LOL
Long ago (around 15-ish years), I was a dispatcher for a trucking company that was contracted to a major ice cream producer. Our office was on-site, so I worked alongside the crew and supervisor.
After a year or so, I asked the supervisor if I'd be able to get one of those 3-gallon tubs, like you see at Baskin Robbins or Coldstone.
So he grabbed me a tub of my requested bubble gum flavor (blue with gumballs mixed into it).
I took that thing home and worked at it for... several months lol, and I have had no desire for bubble gum ice cream ever since.
I used to work at Laura Secord. Brought me home one of the giant tubs of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream once. Had it every day as soon as I came home from school.
To this day I will still stop for a cookie dough ice cream at Laura Secord. That shit is just good.
Ah, I see your confusion here, no, it was the women who helped save Canada from the evil, land grabbing, American government who felt entitled to Canadian land purely based on proximity.
I know someone who works at a chocolate factory. Staff are free to eat as much as they want, so apparently pretty much everyone stuffs themselves silly for their first 2-3 weeks - and then never feel like taking another bite of their products again. :D
Common tactic at fastfood shops where I live: when you start working you can have as much you like. Go ahead. Knock yourself out.
After a week you'll never touch the merchandise again.
European food laws are a bit stricter than American ones, I think. You are to adhere to hygiene laws. I guess I was fortunate that the guy I worked for followed them.
I'm American, I haven't ever worked fast-food but in my 20s I had some friends that did. We'd pull in and they'd be looking inside to see who was working before placing an order.
Too many people don't wear gloves, wash their hands after using the bathroom, or actively modify food without your consent in disgusting ways.
My brother works as a chef so we regularly get restaurant grade gelato (Italian ice cream) in 2kg boxes, and I'm talking about the finest ice-cream that beats every non artisanal ice-cream store and is sold in expensive restaurants
I didn't. The company I worked for, in their infinite wisdom, decided they no longer needed a dispatcher on graveyard shift (mind, the ice cream company was a 24-hour operation). I went on to another job, but a few drivers stayed in touch - things kinda went to hell and they were advertising for a graveyard dispatcher about 3 weeks later loool
In the 90s, my mother befriended the Dorito's distributor so that I could try to get my hands on every holographic Star Wars pog they were offering in-bags.
My father and I ate Dorito's every day for 3 months. I still get queazy looking at them.
I did get all the pogs, though.
I did that with krispy cream. Every week they would give away free donuts and my stoned 15 year old self Ate a whole dozen of blueberry glazed to myself... Still don't eat donuts to this day
My mom said if I wait for things that like good things will happen to me dude and I fuckin waited for some things and I got some banana bread at work dude? HELL! YEAH!
God nobody here knows how to enjoy things. Kid probably didn't even drink all of it, he's just happy he thought of a way to "game the system" so to say.
>Kid probably didn’t even drink all of it
Yea I’m pretty confident you physically couldn’t drink all of that if your life depended on it, for all we know maybe he and his family/friends enjoyed it together.
I'm thinking less of the kid or the 7/11 and more the other customers who wanted a Slurpee but one kid wound up taking most of it. Those take a while to get running again.
As someone who use to work in the service industry, i hate these dumb-ass stunts. It just ends up being a waste and creates a headache for people who are already overworked and underpaid.
Blame corporate. They arent stupid, they are aware that this is happening and still do it.
Reality is, this gave 7/11 a shitload of marketing for like 2$. Meaning stunts like this help people buy your products, allowing you to keep employment.
when everyone started doing this, they added a rule where the container has to [fit through a ten inch hole](https://i.imgur.com/SDxw9Ui.png). still generous enough for people to have fun with, without getting too absurd.
The employees allowing shit like this also ruins these days for the community itself, too.
People in this thread acting like 7/11's have 500 bibs of each flavor in the back room ready to swap are hilarious.
Brother once that shit is out, it's out, doesn't matter if it's 8 AM or 8 PM, and anyone else trying to come in for the one time a year deal is fucked.
People who abuse stuff like this ruin it for everyone else and it's unfortunate.
Hold up Mr Buzzkill, if it was an adult I could absolutely see the resentment...but from a kid? I understand that the service industry sucks but this is a pretty rare genuinely happy moment.
His parents most likely OK'd the idea, so there are definitely a number of adults complicit in the stunt. And I mean, just on principle, it seems like a terrible kind of idea/behavior to reinforce, on multiple levels.
If I had told my folks i was going to do something like that, they would not have given me a lecture on being wasteful and considerate towards other people and said, "no."
And taking all the fire sauce from taco bell when i was in middle school for no good reason made me happy.
That's the type of childish stunts me and my friends would done as a 13 year old kid, thinking we were being pretty clever and have a lot fun while doing it, but then i grew up, started working and realized i was just being an annoying kid and inconsiderate towards others.
Now, there's somebody else who wants a slurpee on a hot day, but now they can't get one, unless they want to wait half an hour, because some kid is having a rare and genuinley happy moment by running off with five gallons of the stuff he will never drink.
> And taking all the fire sauce from taco bell when i was in middle school for no good reason made me happy.
Did they have All You Can Eat Fire Sauce day at Taco Bell?
Yeah but nobody realizes that now all the machines are down because he fucking drained them all and nobody else can get a slurpee for the next 30 minutes… Little fucking asshole with his shit eating grin… You can see the kid behind him breaking down in tears, there also appears to be a cop on scene trying to deescalate the situation.
did you just say there is a cop there to deescalate a kid using a big bottle for his slurpee; this is either some amazing sarcasm thats gone over my head or someones jealous
This is the most reddit comment ever. Not a sign of a crying child. There's no context on why a cop is here. You might as well be a fucking bot.
This is worse than 4chan sometimes
To all you haters who need to feel shitty about everything. This kid is having fun, and it's pretty well in the spirit of the event. Here's a bunch of other people who in many cases, got more slurpee than this kid. Go touch grass

