Inspired by [Trolli Spicy Crawlers candy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trolli-gummi-pops), the limited-edition drink combines tropical mango sweetness, tangy candy notes, and a spicy finish, bringing contrasting flavors to the [familiar frozen beverage format](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/replenish-slurpee-mixup-cherry-blue-raspberry). The new Slurpee transforms the candy's distinctive [sweet, sour, and spicy profile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trolli-x-mountain-dew) into an icy refreshment. Available at participating 7-Eleven, Speedway, and Stripes locations nationwide, the drink launched on October 28, 2026, and will remain available through January 5, 2027. It also marks the final addition to 7-Eleven's Slurpee flavor lineup for 2026. For 7-Eleven, partnering with an established candy brand creates opportunities to attract adventurous consumers seeking unusual flavor experiences. The exclusive, limited-time offering could encourage trial purchases while strengthening interest in the Slurpee beverage range.
