Thanks for the info! As of mid 2017, it appears 7-Eleven no longer carries
the Dr Pepper slurpee. However, I was able to find a "Dr Pepper Freeze" a
t Casey's General Store (usually attached to a gas station). It was great
(but now I have only the memory :-(). Alas, Casey's appears to only be in
the Midwest.
If anyone knows of any other businesses which are currently carrying an Ice
e-like Dr Pepper product, please post here. Thanks!
