Shaq-A-Licious XL Gummies Teams Up With 7-Eleven, Inc. To Launch Sour Pineapple Slurpee® Flavor Inspired by Shaquille O’Neal’s Gummies
The Limited-Edition Shaq-A-Licious XL Sour Pineapple Slurpee® Drink Is Available Nationwide Now Through April 29
HERSHEY, Pa., March 20, 2025 — Building on the success of Shaquille O’Neal’s Shaq-A-Licious XL Gummies, the candy brand has partnered with 7-Eleven, Inc. to create something BIG. Introducing the Shaq-A-Licious XL Sour Pineapple Slurpee® drink! Inspired by O’Neal’s fan-favorite Sour Pineapple flavored gummy, this limited-edition Slurpee flavor is available at participating 7-Eleven®, Speedway® and Stripes® stores nationwide now through April 29, 2025.
Whether you need a road trip refreshment or midday pick-me-up, the Slurpee drink is a beloved classic enjoyed across the U.S. Now, it’s getting “Shaq-i-fied” by combining the refreshing, tangy flavor of the Sour Pineapple Slurpee drink with the oversized fun of O’Neal’s Shaq-A-Licious XL Gummies. As the self-proclaimed “biggest kid in the candy store,” Shaq has brought his playful spirit to this one-of-a-kind treat.
Adding to the momentum of Shaq-A-Licious XL Gummies, which launched nationwide last September, the partnership with 7-Eleven continues to expand the Shaq-A-Licious experience. The gummies, known for their big size, bold flavors, and unique shapes, quickly became a hit. Given the popularity of the Sour Pineapple flavor in the XL Gummies, it was an easy decision to make it the star of the new Slurpee flavor. Now, fans of all ages can enjoy this bold, tangy flavor in a refreshing new way.
The Shaq-A-Licious XL gummies come in two varieties: Original, with gummies molded after Shaq’s iconic face in peach, berry punch, and orange flavors, and Sour, featuring playful shapes inspired by his legendary nicknames – Diesel, The Big Cactus, and The Big Shamrock in pineapple, mixed berry, and watermelon flavors. Since launching, the gummies have been flying off shelves everywhere.
Customers at participating locations, including Speedway and Stripes stores, can take advantage of a special promotion: Buy any size Slurpee drink, including the Shaq-A-Licious XL Sour Pineapple Slurpee flavor, and get a 6.2 oz bag of Shaq-A-Licious Gummies for just $2.