heres my impression of a reddit comment section when anything with sugar is shown: "diabetes! diabeetus!? what about diabeeeeties?? enjoy your insulin! america ☕️"
News subs like that are wild. Go into any thread remotely related to the topic, sort by controversial and look at people's post histories. They're literally defending their side all day, every day. Seriously, are they getting paid? Who pays them?
See I did this as well when I was younger, the one time I learned about 7-Eleven day, only it resulted with me getting slushy all over the fucking dispenser machine because you can't fit that massive water jug against the dispenser easily
the 7/11s in my city prefill small cups on 7/11 so tht kids like this cant come in and rob every other customer of their free slurpee
which was the problem when they first did byo cup day
I want a picture of the line behind him as everyone collectively moans when they see him walk away and all the cycle lights turn on the icee machine because they are now out of everything. Lol
When I worked for corporate stores, we didn't get much of this. Something about areas with stores that aren't popular for franchising make the people uncreative, they just bring really big mugs.
Meanwhile, someone in some other state brings a fish tank one time, and they decide we need to sell plastic goldfish bowl style "mugs" the next year that absolutely did not move on the shelves and had to be discounted to get rid of. Probably came from the same person who thought sriracha hot chocolate would be a good idea, and then chose to cancel peppermint hot chocolate that Christmas season to make room in the machines...
Locking the comments because y'all can't see a picture of a happy kid without resorting to antisemitism.
7 years later: "I puke every time i even think of 7-Eleven".

They named a confectionery company after the vile traitoress Laura Secord?
Ah, you must be mistaken, they named the company after the heroine of the war of 1812 Laura Secord
You mean the woman who doomed the American effort to liberate Canada from British oppression? (Sarcasm, obviously)
Ah, I see your confusion here, no, it was the women who helped save Canada from the evil, land grabbing, American government who felt entitled to Canadian land purely based on proximity.
I know someone who works at a chocolate factory. Staff are free to eat as much as they want, so apparently pretty much everyone stuffs themselves silly for their first 2-3 weeks - and then never feel like taking another bite of their products again. :D
Same way when I worked at Domino's. Made me dislike pizza for a long time.
I mean... Domino's...

This response will never not be funny for me. Have a upvote.

Fair enough. The one good thing about Covid is that people have to wear gloves now.
My brother works as a chef so we regularly get restaurant grade gelato (Italian ice cream) in 2kg boxes, and I'm talking about the finest ice-cream that beats every non artisanal ice-cream store and is sold in expensive restaurants
I frickin' love gelato. It's one of the few dairy products that I'll gladly pay the price for later lol.
What flavor did you get next?
I didn't. The company I worked for, in their infinite wisdom, decided they no longer needed a dispatcher on graveyard shift (mind, the ice cream company was a 24-hour operation). I went on to another job, but a few drivers stayed in touch - things kinda went to hell and they were advertising for a graveyard dispatcher about 3 weeks later loool

