Beyond the drinks, expect discounts on 7‑Eleven merch and other in-store surprises. But fair warning: though stores rarely run out of Slurpees, it's happened before—so plan to get there early. And if you're feeling extra lucky, check out the 7-Eleven and Speedway apps on Slurpee Day for a chance to win a $5,000 prize giveaway.

Stranger Things actor announces engagement to longtime partner

Stranger Things star Mason Dye has revealed that he secretly proposed to his girlfriend, Carmen Joiner. The actor, 31, is best known for starring in the hit Netflix sci-fi series as Jason Carver, Chrissy Cunningham's (Grace Van Dien) boyfriend, who became convinced Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) killed her during the fourth season of the show. After four years of dating, Joiner said he had popped the question, and they planned to tie the knot on June 7 next year to mark their fifth anniversary. 'Valentine's Day felt way too obvious, so it completely went over my head,' She recalled. 'He had the whole evening planned, including fake dinner reservations at one of our favorite restaurants to throw me off.' After the proposal, Joiner said her beau surprised her with a star at North Georgia's Chateau Elan, where they celebrated together before returning home to yet another shock. She continued to People: 'When we got home, our family, friends, and our cat Willow were waiting with a party to celebrate! Mason's parents added to the surprise and even drove in from Oklahoma to make everything that much more special.' Wedding planning is well underway, with the lovebirds set to tie the knot at Wychmere Beach Club in Cape Cod, MA. 'When we started planning the wedding, we knew we wanted a destination in a fun place since our friends and family were from all over the states,' she said. 'We also wanted something that felt coastal and romantic, something on the water, and somewhere all of our friends and family would be excited to visit. Cape Cod checked all the boxes.' It comes ahead of the fifth and final series of Stranger Things, which is set to begin on the streamer on November 26. Dye presumably won't be returning to the series for its grand finale, seeing as his character was killed off in season four.

It has been announced that the fifth and final series of Stranger Things will be released in three parts: Volume 1 – November 26 Volume 2 – December 25 Volume 3 – December 31 Each of the volumes will drop in the United Kingdom at 1am GMT. Tudum confirmed the cast for season five includes: Winona Ryder (Joyce Byers) David Harbour (Jim Hopper) Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven) Finn Wolfhard (Mike Wheeler) Gaten Matarazzo (Dustin Henderson) Caleb McLaughlin (Lucas Sinclair) Noah Schnapp (Will Byers) Sadie Sink (Max Mayfield) Natalia Dyer (Nancy Wheeler) Charlie Heaton (Jonathan Byers) Joe Keery (Steve Harrington) Maya Hawke (Robin Buckley) Priah Ferguson (Erica Sinclair) Brett Gelman (Murray) Jamie Campbell Bower (Vecna) Cara Buono (Karen Wheeler) Amybeth McNulty (Vickie) Nell Fisher (Holly Wheeler) Jake Connelly (Derek Turnbow) Alex Breaux (Lt. Akers) Linda Hamilton (Dr. Kay) An official plot synopsis reads: 'The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. 'Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. 'As the anniversary of Will's disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. 'The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they've faced before. To end this nightmare, they'll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.' Familiar Hawkins faces that will feature in the new episodes include Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, and Sadie Sink. Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Joe Keery, and Maya Hawke also reprise their roles. More Trending At the end of season four, Max's (Sink) life was left hanging in the balance, comatose in a hospital after being attacked by Vecna (Jamie Campbell-Bower). Things also didn't look good as Vecna's plan came to fruition, and the Upside Down was unleashed onto Hawkins. The season ended with an earthquake that tore the town apart, and the Upside Down leaked into Hawkins. The series is set to be released in November, with more episodes expected to be staggered in their release and follow in the weeks after. The first of the three releases will be on November 26, with the second taking place on December 25, and the final episodes released on December 31.

