What is your favorite flavor or blend?

Me: Faygo Rock & Rye, when I can find it, is my first pick. It's likely a regional flavor in wherever Faygo is sold.

IMO, the GOAT flavor was a tangerine that I haven't seen since ~1997. Perhaps one of the key ingredients was banned by the FDA or something.

I think they're gross, but the kids love them just like I used to.

Slurpee Anecdote:

I was picking the kids up from school on July 11th when 7/11 gives away free small Slurpees. When I picked them up I said that we were going to stop for free Slurpees on the way home and they got all excited. We got to that damn store and there was literally a line OUT the door and around the corner of the store. No place to park. I thought this was obviously an anomaly, so we cruised around the corner to another 7/11 and , lo and behold, another fucking line. It was hot as shit, so we just went to Maverick and got the Slurpee knockoff. Who in hell waits in the heat for a free $1.65 Slurpee?

I stood in way too many lines in y life. Now I will pass up a free dinner rather than wait in line

I grew up on 7/11 slurpees in the 70’s and 80’s. I like the traditional cola flavor the best, but won’t complain about many of the other flavors either. Tangerine sounds pretty good actually!
