The countdown is now on for an unprecedented
commercial spaceflight, and you can help decide one of the key factors — or rather, flavors — of the launch.
7-Eleven, the largest and oldest chain of convenience stores, is
sending its iconic Slurpee drink "on a private spaceflight" in celebration of its 94th year in business. The frozen beverage is set to leave Earth this August on a balloon-lofted flight into the stratosphere, departing from a 7-Eleven store in Michigan, the "Slurpee capital of the U.S." (a.k.a. the state that consumes the most Slurpee drinks).
