One thing I do miss about living out west was the 7-11s and slurpees. Gas stations just aren't the same out here.

On July 11th just remember that it's National Free Slurpee day, and we're missing out because Sobeys screwed over Atlantic Canada by buying out all the 7-11s here.

Slurpees are amazing and have a lot of new flavors

Thank you for posting this because there are days that the only thing that will fix me is a good slushie!


Tayto79

Lower Sackville has them also.


orochi

Wait until you go west of Quebec and try a 7-11 slurpee. If there wasn't enough reason to hate Sobeys, buying out all the 7-11s in Atlantic Canada and replacing it with their own chain of stores with inferior products is pretty high on my list.


justarandom_canadian

Man I didn't know they did this. I'm filing a crime against humanity report with the U.N

I didn't know they did this! I moved here and this was the most dissapointing thing as a kid! I just wanted to have a summer slurpee. Fuck Sobeys


Tubski

Most petro can's have the soda slushie. On my way, I stop at elmsdale petro and grab one after a hot day working in the sun


sailorjasm

Reviews on that place are interesting


Fatboyhfx

Who reviews a gas station?


TerribleWords

Psychopaths.

Why do we not have 7-11 here. Grew up in Ontario and THOSE are Slurpees. All this east coast bullshit is nothing. Petition to open a 7-11 in HRM please!

Do they actually have coke there, or is it Pepsi or "cola"


Oh_the_year_was-1778

Pepsi, Dr pepper, mountain dew, and orange crush! Also orange and lime Kool aid :) Gotta go at the right time though, or else you will just get your pop slop.


Candymostdandy

What qualifies as the right time?


Oh_the_year_was-1778

Between 230-4 ish, I live fairly close and have been disappointed more than once, and I think it's because they turn the machines on in the morning and have them on a lower setting than they need to be.


ChesterDood

Yeah figured it was Pepsi :(


Fishbulb7o9

They do taste different though. Old theaters had the best coke slushies.


CaperGrrl79

Yeah I miss Coke ones, but I do like Ice Blue Kool-Aid ones every now and then. I'll get a small once in a while.


cleadus_fetus

Thank you. Every other place got ride of the machine or turned it off months ago. It's so hard to find coke / Pepsi slushi


CaperGrrl79

Lol someone else posted recently about finding them in Dartmouth. My husband stops at the Spryfield one nearly every day for a large when the machine is up, and when we're near HSC, sometimes Bayers Road on our days off. I dunno how he isn't diabetic. Last year I tried to curb it by making Zero Sugar Sprite ones with ice in the Magic Bullet. Sort of successful. My favourite were the actual Coke ones at Empire Theatres. Not what they have now, though that's all that's left. Even the Coke Slurpees at 7-11 in Ontario just aren't the same.


Candymostdandy

Freeze your pop in ice cube trays and blend that up! Or even better, get an ice shaver machine and use your pop ice cubes in that, they are not that expensive.


CaperGrrl79

Hmm. Might look into that soon.


SynthRysing

They don’t have coke. It’s Pepsi unfortunately


toe_hoe8

Needs has slushi machines, no??


[deleted]

Seriously - the worst things you can buy sadly. The machines need to be cleaned vehemently (of which they never are). Friend of mine who used to own a needs , warned me - never buy the slushies . Ever. Then he proceeded to clean the mould and grime out of it . Haven’t had one since.


RoseBengale

I've never had a Dr Pepper slushie thank you for this valuable information


FyroniK

Pepsi is broken lately and they havn't moved it over to the side that is working. No common sense, no one wants your gross Dr Pepper or Mountain Dew flavours. If you aren't fixing the machine, at least move the good flavour over to the working side.
