After a month, I was finally able to buy a Slurpee today. Crystal Light Strawberry Banana. Flavor was a bit intense. But it was cold. (And kosher, whatever that means!)
Instead of the regular rush in/rush out in disgust of the the lack of diet-conscious Slurpees that has been my previous experience, I took my time and perused the other selections:
- Some pleasant surprises: protein bars.
- Some odd choices: a little bowl of sliced mango (just mango) for $2.89.
- Some "This would be so awesome if I was 20 and stoned" munchies: nachos with hot cheese and chili.
- Some mutant foods: a cheeseburger thingie that is processed into the shape of a large hot dog.
Suddenlyan inspiration. Why not do the "Morgan Spurlock" treatment here? Eat breakfast, lunch and dinner here at 7-11 for an entire month. A quick glance to the burger dog convinces me that a week would be fine. The aroma of cheese (powder mixed with hot water) limits it to breakfast and lunch only. The Star magazine on the rack reminds me that it's swimsuit season and 'too thin is in'. The idea is shelved until October at least.
