11m big slurpee
10 January 2009, 02:45
so you know how we australians have a love for all those giant replicas like the Big Pineapple, Big Banana, Big Prawn and the Big Oyster? guess what’s at Coffs Harbour now…
THE BIG SLURPEE!!! bwhahaha that’s right! an 11m high, 6m wide replica of 7-11’s most popular drink has arrived at Coffs Harbour Showground until 3rd march ’09. the Big Slurpee will only be at coffs for a limited time to promote the new 1.2L Slurpees. apparently if you were to pour the Big Slurpee from a Slurpee machine it would take up to 8 months to fill and would take a grown man 14 years to drink… wow id love the challenge!
the website even has photos of the Big Slurpee being dismantled from its birthplace in melbourne and making the trek to coffs!
hee look at them swirls! admission to the Big Slurpee is free but like i dunno if there’s anything to see inside the slurpee or even if they even sell slurpees there. i would hope so tho heh anyone want to go on a road trip?!
images used are screenshots from the big slurpee website

lol! i wonder if there’s a strategic far-away-enough spot you could stand so it would look like you were actually sipping from the straw :)
— Helen Jan 10, 05:42 PM #Is the slurpee here at any 7-11?
— Nat Jan 11, 05:19 PM #Doesn’t Coffs already have the big banana? 1.2L is a LOT of fluid lol
— Miss Honey Jan 11, 07:14 PM #Hee hee that is awesome ^^! They should turn it into a giant surplee machine! Whheeeee

— melissa Jun 6, 11:24 PM #Interesting article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a perfect way of presentation.
— Term papers Feb 2, 11:29 PM #I am at coffs right now and I went to the showground and it wasn’t there.so this is why I am saying this where is the big slurpee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
— Ryan Apr 3, 06:46 PM #I really appreciate this wonderful post that you have provided for us. I assure this would be beneficial for most of the people.
— Buy Essay Nov 22, 10:14 PM #The big things have become something of a cult phenomenon, and are sometimes used as an excuse for a road trip, where many or all Big Things are visited and used as a backdrop to a group photograph. Many of the big things are considered works of folk art and are being heritage-listed.
