ode to the perfect slurpee

yesterday i decided that it had finally gotten hot enough to warrant a slurpee. so i went to the 7-eleven on 3300 south by the REI, which is quite possible the closest one to my house. i had to sample all of the flavors first because some of them were new and sounded a little weird. i finally settled on the classic coke slurpee, and can i tell you, it was perfect. it wasn't too grainy, which is always good. i had just the perfect amount of separation (only an inch or so by the time i was half way done with the 28 ouncer). when it was being dispensed, it had just the right amount of grow to it. if it grows too much, of course you end up with a very airy slurpee and then you have to go through the process of getting rid of the air bubbles before you go so that you can top it off a time or two to make sure you maximize the amount of slurpee you're getting in your cup. if only all slurpees could be so perfect as this one. but i know very well that this was just a lucky break and that i will consume many far inferior slurpees before the end of the summer. i was just really glad that the first one of the season was a perfect one :)
