Slurpee: $1.79

I remember when I first got to Guadalajara, I was overjoyed to see 7-11s gracing the downtown corners, purely at the prospect of having a Slurpee source in a then-sweltering foreign land. Slurpees have always been a source of instant joy for me, and I still haven't found anything quite as refreshing as drinking a cold slurpee in a hot shower after a few sweaty hours at a volleyball tournament. Imagine my horror, then, when I first whooshed through the swinging doors, heading towards where my instincts told me would be the beverage corner, and found nothing. Not a Big Gulp, not a spoon straw to be found. How, HOW, do you have 7-11s but no Slurpees? Ah, Mexico, how much you have yet to learn.
