The SlurpeeTM is now 40 years old. And with THAT piece of news, I must ask: what’s scarier?
a. The fact that anyone kept track of how old the Slurpee is.
b. The fact that anyone cared to report on the issue, much less write a 1,149 word piece on it. Seriously, that’s how long the Slate article is.
c. The fact that I haven’t had a Slurpee in over 10 years.
I think it’s a tie between a and b.
And, in other related news, over fifty teenagers nation-wide were rushed to hospitals to treat severe cases of brain-freeze.
…Sorry, couldn’t resist.
