Winnipeg: The Slurpee Capital of The World

Tattoos, street names and a deep obsession with 711's sugary ice drink.

In this episode of Canada is Boring, we dive into a frosty phenomenon in the heart of Manitoba: Winnipeg’s unwavering love for Slurpees. Believe it or not, Winnipeg has been crowned the Slurpee Capital of the World—and not just once, but for over 20 consecutive years! Why is this icy drink so beloved in a city that spends much of the year buried in snow? We’ll explore how Winnipeggers manage to guzzle down these frozen treats in record quantities, the quirky culture that surrounds them, and even some fun Slurpee stories and stats that might leave you brain-frozen in amazement.
