Slurpees....



Recommended Posts

I think i know the answer but then i'm not so sure so here goes....

Are the slurpees from 7-11 carbonated?!?! Man i could go for one of the sugar free ones but then im not sure if they are carbonated or not?!

My guess is they all are because that's how they stay so light and fluffy...Anyone know for certain?? :)

Are slurpees officially gone forever?

I believe they are. They pump co2 into the machine during the freezing process. That's why I stick to sugar free sno cones!

If they are it really isn't noticable. When and if I do drink soda I drink it half flat (Doc says thats fine as long as it's not bubbly) and I think the slurpee is less carbonated than my flat soda. Like my flat soda, I stir the slurpee around anyway so it flattens it and makes it a little watery, it's easier to drink that way. I drink a sugar free slurpee once a week and haven't had problems. And FYI, just because it's sugar free doesn't mean it's calorie free, there's 20 calories and 8 carbs per 8oz! So be careful, because I can easily drink a 32oz and not even bat an eye.. they're so good.

I'm 49 and never had a slurpee. We don't have 7-11's. I've traveled a lot, but never stopped for a slurpee. Got to find me one.

Actually, the carbonation is dead in slurpees. The freezing makes it flat. If you let a slurpee melt you'll notice there's zero carbonation.

I had one last month because I was craving the taste of Coke. I just had a small as a treat and it totally took care of my craving.

I'm not absolutely sure....but I think they are carbonated. I have had the smallest size, sugar-free slurpee. I drank it slow, but felt burpee...so I havent had one since.

I live a few feet of a 7-11 and yes they are carboated. But the carbonation is so minute, that you hardly notice, its basically flat. Like Mis73 said, freezing kills it.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
