Starting in June, 7-Eleven will introduce a revolution in Slurpee cups with their new dual-chambered design, which keeps the two flavors of your beverage separate until they converge in a special straw.
Needless to say, this will prevent those who like to experiment with weird combined flavors from totally wasting their money when they realize that their concoctions taste like anus.

When humans wanted to have a drink 14,500 years ago, they couldn’t just grab a Dixie cup – so what was the next best solution? Apparently back then it involved fashioning mugs from human skulls. A team led by paleontologist Silvia Bello of the Natural History Museum in London unearthed bones in southwestern England proving to be the oldest known examples of drinking cups or containers.
Bello and her colleagues report in a paper published online Feb. 16 in PLoS ONE. Prehistoric cave denizens cleaned the skulls before using stone tools to shape the upper parts of the brain cases into containers, the researchers say.
Bello suspects that ice age Britons hoisted hollowed-out craniums in rituals of some kind. Other human bones found near the skull cups show signs of flesh and marrow removal, a result either of cannibalism or mortuary practice. The striking similarities between the cave finds and historical examples of drinking cups made out of skulls further support a ritual role for the ice age receptacles, Bello says.
Apparently two French sites also reportedly contained these bizarre mugs, believed to be between 15,000 and 12,000 years old, although they have not been directly dated.
