7-Eleven currently sources their FCB equipment from supplier FBD and previously from suppliers IMI Cornelius and the Taylor Company.

The Slurpee machine has a dispenser knob for each flavor at the front of a tumbler or freezer, where a patron pours his or her own Slurpee. It wasn't always that way - when Slurpees first came into creation the machines were located behind the counter and the cashier on duty would fill the cup. Common flavors are frozen Coke and cherry, but new flavors are introduced regularly. In the early days flavors rotated much more vigorously than in modern times.

In the summer of 2006, 7-Eleven re-designed their cups to appeal more to young adults and teenagers to compete with the rising energy drink market. New signs and banners supported the change with lines such as "Mountain Dew Livewire: Shocking, like your report card."

Worldwide consumption

7-Eleven stores, once only found in the United States, are now a worldwide franchise and Slurpees are offered in many but not all covered countries.

Canadians purchase an average of 30 million drinks per year. Despite its status as the coldest city in the world with a population of over 600,000, Winnipeg, Manitoba was crowned the Slurpee Capital of the world for the eighth time in a row in 2007. In Manitoba, 7-Eleven stores across the province sell an average of 8,330 slurpee drinks per month. The rest of Canada sells an average of 5,990, which makes Manitobans the world leader of Slurpee Sales.

Dietary Information

Slurpees are mostly water ice and are heavily infused with air; there is less food energy in a Slurpee than in the same volume of a soda of the same name.

Many Slurpee flavors are certified kosher "parve", as well as halal. The Diet Pepsi flavor uses sodium caseinate as an anti-freezing agent (sugar is a natural anti-freeze in other flavors) which only gives it the status of kosher dairy. The Piña Colada flavor, however, is not kosher.
