When @ 7-Eleven, it's a Slurpee, not a generic, run-of-the-mill "slushy"

But... if you haven't seen one in real life, then I'm guessing that it's most likely due to your location.

I've lived in lots of places. Still yet to see one. OCP is a ruse, perpetuated upon the users of BF.

I myself have sat in sweet repose in front of the Bryn Mawr, PA Starbucks, sipping my Grande Mocha, replendent in my Merlin / DA10 / Pearl Izumi glory. If that ain't OCP, nothing is.
