Shaquille O’Neal is putting a “Shaq-i-fied” twist on the classic Slurpee!
According to a press release on Tuesday, March 18, the 53-year-old basketball legend had partnered with 7-Eleven to develop a Shaq-A-Licious XL Sour Pineapple Slurpee, which is inspired by a fan-favorite flavor of his Shaq-A-Licious XL Gummies.
The new drink, created in collaboration with the self-described “biggest kid in the candy store,” is available at select 7-Eleven, Speedway and Stripes stores through April 29, 2025.
O’Neal launched his Shaq-A-Licious XL Gummies in the fall of 2024. They are available to try “in most of your favorite stores,” according to the brand’s website.
The sweet treats feature unique shapes, with some of the gummies being replicas of the professional athlete’s head. Other flavors include peach, berry punch, orange, mixed berry and watermelon.
Anyone who wants to pick up a bag is in luck — 7-Eleven is selling a 6.2 oz bag of Shaq-A-Licious Gummies for just $2 if you purchase the limited-edition Slurpee flavor.

This is not the first time that 7-Eleven has partnered with celebrities for a project. In August 2024, the members of Green Day teamed up with the store to create an Anniversary Blend of their Punk Bunny Coffee.
It’s also not their first unique Slurpee flavor; last fall, the brand dropped a very limited release of a pumpkin spice-flavored twist on the beverage.
O’Neal is no stranger to collaborations with tasty brands. In December 2024 he partnered with Pepsi to film a commercial promoting the brand’s Pepsi Zero Sugar Gingerbread Mini Cans with a commercial seemingly inspired by The Great British Baking Show.
“Man, it was fun shooting,” he told PEOPLE about the project at the time. “I had fun with the people there, and got us in the holiday spirit.”
