The cups will feature a composition of images of fans and also unlock a lens on Snapchat. 7-Eleven said the lens would 鈥済et fans dancing through the decades!鈥�
Customers can also scan their 7-Eleven Day cup to get 1,000 free 7Rewards points. 7Rewards members can spend 1,000 points to pay for a medium Slurpee on their next visit.
