To create the perfect Slurpee drink pairing, 7-Eleven is also launching bold snacks, including three unique pretzel varieties from its 7-Select private label line. These new pretzels were created to be a unique mix of mini twists and rods, blended and spiced in mouthwatering flavors, including:

• Dill Pickle: A combination of tangy vinegar with real dill seasonings.
• Buffalo: The authentic taste of buffalo without the mess, offering a great gourmet taste and a satisfying spicy crunch.
• Cinnamon Sugar: A sweet take on pretzels — a combination of sugar, spice and everything nice.

"These new limited-edition Slurpee drink flavors are the perfect beverage to quench your way through the summer heat," said Dennis Phelps, 7-Eleven's senior vice president merchandising, vault and proprietary beverages. "Whether it's a Hibiscus Lemonade paired with Cinnamon Sugar Pretzels or the Summertime Citrus with the Dill Pickle Pretzels, these flavors are as bold and unique as they are delicious!"
