If you’ve ever felt like your Slurpee-drinking experience has been lacking a gun-wielding ninja, a heavily armored hero or a team of international terrorists bent on world domination, then man oh man do I have great news for you. Four 22-oz collectible Slurpee cups featuring Snake Eyes, Duke, Storm Shadow and The Baroness have invaded the 7-11 on your very own corner, offering an early taste of scenes from the film that were handpicked by yours truly. And since no one likes to drink alone, you can also pick up a matching character straw while you’re at it. Why? Because even though your mother told you never to play with your food, she never said anything about your drinks. Speaking of tasty beverages, 7-11 has two different G.I. Joe drinks to offer your discerning palette – Liquid Artillery, which is a tasty blend of strawberry, pineapple and lime that’ll help you beat the summer heat (and the evil forces of COBRA) and “Go Joe” cappuccino, which adds a little taurine and guarana to the morning fix of the coffee drinking crowd.
If all this excitement has you feeling like you’ve won a contest, there may be a reason for that – paper Slurpee cups bearing the G.I. Joe logo include a Slurpee Nation reward code that can be redeemed in an online instant-win contest. With prizes including X-Box 360 entertainment systems, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra videogames and a trip for two to attend the Los Angeles premiere of the film, you’d have to be as crazy as Cobra Commander not to hop in the car and head for the closest 7-11 right this minute. Enter early, often and quickly…just not too quickly, since brain freeze will probably be an issue.
