7-Eleven has teamed up with Green Day and Punk Bunny to unveil an all-new Slurpee drink flavor: Kerplunk Kandy Grape. As an ode to the band’s 1992 album “Kerplunk!”, the new offering features cotton candy and grape flavors.
The new flavor is available now for a limited time at participating 7-Eleven, Speedway and Stripes stores nationwide.
Additionally, 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.
“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,” said Marissa Jarratt, executive vice president, chief marketing and sustainability officer at 7-Eleven, Inc. “Now, we’re channeling 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 flavor.”
In-stores, customers can score limited-edition collectible cups, along with custom straws featuring built-in Bluetooth speakers. Each collectible cup features a QR code linking to a Spotify playlist specially crafted by Green Day.
“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 flavor and bring it to everyone across the country has been an amazing moment,” said Billie Joe Armstrong.
In honor of Green Day’s legacy in Hollywood, fans in Los Angeles who purchase the Kerplunk Kandy Grape Slurpee drink can use their cup or receipt as a ticket to visit the Kerplunk Kandy Speakeasy — an exclusive 7-Eleven x Punk Bunny pop-up experience taking place on Saturday, May 3 and Sunday, May 4 from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. at 6501 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles.
