Browsing through random Flickr sets early this morning we stumbled upon a few pictures of the new Halo 3 Slurpee cups that are appearing in 7-11 stores right now. These super special Slurpee cups feature lenticular Halo 3 images around the outside of the cup (similar to the Halo 2 promotion done years back) and can be purchased at any 7-11 convenience store for only $1.99 with Slurpee goodness included. Sadly, where we live there are no 7-11s near by, so these pictures will have to suffice. Next on the list of Halo 3 co-brandings to complete is fast food restaurant Burger King. So ... where are our Cortana shaped chicken nuggets?

If the Halo Burger King toys are like the super-deformed Star Wars Episode III line a few years back, sign me up! Those were pretty cool.
Keep us updated if you know of advance warning when to expect the meals, X3F.

The campaign is being run out of 7-11? And Master Chief is John 1-1-7? Coincidence??? I think so!

How strange, because apparently they started off in Dallas. Does anyone know if it has to do with the whole Citgo escapade and their closure of the Houston refinery, which led to the non-renewal of their contract with 7-Eleven? How is Houston not a good market for 7-Eleven stores? SHEESH!

I stopped in Elk Grove Village, IL on Monday and they had the Halo cups available.
Note they're "3D", have have that weird plastic coating on them, and it makes the cups stick to each other like superglue.

they suck, theyre half the size of the Halo2 slurpee cups and the art is no where near as good. if you know the slurpee sizes theyre actually just a little bigger than the smallest or half the size of the biggest one which also happens to be 30 cents cheaper, lol. If anyone needs help getting them because theyre not gonna have them near them feel free to message me and i can help you out providing that you pay for the cups and shipping ;) the running flag master chief cup is the best one, its the one that i picked up last night.~Q

i think the reason why the cups are smaller is because theyre more useful as collectible cups. i find that the bigger size 7-11 cups are too big to use as normal cups at home, but the new smaller size is more manageable.

@15... Yes, the cups are smaller, but a lot better. The paint on the H2 cups flake off and it does not on these. Trust me, I have about a dozen of them.

I picked up all 3 last night...there are half a dozen 7-11's in my area...the one I went to if you look about a mile down the road you can see 2 more [given it's the boardwalk]
They look good...kinda urked they were not as big as the past years but oh well...I think the quality is better...
Plenty of them here...I can pick up any if anyone needs...going to snag a ton of extras for myself anyways...
