Following President Obama’s Slurpee Shout-Out, Free Cups of the Iconic Drink Will be Distributed Along the Way from Dallas to D.C.
Early yesterday, President Barack Obama jokingly told a Bloomberg reporter he might serve America’s favorite drink, the Slurpee®, during an upcoming meeting with the incoming House Speaker, Ohio Rep. John Boehner and referred to it as “a very delicious drink.”
“We are not surprised by President Obama’s comments about Slurpee, which is non-partisan and has been bringing people together for more than 40 years,” said Joe DePinto, 7-Eleven, Inc.’s president and CEO. “We have made an offer to the White House to install Slurpee machines and to host a Slurpee Summit.”
In addition to offering to host a Slurpee Summit, the Slurpee trucks will leave Dallas Friday for Washington, D.C., and share the “delicious drink” with the American people along the way.
To further commemorate President Obama’s momentous mention, 7-Eleven also is offering to install Slurpee machines at the White House and in Rep. Boehner’s office on Capitol Hill.
