Slurpees are the best!

After golfing at Valley View Golf course for 4 and 1/2 hours in 100 degree weather, me and Tony stopped at 7-11 to grab a Slurpee. There I found my new favorite flavor to be Dr. Pepper. Here are some cool Slurpee facts I found at: http://www.slurpee.com/Slurpee101/Facts.aspx
