Mtn Dew Solar Flare was introduced last summer as an exclusive – and very popular – Big Gulp^® flavor, and is making its debut in Slurpee-form this year. And Lemonade Slurpee flavor is back by popular demand.

"We are getting into the full swing of Slurpee season as we head into summer," said Laura Gordon, 7-Eleven vice president of marketing and brand innovation. "Summer is all about having fun, hanging out with friends and making memories. And, music is a big part of that. With All Access Chill, we hope to bring Slurpee and music together; and for a lot of lucky winners, create special memories that will last a lifetime."

Music festivals continue to grow in popularity, especially among millennials, according to a number of brand and marketing experts. One in five millennials attended festivals in the past 12 months, and their attendance jumped 28 percent between 2013 and 2014. Besides music, festivals influence fashion, technology, social conversations and pop culture.

"We believe music is a way to connect with this age group on an emotional level. To be relevant, we have to be part of our customers' lives to give them more reasons to love our Slurpee brand and create experiences they can share with their friends," Gordon said. "Our 7Rewards loyalty program through the 7Eleven app makes it easy for them to get more of what they love."

To enter the Slurpee All Access Chill sweepstakes, customers should register with 7-Eleven's mobile app, which creates a unique bar code for each user. Every time any size Slurpee drink is purchased at a 7-Eleven location, the store employee will scan the Slurpee cup and member's bar code, automatically entering them in the sweepstakes and a chance to win music, experiences and other prizes.

Winners will be randomly chosen from the scanned barcodes and alerted via the email they provide when they register. Prizes will be awarded each day and must be claimed within 72 hours of notification. Participation is open only to legal residents of the 50 United States who are 13 years and older as of date of entry. 

Each Slurpee purchase also counts as a punch on 7Rewards and the ongoing Buy 6 Cups-Get the 7^th Cup Free offer on the 7-Eleven app. The app is available for download in the App Store and Google Play.
