You know you're addicted to Slurpees when...
If you can think of stuff to add to this list, by all means, send it in! I'd like to thank Matt <Bluenatic1@aol.com> for the idea for this page. His initial ideas inspired me to start this list. So, read on.... reasons you know you're addicted to Slurpees:

  • you know what flavors are currently in the machines at all the local 7-11s
  • ..... you know what all their textures are like also
  • you start to know the 7-11 clerks' names
  • ..... they start to know yours!
  • your girlfriend eyes you seductively asking you in a sexy voice what you want to do and like a moron you instinctively reply, "How 'bout we go pick up some Slurpees?"
  • your tongue is permanetly stained by your favorite Slurpee flavor (extra points if your boyfriend/girlfriend's is too... <grin>)
  • hanging out with friends consists of driving around aimlessly until you see a 7-11, at which time you purchase a Slurpee and continue to drive around aimlessly
  • you go to check out a new home/college/job and the first thing you think of is, "Where's the nearest 7-11?"
  • you always have at least 3 or 4 empty Slurpee cups sitting in your room and car
  • you get bored in the middle of the day and decide to make (or read) an "Addicted to Slurpees..." list.
  • your friends have learned they have to offer to buy you Slurpees for you to do favors for them
  • you go into a 7-11 and try to take pictures of the clerks but they refuse (see story)
  • They give you a coffee punch card and let you use it for slurpees. I have one now...7 slurpees and i get a free one (aadams@uvic.ca)
  • Matt Wittick <matt_wittick8@yahoo.com> says...
    • your family constantly bugs you about going to S.A. (slurpee annonamic) meetings.
    • after purchasing your slurpee, you have to wait under the gas stations shelter for the storm to calm down.
    • when the local 'shell station' clerk say's "oh it's you two again" to you and a friend at the checkout counter.
  • Lynn Hicks <thecat@onebox.com> says...
    • You know you're addicted when you have 100+ "collectible" plastic Slurpee cups from the last time you were pregnant and craved cherry Slurpees constantly.
    • You know you're -REALLY- addicted when you've actually seriously considered a 500 mile drive to the nearest 7-11 because you crave cherry Slurpees again during THIS pregnancy.
    • (...And you know your husband loves you when he's willing to drive the aforementioned 500 miles with you, although he has never actully seen a 7-11 or experienced the joy of a Slurpee.)
This is a very early list... I could probably go on forever (and I will later), but I have to delegate my time. The sad part of this list is that so far it's all inspired by real-life events.
