7-Eleven is back with their annual "Bring Your Own Cup Day". This event will take place on Saturday, April 13.
Bring Your Own Cup Day is a tradition that encourages customers to get creative on what defines a cup. Maybe it's a drink tower, maybe it's a mini swimming pool, or maybe it's a helmet! Customers have a chance to fill up these unconventional containers with their favorite Slurpee flavor for just $1.99.
Hey, who are we to tell you what a cup is?
While we don't have any 7-Elevens in Georgia, there are two just an hour away from the CSRA.
Location 1:
5143 Platt Springs Rd, Lexington, SC 29073
Location 2:
5221 US-321, Gaston, SC 29053
Some of the craziest "cups" customers have brought to 7-Eleven:
A Toilet

Now this is just sick. My question is was it a brand new toilet just for the occasion or what?
Fish Tank
(Photo by VCG)This is exactly how I imagine a person to drink out of a fish bowl - except filled with a Slurpee.
Hey, there are two things you do when your fish passes away... you get some new fish or use the tank to drink a Slurpee!
Empty Alcohol Bottles

Okay, I can see this, but does this go against the open container law?!
Carved Out Pineapple

Now you're thinking!

Minus the chicken, I hope.
Disclaimer: In order to properly enjoy BYOC Day, the cup should be clean, watertight, leak-proof, and fit upright within the 10-inch hole in the in-store display, indicating it can fit under the Slurpee drink dispenser.
Offer valid only on 4/13/24. Limit 1 cup per person.
3 New Krispy Kreme Treats To Try
Krispy Kreme is at it again and this time around it is a must-have and could really be dangerous to your waste line. Now that I think of it, couldn't all of the goodness from Krispy Kreme be bad for your waste line?
Krispy Kreme is famous for its collaboration with candy and its themes for doughnuts pretty much year-round. They just released the Total Eclipse Doughnut. An Original Glazed doughnut dipped in black chocolate icing, sprinkled with silver sprinkles, topped with OREO butter creme & an OREO cookie. There's no way that it didn't make looking at the eclipse better, right?
What Is Krispy Kreme Up To Now?
Krispy Kreme has teamed up with Kit Kat for the next round of "OMG" madness. The new doughnuts are starting to pop up at participating Krispy Kreme shops and should be in most all participating stores by April 10th. As always, these are only here for a limited time so if Kit Kat is your thing you better grab them fast. They are available for pick up and delivery and can be ordered on the Krispy Kreme App.
The three new flavors include:
- Kit Kat Crunch: an Original Glazed hand-dipped in Hersey’s Milk Chocolate icing and finished with chopped Kit Kat pieces and chocolate-flavored crispies.
- Kit Kat Cookie Dream: an unglazed doughnut filled with cookie dough-flavored Kreme, hand-dipped in Hershey’s Milk Chocolate icing and covered with Kit Kat pieces, cookie crumbles, Hersey’s chips, then they add a drizzle of cookie dough-flavored icing.
- Kit Kat Salted Caramel Brownie: They take an Original Glazed doughnut top it with a brownie batter-flavored buttercream, covered with chopped Kit Kat and brownie pieces, and then finished with salted caramel-flavored ribbons.
Something a little different time, The Kit Kat Crunch and the Kit Kat Salted Caramel Brownie doughnuts will also be available in a six-pack and delivered to select grocery stores, including participating Walmart, Kroger, Food Lion, and Publix. Most of the time you can only get the special treats in store only.
Previous Krispy Kreme Specials
The most recent round of Krispy Kreme specials was the Total Eclipse Doughnuts but throughout the year they do a lot of specials.
Not to mention the doughnuts that are coming to McDonald's.
So maybe there is a stop at Krispy Kreme in your future, if not it should be. I can't wait to try the Kit Kat themed specials. I personally think Kit Kat candy bars are the best candy there is. So, when I saw this commotion, my taste buds and eyes perched up.
The Kit Kat Edition
In stores now and also in select grocery stores, the new Kit Kat doughnuts are here. I personally think Kit Kat is the greatest candy there is so this is a piece of heaven just calling my name and if I'm not careful, I will answer the call.
The Total Eclipse
Before the Kit Kat Doughnut, the Total Eclipse was the latest Krispy Kreme Doughnuts treat. I'll be honest, this one snuck up on me and didn't know about this one. I'm sure it made looking at the eclipse more fun and even if you didn't see the eclipse, it had to have made it taste better.
The Spring/Easter Special
You know that every time you bit into a Krispy Kreme doughnut that it's going to be a treat and it never gets old. It's cool when they freshen them up with a theme and the Easter/Spring were super neat. They not only were tasty, but they just looked good.
The St Patrick's Day Special
Every year around St. Patrick's Day, we hope that Krispy Kreme will keep this one coming. Why not more luck of the Irish?
Christmas
This may be the one people love the most. During the Christmas season, you really have to get to the Krispy Kreme store to get your hand on these. They go fast and of course they make great decorations for all of your Christmas parties and gatherings.