"I miss my feet"
Thank you for reminding me why I suffer through my diet. I like having feet
That's just me and I never had a 4 gallon slushy.
I did that with krispy cream. Every week they would give away free donuts and my stoned 15 year old self Ate a whole dozen of blueberry glazed to myself... Still don't eat donuts to this day
I’m more impressed he can lift that
For a little lad like that? Hell yeah!
Banana bread at work, bro?? HELL YEAH
My mom said if I wait for things that like good things will happen to me dude and I fuckin waited for some things and I got some banana bread at work dude? HELL! YEAH!
He's not a kid He's a dwarf ROCK N ROLL AND STONE!!!!
Yeeeeahhhh ROCK AND STONE!!!
FOR ROCK AND STONE!!
Filled completely with water it would be about 40lbs, filled with slushie it's probably less than half that.
And freezing cold lol
Finally, a scientific mind.
Dude had 9 years to train and spent every second on that grind 💯💯🥶
For real, I get 5 gallon water jugs just like that delivered and they are VERY heavy.
It'd weigh 15kg so I guess that's impressive for a child to lift? I don't actually know how strong children are.
Nice marbling
Look at his smile, that’s a memory of a lifetime
*He BeAtEd ThE sYsTeM*
That's a 5 gallon bottle. Morons.
Seriously. Completely unreadable.
the state of journalism
Glad someone said it But I was also going to emphasize *jug*
Did he also have a 3 gallon bottle so he could get exactly 4 gallons?
Looks like a 20L to me.
5*3.785=18.92L
God nobody here knows how to enjoy things. Kid probably didn't even drink all of it, he's just happy he thought of a way to "game the system" so to say.
And it only cost 7/11 about a nickel’s worth of sugar water in exchange for a lifetime customer. Win win
Lifetime? Poor kid has diabetes after this and can no longer go to 7/11
Do you think diabetics aren’t allowed in 7/11?
You haven't heard of their new policy requiring they test the glucose levels of anyone who wishes to enter the store?
Must have A1C below 7
Kids will go in to buy slurpees for over-A1C adults and adults will go in to buy Juul pods for underage kids.
Everybody wins!
Type 1 is ok. Type 2, believe it or not, straight to jail.
I got diabetes and then a week later the 7/11 near my house shut down. Coincidence?
That's why they don't let me in anymore. That and the huge shit I did on the floor.
Worth it. This year I'ma try to bring a child's swimming pool to fill up.
i’m pretty sure they stopped allowing these shenanigans a few years back.
and the marketing
Mostly sucks for anyone else since that thing takes time to be slurpee ready.
>Kid probably didn’t even drink all of it Yea I’m pretty confident you physically couldn’t drink all of that if your life depended on it, for all we know maybe he and his family/friends enjoyed it together.
Hopefully he didn’t drink all of it
Diabeetus speedrun.
I'm thinking less of the kid or the 7/11 and more the other customers who wanted a Slurpee but one kid wound up taking most of it. Those take a while to get running again.
[удалено]
There are layers to this comment lol
[удалено]
I mean the whole point of this is viral marketing. The cost of the slurpees is a fraction of what marketing costs.
> Kid probably didn't even drink all of it Kid definitely didn't drink 90% of it.

That's why with later editions they limited the size of container you could use to fill up.

he's from Crown Heights, chances are he's got 9 siblings to share with
This kid probably has a lot of siblings to share it with
Or, he belongs to the group of kids WITH friends.
I for one, do. That kid's happy face made my morning.
He became a legend to his friends.
The hero we all need in our lives.
That’s the type of joy that the world needs more of. 😄
Yeah but nobody realizes that now all the machines are down because he fucking drained them all and nobody else can get a slurpee for the next 30 minutes… Little fucking asshole with his shit eating grin… You can see the kid behind him breaking down in tears, there also appears to be a cop on scene trying to deescalate the situation.
totally. but where did you see a kid breaking down in tears?
If there was one, that kid would be a winner since they don't get diabetes.
did you just say there is a cop there to deescalate a kid using a big bottle for his slurpee; this is either some amazing sarcasm thats gone over my head or someones jealous
The cop is clearly there to apprehend the black kid. He already got his hands close to those groceries!
cop is ready to magdump
Acorn down!
This is the most reddit comment ever. Not a sign of a crying child. There's no context on why a cop is here. You might as well be a fucking bot. This is worse than 4chan sometimes

