Solid cold at 7-Eleven

Slurpees just got even cooler.

Now you can suck down your slushy treat with a new edible Slurpee Candy Straw, available at 7-Eleven. The licorice-like straws, which sell for 49 cents, harden when you dunk them in a cold Slurpee. When you finish the Slurpee, you can eat the straw and feel good about saving the environment from petrochemical waste products.

The straws come in two colors–Sour Strawberry and Blue Raspberry–to match your post-Slurpee lips and tongue.
