Trying the Controversial New Mountain Dew Slurpee

In a flash after I filed our story on the latest and quirkiest Slurpee, I spotted the flavor on tap at my nearby Speedway. For you readers, I grabbed a cup and poured myself a frosty mug of… a Mountain Dew cake frozen treat.

This flavor isn’t the sole special addition to the 7-ELEVEN experience ahead of 7/11/26; continue beyond the review to uncover details about a very exclusive Slurpee Date happening at selected stores nationwide. First off, let’s determine if Mountain Dew Cake-Smash deserved revival in Slurpee form.

Evaluation of Mountain Dew Confetti Chill Slurpee

New Mountain Dew Slurpee!

Pros: Curiously enough, it delivers exactly what one would expect from a cake-flavored Mountain Dew-infused Slurpee. Per a recent promotional email, the official flavor description for Mountain Dew Confetti Chill is “birthday cake with a citrus twist, blending bright citrus flavor with notes of sweet vanilla icing for a zesty lemon cake treat in a frozen drink form.” Indeed, this tastes like an electric-green artificial citrus under a thick coating of icing. The Mountain Dew Confetti Chill Slurpee earns points for staying truly faithful to its stated objective.

Cons: But why? What led to this addition? Who requested cake-flavored Slurpees, and why did Mountain Dew answer? I suspect most people above the age of ten won’t be returning for seconds on this flavor. My tip? Try this flavor on 7/11, when you can snag a free small Slurpee simply by walking into your local 7-ELEVEN/Speedway/Stripes location.

What other happenings are planned at 7-ELEVEN on 7/11?

Four stores nationwide are transforming Slurpee Day into the ultimate Slurpee Date. Each site will feature a dedicated “Slurpee Date” photo-op bench, keepsakes to take home, and limited-edition, bedazzled Slurpee “S” double straws inspired by the brand’s diamond anniversary.

As someone living in one of those four locales, it’s a shame I’ll be away when this experience unfolds. I can imagine my partner would be genuinely thrilled to hear “I need to swing by a gas station for work with you.”
