That's probably due to the fact that people burn more calories in cold weather. People get dehydrated more easily, and thus, will want to replenish their thirst anyway they can.

That's probably due to the fact that people burn more calories in cold weather. People get dehydrated more easily, and thus, will want to replenish their thirst anyway they can. Slurpees are generally full of caffeine, which acts as a diuretic instead of a hydrator. The short term effects with a Slurpee will be the feeling of being rehydrated, but it only takes a short time for that caffeine to flush your fluids out, leaving you just as dehydrated as before.

We don't have slurpees in Minnesota, no 7/11's Weirdness.... I know they dont have as many 7/11's in the states, so are they still some in certain states? Is 7/11 a regional thing there where it exists only in certain regions?

There are tons of them in Edmonton. On a related note, ever notice that corner store on Ellice and Carlton that has copied Mac's? I cannot remember the exact name, but it is something like "Maxx". It also has a cat, with the old Macs colors, and is located 300 metres from the Macs at Norte Dame and Carlton. I'm suprised the real "Macs" hasn't raised a stink about it, since it certainly fooled me at first...

There's a 7-11 in Crookston MN. I know, I was staying in grand forks and they dont have a sev, but i needed a slurpee. I started asking around and heard there was one about 45 min away. So off I went.
Winnipeg sells more slurpees in the winter months than some cities do in a summer.
I would really like someone to open a sev in Grand Forks and Fargo.
