State #3: Oklahoma. 04/10/2015


I've had literally hundreds of 7-Eleven icy's in Oklahoma since I've lived there off and on since 2002! Still, I had to make it official... so I chose April 10th, 2015 to do it since it was an exciting day as my favorite NBA team the Sacramento Kings were in town to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder.

They lost 116-103, but what can you expect against Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook?? 

The 7-Elevens in the Oklahoma City area are a bit different than the ones everywhere else in the country... they are locally owned and instead of slurpees, they sell Icy's.  They actually, believe it or not, taste amazing and, in my opinion, even better than the slurpee (if that's possible)!  

On the way back from the game, I stopped at a 7-Eleven, and officially knocked Oklahoma off my list at...

8001 NW 23rd Street
Bethany, OK 73008

Reason for being in Oklahoma: I live here... but on this day I went to a OKC Thunder vs. Sacramento Kings basketball game.
Quality of Slurpee: DELICIOUS!!!
ICY Flavor: Pepsi (Yes, Oklahoma 7-Elevens make PEPSI Icy's!)
Location: Bethany, Oklahoma






State #2: Missouri. 10/28/2014.






October is always an exciting time for me because it's playoff time in Major League Baseball.  It's even more special when my favorite team, the San Francisco Giants are involved.  In 2014, the Giants were not only involved, but made it to the World Series for the 3rd time in 5 years!  They were playing the Kansas City Royals, and I got tickets to Game 6, which took place in Kansas City, Missouri, which meant... an opportunity to knock another state off my slurpee list!!

Missouri became the second state to get knocked off the list when I made a 7-11 stop on the way to the game (same thing as my first slurpee, except that was the state of Kansas.. this time I made sure to stop in Missouri).  I'm glad I got it before the game, because it wouldn't have tasted as good after the Giants lost 10-0!  (Luckily, they won Game 7 and the World Series).  I got this slupree at...

7-Eleven
4251 NE Antioch Rd
Kansas City, MO 64117
