‘Peggers are famous for sucking back sweet sugary slurpees even when it’s -45 with the windchill, but for those of us who prefer to hibernate during the winter chill, you can now get your colourful concoction delivered to your door.
Food delivery service Uber Eats now offers deliveries from two 7-Eleven locations on their app and online, and yes, that includes slurpees.
Flavours are spelled out if you are a one-slurpee, one-flavour kind of person. If you like to mix it up, you can do that too – the app allows you to combine up to six flavours...
Winnipeg has been declared the Slurpee Capital of the World for 19 years in a row. The city’s franchise stores sell about 188,000 slurpees a month, while the Canadian average is about 174,000.

When I was a boy growing up in northern B.C., this was a real problem.
We lived in a small town called Kemano (or it might have been in Kitimat - we lived in both plus some others).
Some of the locals would feed the bears, especially bear cubs.
Eventually, of course, more would show up looking for free food and eventually the authorities would get concerned about possible danger to residents.
They would then order a kill to discourage the bears and the next time they showed up all the bears and cubs were shot.
This was happening every few months.
As a boy of maybe 5-7 at the time, even then I knew this was wrong and it broke my heart. Seemed to me then that it would have made more sense to kill the idiots feeding them.

^^^ or he put the top down during one of the recent "warm" spells and it froze that way.
Conclusion: Winnipegger driving the family vehicle to pick up the kids from Dairy Queen.
Silly Daniel, :facepalm: don’t you know by now that if it was a Winnipeger (AKA a Pegger) he would be going to 7/11 to get the Slurpees not to Dairy Queen

Dairy Queen is better. Good burgers as well as ice cream.
Maybe it's harder to taste food so close to the Arctic
Yes they have great burgers don’t know why I never think of going there but they definitely don’t have good ice cream they have ice milk. It totally lacks the cream part (I won’t even mention the taste comparison part)
It’s like calling a tofu burger a hamburger
or saying “I’ll have a BLT but hold the bacon.” That’s stil a good lettuce and tomato sandwich but not a BLT.
P.S. I’m not FROM HERE; no problems with my taste buds... and also no particular need or desire to experience self inflicted brain freeze any time of year
