with a LOT of force from the carbonation) into your cup. Every 7-11 store in the US has the machines (usually made by a company called "Cornelius" and holding 2 or 4 different flavors) that dispense Slurpees, and they're usually self-service (they were over-the-counter untill about 10 years ago, I think). -- Lee Cremeans -- Manassas, VA, USA (WakkyMouse on DALnet and WTnet) A!
