If you're a soda or slushie lover, you might want to make a pit stop at a Kangaroo Express to take advantage of its summer promotion on fountain drinks.
For an initial $6.99 investment in a plastic cup with a domed lid, you can refill it all summer long with sodas and frozen drinks. For free.
I bought two cups this morning at the Kangaroo Express on Highway 55 in Apex, one to fuel my diet soda addiction and another as a summer treat for my slushie-loving teen-age daughter.
The clerks told me they had sold more than 200 cups in less than three hours.
Great marketing on Kangaroo's part. Stop in for your free soda refill and spend $50 to refill the gas tank. Not to mention the lure of all those snacks at the register.
The promotion is good through Sept. 5.
