Being that it’s the middle of summer in my hemisphere, after a hard days work in the yard a nice cold frozen drink is always well received. Recently the pricing war between McDonalds, Hungry Jacks and the old-faithful 7-11 has led us to an over-supply and low prices of frozen drinks. All that’s lovely for consumers, and if you’re keenly interested in the zilch-sugar (sugar-free) options then 7-11 is the way to go (or if large amounts of sugar don’t worry you, I still think 7-11’s Slurpees have more/nicer syrups)
They offer three primary sizes, but if you actually measure the cost per volume it shows how 7-11 are making their money: they want you to upgrade to the bigger drink.
Name | Size (mL) | Cost | Cost/L |
---|---|---|---|
Large | 650 | $1 | $1.53 |
Super | 850 | $2 | $2.35 |
Mega | 1150 | $3 | $2.60 |
Based on the above therefore I’d suggest that if you’re REALLY thirsty, getting x2 Large drinks is the clear winner. Otherwise stick to the $1 size and save your money.
Oh yeah, and don’t drink it too quickly either…
