7-Eleven, Inc. is turning the flavour dial to 11 once again by teaming up with Green Day and Punk Bunny to unveil an all-new, exclusive Slurpee® drink flavour: “Kerplunk Kandy Grape.” As an ode to the band’s 1992 album Kerplunk!, this rockin’ new flavour mashes up cotton candy sweetness with juicy grape vibes.

The “Kerplunk Kandy Grape Slurpee” drink is a sweet and slightly twisted treat that tastes just like the cotton candy grapes Green Day keeps as a staple on their backstage riders. Born from the band’s personal snack pile and reborn in frozen form, this isn’t your average frozen treat – it’s a full-on flavour riot. The new flavour is available now for a limited time at participating 7-Eleven®, Speedway®, and Stripes® stores nationwide.

The drinks don’t stop there – after the exclusive debut of “Punk Bunny” at 7-Eleven in 2024, anticipation has been building for the next drop. 7-Eleven and Green Day are rolling out three new exclusive Punk Bunny coffee varieties at participating stores: Mike Dirnt’s “Turn Up the Bass Medium Roast,” “Punk Bunny Cold Brew Caramel Latte,” and “Chocolate Almond Specialty Latte.”

Marissa Jarratt, Executive Vice President, Chief Marketing & Sustainability Officer at 7-Eleven, Inc., states:

“Our first launch with Green Day and Punk Bunny was so exciting for customers because they loved seeing music and coffee culture collide in such a unique way. Now, we’re channelling that same punk spirit into our iconic Slurpee drink. ‘Kerplunk Kandy Grape’ is rooted in the band’s story, and we can’t wait for fans to experience this one-of-a-kind flavour.”

To commemorate the new Slurpee drink flavour, fans can head to select stores to score tune-worthy drink accessories that amp up the cool factor. Fans can score limited-edition collectible cups, along with custom straws featuring built-in Bluetooth speakers – perfect for turning any sip into a jam session. Each collectible cup features a QR code linking to a Spotify playlist specially crafted by Green Day, creating the ultimate sippin’ into summer experience.

“I have great memories of getting Slurpee drinks with my friends. It’s always perfect on a good day or even a bad one. Being able to create our own custom Punk Bunny flavour and bring it to everyone across the country has been an amazing moment.”
