Slurpee

Icy convenience drink

Slurpee is a brand name for a frozen carbonated beverage sold at 7-Eleven convenience stores—flavored ice in slushie form, drunk through a straw.

The name evokes the slurping sound of sipping thick liquid.

Like kleenex or band-aid, it sometimes serves as a generic term for any frozen drink of this type: We stopped for Slurpees on the way home.
