Shaquille O’Neal is a man of many trades. Since the 7-foot-1 basketball center retired from the National Basketball Association (NBA) in 2011, he has secured a large portfolio of business ventures. While O’Neal is known for his partnership with Papa Johns and the XL Shaq-A-Roni pizza, you might be surprised to learn that the basketball champ has ties with several other fast food chains, too.
In 2018, O’Neal founded Big Chicken, a Las Vegas-based restaurant that now has locations all over the U.S. Additionally, he has had stakes in more than 20 other franchises, including Auntie Anne’s, Five Guys, and Krispy Kreme.
In September, O’Neal launched Shaq-A-Licious XL Gummies in stores nationwide and the chewy candy quickly became a hit among fans. Now, playing off of its success, Hershey’s, the company behind the flavor-packed bites, is teaming up with 7-Eleven to launch a brand-new Slurpee inspired by fans’ favorite gummy flavor.
The Shaq-A-Licious XL Sour Pineapple Slurpee
7-Eleven
The Shaq-A-Licious XL Sour Pineapple Slurpee is now available at 7-Eleven stores nationwide. The sweet and tangy refresher features the popular tropical flavor from Shaq’s mega-sized gummies but in a drinkable slush form. From now through April 29, the new flavor will be available at 7-Eleven, Speedway, and Stripes convenience stores.
One Instagram user spotted the vibrant yellow slush at 7-Eleven and immediately had to fill up their cup. “This flavor is FIRE! (And I never use that word for anything!)The pineapple is amazing and the sour level is just right for a frozen drink. This could be my new favorite flavor!” they wrote in the photo’s caption. In a recent YouTube video, another reviewer gave the drink a 9/10 after their first sip—then quickly revised their rating. “A 9.5 because that’s good,” they added after taking a second lengthy sip.
The Shaq-A-Licious XL Sour Pineapple Slurpee is available at participating locations but only for a limited time, so be sure to get your Big Gulp on before it disappears. And if you just can’t get enough of the sour pineapple taste, you can snag a 6.2-ounce bag of Shaq-A-Licious XL Gummies for just $2 when you purchase a Slurpee in any size.