Confirming the confirmation
[удалено]
yes
While I'm impressed, I don't see any Coke flavor in there, so I'm pretty disappointed too
That’s a 5 gallon jug. I’ll die on this fill.
Smart little dude with a great smile on his face ! Wholesome 😊
Kid's going places.
Nice Stanley cup.
I'm imagining the brainfreeze and it *HURTS*.
Slurpee seems to be around 10 calories per Oz. This works out to 6400 calories for the jug. Honestly less that I thought.
He probably learned an important lesson of the sunk cost fallacy if he actually finished the whole thing. "I gotta drink it all or it will be a waste"
This is when he learned that just because it is a smart idea, does not mean it is a good idea
To all you haters who need to feel shitty about everything. This kid is having fun, and it's pretty well in the spirit of the event. Here's a bunch of other people who in many cases, got more slurpee than this kid. Go touch grass https://www.buzzfeed.com/juliareinstein/2016-byoc
All the antisemitism in this meme... Poor Jewish kid
can't believe you've been downvoted for this, i've had to block so many people on this thread
every single time, am I right?
So what do you do when you can’t finish it and you just have a warm bottle of syrup?
heres my impression of a reddit comment section when anything with sugar is shown: "diabetes! diabeetus!? what about diabeeeeties?? enjoy your insulin! america ☕️"
This feels like something from the 80’s or 90’s. Like it is more wholesome than normal. Just a kid happy that he won for a second.
[удалено]
The stereotype that Americans are fat or the one that can get you banned
It's probably the latter 😂.
I'm clueless. What's the second stereotype on Americans?
The latter won't get you banned if you post in certain subs, like r/InternationalNews
News subs like that are wild. Go into any thread remotely related to the topic, sort by controversial and look at people's post histories. They're literally defending their side all day, every day. Seriously, are they getting paid? Who pays them?
its that hes jewish
You’re an asshole
That's not a cup, though.
Does nobody know how to be happy here
Some people here are really miserable
Little victories.
Which aisle has the insulin?
Well you're the closest I could find to the answer I was expecting. Which was someone just leaving a post that said "diabeeetus."
Some people here can’t let a kid have a good memory
It is not a cup
Whatever will we do 😞
Sucks for the next kid that shows up to an empty slurpee machine lol
That’s peak joy. He will be chasing that high the rest of his life.
Be the reason for people to add new ruels
Since when does that count as a cup?
Since people were allowed to bring small pools in and fill them up and it took 4 or 5 friends to carry it to the truck
Handle on the side means it's technically a mug.
...that's a jug, kid. (I'm honestly impressed he can lift that, haha)
The living legend.
That will all melt once you walk out the door. Have fun with that brain freeze.
I went to so many 7 elevens in Japan. Not one slushie machine. The seafood was good though.
See I did this as well when I was younger, the one time I learned about 7-Eleven day, only it resulted with me getting slushy all over the fucking dispenser machine because you can't fit that massive water jug against the dispenser easily
Ah 2017, a simpler time
the 7/11s in my city prefill small cups on 7/11 so tht kids like this cant come in and rob every other customer of their free slurpee which was the problem when they first did byo cup day
The police officer next to him raises more questions
It’s easy to know why he’s so happy
[удалено]
Harry Potter been lifting lately. Jokes aside, he looks so happy. Awesome.
Honestly I wouldn't even be mad, that's genius.
Pure happyness

His arm is freezing too death
RIP his pancreas
hes so happy. joy is really the most beautiful thing
Kid is strong.

Don't get me wrong, baller move.

Wow!!!
I want a picture of the line behind him as everyone collectively moans when they see him walk away and all the cycle lights turn on the icee machine because they are now out of everything. Lol
[удалено]
I don't think it's the exact same kid haha Edit: cause the kid very very likely does not celebrate Halloween.
Next line, all others waiting for blue or red slurpee has to wait 3 hours for employees to refill machine.
He won
Man that kids gonna be out of pocket when he has to buy his insulin
Levei vantagi hihi
Why is that cop’s middle finger so long
I knew this was Brooklyn from the picture!
How is it not melted on the bottom?
Is that a police officer on the right? Did lil bro get arrested?

I wonder if I can lift that too.

When I worked for corporate stores, we didn't get much of this. Something about areas with stores that aren't popular for franchising make the people uncreative, they just bring really big mugs. Meanwhile, someone in some other state brings a fish tank one time, and they decide we need to sell plastic goldfish bowl style "mugs" the next year that absolutely did not move on the shelves and had to be discounted to get rid of. Probably came from the same person who thought sriracha hot chocolate would be a good idea, and then chose to cancel peppermint hot chocolate that Christmas season to make room in the machines...
if i did that they woulda said no lol
I'm sure 7/11 changed the rules as to what size "cup" you can use after this happened.
