The Ron Swansonification of the Slurpee has begun, as 7-Eleven is offering customers the option of enjoying them in mason jars with mustached straws:
It was only a matter of time. They’re seemingly everywhere – on party supplies, clothing, jewelry, candy, decals, at ‘stache bashes, in party photo booths, even on cars and baby pacifiers.
A way to really make Slurpees something Ron Swanson would enjoy would be to spike them with a good whiskey, though that might ruin the integrity of the Slurpee.
"They're seemingly everywhere" could also be said of the "hipster" faction. If this is a self-aware jab at them, it's kind of brilliant. If 7-Eleven truly wanted to skewer that demographic, they could have a stack of stickers that bear pretentious statements. That would be perfect.
