7-Eleven. In America, it's home of the Slurpee. The Big Gulp, coming in a rainbow of artificial colors. The Big Bite Hot Dog, rotating under a heat lamp. Bright yellow nacho cheese. Rows of chips. Shelves of candy bars. Yesterday, I popped into one by the office. All right, I'm in lower Manhattan and I'm about to go into a 7-Eleven.

Definitely lots of soda and stuff that you'd expect in a normal 7-Eleven. And like these, I don't even know what you call them, like taquitos or something, like crunchy with like cheese or chicken inside. And then you got your big gulp options here. My gosh, the Big Gulp is so big. I decided to pick up a classic Slurpee. I went with Coke-flavored with some cherry mixed in there as well. Wow.

It's really sugary and... Hmm. I mean, it tastes good, I'm not going to lie. But I don't think I could have more than one of these a decade, honestly. But I wasn't at 7-Eleven for culinary reasons. I was there for journalism. Because right now, 7-Eleven is the subject of a major bidding war. A Canadian company really wants to buy it, and they're offering to pay a lot of money for it.
