So what's stopping someone from just getting a REALLY long cup?

ISO standardised cup sizes. Good luck finding a really long cup.

[Anonymous No.6404372]

What about a garbage bag with a plastic hoop 10" across taped to the opening. I don't know what I'd do with several gallons of sugar water though.

Wouldn't it leak, or break as soon as you try to move it?

It's heavy stuff.

[Anonymous No.6404382]

>>6404377
It's $1.49, I'd live. A little leakage would mean I'd be drinking less anyway.

[Anonymous No.6404384]

easy. just get a holding tank with pump and hose with a 10" mouth. feed the tube from your car, to inside the store, to the slurpee machine and enjoy your slurpee

Its a goddamn Slurpee, they have crazy profit margins because its like fractions of pennies to sell each cup worth. Hell, the cup is more expensive than the drink

[Anonymous No.6404707]

I want to fill up something absurdly, rule-breakingly big, but I don't even like slurpee. What would I do with it?

I mean, if you're going to stick your cup in at an angle or something, sure, that's on you, but if you want to actually fill your cup it has to fit into the provided hole. Thus, your cup must be 10" in diameter or less to be used.

[Anonymous No.6405096]

>>6405090
do you know what diameter means?

[Anonymous No.6405098]

>>6405090
His cup can be misshapen, and still fulfill the 10 inch diameter requirement so that he can actually fill it from the sign.

American educations, just wow

Yeah, you could bring a trough to put your slurppe in I guess. That would probably bring about a ton of farm animal jokes, but you could do that.

[Anonymous No.6405106]

I'd use a cup with the bottom cut out.
That way frozen stuff would go everywhere, on my shoes, in the babies mouth etc etc.

It may surprise you, but a lot of cups aren't perfect cylinders.

[Anonymous No.6405134]

>>6405109
I'm aware.

The site states that for cups to be accepted there are rules that the cups must meet.

>No, your "cup" can't be a trash can (too big) or a cowboy boot (too unsanitary) or a baseball cap (too porous.) But most clean, water-tight vessels that are no bigger than 10 inches in diameter meet the requirements. The cups must be able to fit through a the 10-inch diameter hole posted on special, stand-up signs this Saturday by store Slurpee machines. A cup that just fits through the hole could conceivably hold about a gallon of Slurpee – about three times the Slurpee for the price, or roughly 100 extra ounces.

Knowing this, there is probably going to be a whole you hand your cup though to a employee or the employee checks it for approval first. You're not going to be able to walk in with a cup that's 18" long and 6" wide and say you meet the requirements because it's only 6" wide, the cup still has to fit though the 10" hole.

A hose that is connected toa tank will easily fit into it.

You just don't get it. You're thinking too narrowly.

The opening has to be 10 inches in diameter. A section of the cup and the opening must be able to follow through and connect to the tap.

From there, you can do a number of things with the rest of the cup. Most of the designs won't look pretty, but they'll work.

There are probably cups or rather, jug like designs that already fit that description.

You also quoted the relevant text for me.

And they're talking about rationally shaped cups. They haven't even considered absurdly shaped cups like this.

Hot damn that's going to taste like shit.

[Anonymous No.6405219]

>>6405212

if you combine enough slurpee flavors it will just taste sweet and vaguely fruity

I have combined them in such a maneuver before

[Anonymous No.6405221]

>>6405219
Was coke flavor included? Cause I think that would throw off any additional flavor other than cherry.

[Anonymous No.6405230]

>>6405209
Why are they bleeding?

I liked my cup better.

[Anonymous No.6405240]

>>6405221

yeah there was coke in there. it doesn't really come through with all of the other competing flavors other than maybe a very slight bitterness. cherry is definitely the most overpowering flavor

Use a 10" diameter PVC pipe, sealed at one end. The only limiting factor on it's length would be your embarrassment in giving it to the employees to fill.

We have these sorts of promotions at 7/11 in Australia sometimes. Every single time I've gone in to take advantage of it, the slurpee machines are conveniently 'broken'.

[Anonymous No.6406358]

They probably break because they're being used overtime
