7-Eleven and Blue Diamond have partnered to release Cherry Slurpee-flavored almonds, according to a press release.
“At 7-Eleven, we’re always looking for new ways to bring fun, unexpected flavor experiences to our customers,” said Randy Quinn, senior vice president, merchandising (vault and proprietary beverage) at 7-Eleven Inc. “Cherry has long been one of our most beloved Slurpee drink flavors, and seeing it reimagined in a whole new format is a great way to extend that summertime nostalgia beyond the cup.”
Maya Erwin, vice president of marketing & innovation at Blue Diamond, added: “Cherry is an iconic summer flavor, so it immediately came to our attention when ideating, and what encapsulates that more than the sweet and refreshing Cherry Slurpee drink. Bringing this flavor to our protein packed almonds makes it the perfect snack for the flavors you crave in the warmer months, while delivering on our desire to provide consumers with new and exciting flavors.”
Blue Diamond Cherry Slurpee Almonds are now available for a limited time at participating 7-Eleven, Speedway and Stripes locations nationwide in 1.5-ounce snack tubes.
Earlier this month, 7-Eleven released an exclusive Slurpee flavor with band Green Day and Punk Bunny: Kerplunk Kandy Grape. “As an ode to the band’s 1992 album ‘Kerplunk!’, this rockin’ new flavor mashes up cotton candy sweetness with juicy grape vibes,” 7-Eleven said.
The retailer described the Kerplunk Kandy Grape Slurpee drink as “a sweet and slightly twisted treat that tastes just like the cotton candy grapes Green Day keeps as a staple on their backstage riders.” The flavor is available for a limited time at participating 7-Eleven, Speedway and Stripes stores nationwide.
7 Eleven also updated its 7-Eleven Gold Pass subscription program this month, which includes seven free drinks per month of any size coffee, Big Gulp or Slurpee drink.
