why would you get a slurpee if you want something low calorie, or healthier? These are basically drinks full of sugar and flavouring lol, nothing healthy about that.
The new "lite" slurpee probably tastes terrible without the extra sugar.

Love Slurpees, but hate the calories? We have good news for you. 7-Eleven is rolling out a low-cal line of Slurpees this week, called Slurpee Lite, USA Today reports.
Not surprisingly, the campaign will target females in their 20s -- who are weight-conscious but still youthful enough to crave a Slurpee -- with this tagline: "All flavor. No sugar" (the drink is made with Splenda instead). "We talked to a group who said they would drink Slurpees more often if we take out the sugar and reduce the calories," Laura Gordon, vice president of brand innovation, told USA Today.
But how many calories are you really saving? An 8-ounce Slurpee Lite Fanta Sugar-Free Mango has 20 calories, compared to 66 calories in an 8-ounce Fanta Wild Cherry Slurpee drink, the paper reports. Two other sugar-free flavors, strawberry banana and cherry limeade, will hit stores this summer. We're not really sold on Splenda, but after 45 years, the Slurpee was due for a makeover. And here's the really good news: You can try one for free on May 23.

PS: i didnt mean to get the diet, it was in interesting flavor or so i thought
Aspartame is also bad. It is a neurotoxin and can cause mood swings.
Saccharine causes cancer with long term use.
Seriously, straight-up nasty.
I'd be running for the rest room if I drank this stuff, either to throw up or make an emergency pit stop on the "throne."
