For the 17th year in a row, Manitobans drank more slurpees than anyone in the world. 

They held the title against bigger markets in Detroit and Calgary, according to a release from 7-Eleven. 

Winnipeggers got together at the 7-Eleven at 1184 Portage today (July 11, 2016) to celebrate the achievement with the unveiling of the Slurpee Cup and the world's largest slurpee, weighing in at 711 litres.

They're also giving out free slurpees today, which started at 11 a.m. this morning and runs until 7 p.m. tonight.
