I found the Oreo Coke Zero Slurpee. And it’s disappointing.

I ducked into the 7-Eleven by our grocery store on Sunday to pick up some wiper fluid and was happy to see that the Coca-Cola Oreo Zero Sugar Slurpee had made its debut at this location.

With this purchase, I’ve collected ’em all. (Pokémon was such a better metaphor for my quest to hunt down all the items under Coke and Oreo’s partnership. Should’ve never gone with the Infinity Gauntlet.)

Where I found it

The Oreo Coke Zero Slurpee is available only at 7-Eleven. If you’ve been buying Slurpees anywhere besides 7-Eleven, I have bad news for you about those Slurpees.

What I paid

This item was just $1. A dollar!

My thoughts

First off, why don’t we buy more Slurpees? Slurpees are awesome. (And apparently super cheap.) I most recently had one on July 11, which 7-Eleven celebrates as their birthday and gives out free Slurpees on. This was also my daughter’s first time having one, and her toddler palate was impressed.

While I don’t think you can go wrong with a Slurpee (I dunno, I guess a milk flavored one would be a miss), the Oreo Coke Zero Slurpee is the weakest link in the trinity of itself, Oreo Coke Zero and Coca-Cola Oreos.

Nothing about this flavor stood out to me. The best I can describe it is as if you took the classic Coke Slurpee flavor — the all-time GOAT of Slurpee flavors — but added artificial sweetener. Not that there’s anything wrong with artificial sweetener (not now, science), but it has to be done correctly. I love Coke Zero. But I didn’t love the aftertaste of the Oreo Coke Zero Slurpee.

When comparing this Slurpee side by side with Oreo Coke Zero, it’s obvious that the Oreo Coke Zero Slurpee doesn’t capture that flavor at all. Not even a hint of chocolate like you get with the soda.

Final verdict: MEH

If you find yourself at a 7-Eleven and you see that they have the Oreo Coke Zero flavor available on the Slurpee machine, give it a try. Especially if you’ve already tried the other items that Coke and Oreo have released. But I wouldn’t spend any time trying to hunt this one down.
