Ah! Progress! The 7-11 Dual-Chambered Slurpee

Move over internet and The Clapper… for you now have competition as the greatest invention ever. 7-11, the junk food and frozen beverage emporium, has unveiled its Dual-Chambered Straw technology, for Slurpee drinkers who have trouble with commitment.

In the olden days — let’s just call it Before Dual Chamber, or B.D.C. — indecisive Slurpee drinkers were forced to stack multiple flavors, only to enjoy the intended mix in small slivers of overlap. Now behold, two flavors without a hierarchy in sight, enjoyed together… the way nature intended.

Hello, I Like Espresso

Do you like espresso? Well probably not as much as Vincent Lammers, who is responsible for the brilliant animated short Hello, I Like Espresso.

It shows all the different ways of enjoying your shot to the heart — from the familiar ‘doppio’ to the underappreciated ‘flat white’.

Which one gets you going?
