Slurpees May Solve All The Problems
Seven-Eleven is trying to make the "Slurpee Summit" a reality. "USA Today" says the convenience store is making moves to turn a comment in yesterday's presidential press conference into an opportunity to sell some of the frosty drinks. During the press conference, President Obama was asked if he'd have presumptive House Speaker John Boehner over for a Slurpee after commenting during the campaign that Republicans were on the sidelines drinking Slurpees while Democrats tried to get the economy out of the ditch. In a light moment, Obama responded that Slurpees are delicious and that he liked the name "The Slurpee Summit."
"USA Today" says 7-Eleven has contacted the White House to try to cater the summit between key Democrats and Republicans. A 7-Eleven spokeswoman said they can make red and blue Slurpees, or they could even combine them and make purple Slurpees. The convenience store will also publish an ad saying that Slurpees bring people together.
