Description from 7-11:
Slurpers! Dust off your bowls, cups and baseball caps. It's BYO Cup Day!

September signals the start of slurping season so for one day, 21 Sept, we are letting you bring in your favourite cup and fill it with Slurpee for only $2.60!

Check the rules over on the BYO Cup page (http://on.fb.me/reKnIb) and check out how you can win a whole year's worth of Slurpee!

It is from the official Slurpee Australia page.

Rules:
Any cup is fair game as long as it fits within 230x260mm. Head into store to test your cup fits.
Unless you enjoy mopping, cups must be watertight with no holes or tears.
Your cup must be clean and free of foreign matter. You don't want to ruin the taste of your Slurpee.
To prevent permanent brain freeze, only one fill up per cup is allowed.

So no point bringing in your fish tanks. :P

      Walked into KFC and asked for a couple of buckets, they asked 'is it for Slurpees?', we say 'no… it's for personal use…', they handed them over! Walked into 7/11, filled it! Not as huge as some of the others out there, but so good!

    But what dimensions are 230x260mm? BxW? What about height?

    • MattyD on 31/08/2011 - 16:03
      +29

      They only specified two dimensions (width and height). I'm going to get creative with depth and time.

      My head fits in a 230x260mm space, and I'm going to stay under it all day.

    • montorola on 21/09/2011 - 09:33

      No pun intended right?

  • ATD on 31/08/2011 - 13:50

    I was thinking lunch-esky. Rules state max size 230x260mm. I'd argue to be measured inside as true capacity.

  • Sage on 31/08/2011 - 14:05

    How does the 230x260mm size limitation compare to the Super/Jumbo Slurpees?

    • issh on 31/08/2011 - 16:10

      seems quite big,
      Not sure if its the breadth x width but for the 3rd dimension it's limitless

      so you can essential create your own cup

  • Dazza102 on 31/08/2011 - 14:12

    I'm trying to work out what they mean by maximum size of 230x260mm…

    do they mean the size of a cylinder?

    Because that works out to be around… 10 litres of slurpee… (almost 11)

    • apu on 31/08/2011 - 14:23
      -5

      milimetres

      • el_cheapo on 31/08/2011 - 14:42

        Who said otherwise?

      • Trojan on 31/08/2011 - 14:46

        He was using mm - If he was using cm, that wont even fit in the back of my car's boot!

    • Trysaeder on 31/08/2011 - 16:23

      They give two dimensions, so it should be cylindrical.
      23 x 26 x pi x pi x 0.5 = 2951 cubic centimetres.

      • issh on 31/08/2011 - 16:44
        +1

        23 x 26 x pi x pi x 0.5 = 2951 cubic centimetres.

        not sure where this equation came from\
        woops now i do 0.5 is to get radius of the cylinder

        use pi x r^2 * h

        which gives
        -If diameter is 26 and height is 23 Volume of 12.21L
        -If diameter is 23 and height is 26 Volume is 10.80L

        • imaximax1 on 21/09/2011 - 20:34

          also, i believe that is a common pot size, just google it. (and plug up the holes)

      • el_cheapo on 31/08/2011 - 16:52
        +3

        That is a funky calc you did there ;P

        Volume of a cylinder = pi * r^2 * l

        • issh on 31/08/2011 - 17:23

          woops edit

        • supersabroso on 31/08/2011 - 17:48

          lolz, good name :P

        • imaximax1 on 21/09/2011 - 20:31

          when did it ever say that it has to be cylindrical? i see it as
          23x23x26

          might as well get the full square, and just says it equiv radius is 230.

      • hellbound on 31/08/2011 - 17:04
        +1

        As per el_cheapo's correct formula,
        Pi * (23/2)^2 *26 = 10.8 litres.
        The bigger question is what easy to find item has these dimensions that we can use?

      • Trysaeder on 31/08/2011 - 21:10

        Holy shit I don't know what I was just on.
        Fumes it seems…of both kinds.

      +2

      Nah, if its cylindrical, you are wasting the dimensions.
      To get the best bargain, it has to be rectangular.

      • ryang on 31/08/2011 - 14:55

          While i did mean to connect the hose to the bottom of the cup, your idea sounds like more fun!

  • arcticmonkey on 31/08/2011 - 18:09

    What if you connect the slurpee nozzle to a hose which leads outside to an esky? Techically, it's staying under the limit!

          WHen I was carrying it out ( like a boss), some school kids gave me a weird look cuz they had just bought three slurpees at full price while I had got more than all of them combined for a lower price.

          Actually the funniest thing was the guy behind the dude with your rig. He had something even bigger and was eating/drinking it using a soup ladle with the store tag still swinging from the handle.

          I'm assuming he picked up shortly after. I can't say what women want, but who wouldn't hit that?

          First they said flat out no. And I said the Facebook page said 25x26cm.

          Then they agreed to let me partially fill it.

          Then whilst I was trying to pull up the rules, he changed again and said I could fill it.

          I mean seriously, is it really worth his time to argue over a couple litres of Slurpee??
