11 7-Eleven Controversies Jake Rossen
For nearly a century, convenience store chain 7-Eleven has been quenching consumer thirsts with Big Gulps, Slurpees, and other refreshments.

With that much success comes the occasional hiccup, and not just from one too many Big Gulps. As the world celebrates 7-Eleven Day on July 11, take a look at 11 times the company has served up some controversy.
