Brain Freeze!

Slurpee celebrates 40 years of 'brain freeze'

By Theresa Howard, USA TODAY

Long before smoothies and Frappuccinos there was the Slurpee. The slushy, colorful 7-Eleven brand - and American icon - turns 40 today and is still popular for the same reasons it caught on back then: fun, variety, "brain freeze" and colored tongues.

Slurpees are one of the single greatest inventions of mankind.

GS, you should challenge everyone who reads this post to go out today and buy a Slurpee!

I'm doing it.

Maybe MJ Rose can turn this into a book promotion of some kind?

Forty? So I'm older than slurpees? Ouch.