All spoilers for Coronation Street next week as missing child causes panic

Romance is the word on Coronation Street next week as our favourite characters face proposal preparations, steamy affairs and unexpected reunions. Of course, not everything is a bed of roses, with divorce drama rocking one family and the horror of a missing child devastating another. On top of all that, the local teens are causing yet more chaos with their pranks, but the repercussions could be further reaching than they expect. With all that and more to sink your teeth into, here is our handy guide to next week's Corrie spoilers. Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) is devastated when Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) shows him a photo of his family on a leaflet promoting 'Traditional Family Values' at Noah's church. He stands Todd up for a lunch date and, in a fit of rage, trashes the builder's yard. When Gary Windass (Mikey North) returns and is horrified by what he sees, how will he react? Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney) finds a desolate Aadi Alahan (Adam Hussain) on the bench in Victoria Garden. She pulls him in for a hug and assures him that he's a lovely guy and she knows he never meant to harm Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton). At No.1, Aadi confesses to Amy that he wishes they were more than friends. Amy admits that she feels the same and they kiss passionately. Having slept together, Aadi and Amy head back towards No.7 when Jess approaches and tells Aadi that she's taking him in for questioning. Carla Connor (Alison King) and Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers) attend a life drawing class together but the evening is brought to a halt when Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) calls with another drama. At the factory, Betsy reluctantly shows Carla the vest tops she's been working on and how she inadvertently printed the wrong logo on them. How will Carla react? At No.6, Carla confides in Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) that she's going to propose to Lisa. Ryan's thrilled. Steve McDonald (Simon Gregsoon) calls at the flower shop with Cassie Plummer (Claire Sweeney) in tow and reveals that his solicitor has received a copy of the Preston Petals valuation and he wants what's rightfully his. Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) is fuming and is certain Amy is behind the email. At No.1, Steve packs his bag and announces that he's moving out until the divorce comes through as he's sick of the infighting. George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) shows Glenda Shuttleworth (Jodie Prenger) his new clothes and sheepishly admits he's agreed to a date with a lady called Samantha. How will it go? Samantha and Glenda are taken aback to recognise each other from primary school and as they excitedly pull each other in for a hug, George is forced to take a back seat. Theo pleads with Gary to stay away from Noah as he doesn't want anything to jeopardise him getting access to his kids. However, Gary won't be deterred and calls at the community centre intent on confronting Noah. Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) is bemused when she sees on her tracker that Gary is at the community centre and decides to go and look for him. Will she get there in time? Having received a text from Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard), Abi Webster (Sally Carman) feigns a migraine and tells Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) she needs to go home. At No.13, her guilt gets the better of her so Carl suggests they go for a drive. In the precinct, Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) spots Carl in his car. Carl quickly jumps out and heads over while Abi sinks down in the passenger seat. Has Tyrone seen her? Fiz Stape (Jennie McAlpine) finds it hard to hide her annoyance when Tyrone says Steve can move in with Cassie. Meanwhile Tyrone is less than impressed when Fiz says that Hope Stape (Isabella Flanagan) can go to a local festival with Jack Webster (Kyran Bowes). Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) tries to persuade Dev Alahan (Jimmi Harkishin) to give Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) a job at the shop. When Aadi realises what is going on he drops Brody in it and reveals that Brody was the one who brought the drugs to the party. At No.7, Bernie tells Dev that they should postpone their honeymoon and he should use the time to build bridges with Aadi. Dev agrees but insists that Bernie must go alone as the rest will do her good. Bernie kisses him tenderly. Carla checks the post and confides in Ryan that she's waiting for an engagement ring. Lisa wonders what they're whispering about. Lisa shows Carla a jewellery website and reveals her plan to have a ring made for Betsy's 18th birthday incorporating Becky's fingerprints. Steve settles himself down in front of the telly and promises to keep an eye on Dorin Pop. At the garage, Cassie teases Tyrone over Hope's photo of his bum. Abi panics when Kevin asks to see the photo and suggests that Tyrone should return the phone to Hope. Tyrone agrees to return Hope's phone and let her attend the gig with Jack if she deletes the picture of his bum crack. When Hope announces that she is still going to post the pic on her social media, Abi tells Carl to go to No.9 and find the phone before Hope gets it. Meanwhile Steve wakes up and can't find Dorin, causing everyone to panic that he might have climbed into an old fridge that has been taken away. Carla excitedly takes delivery of the engagement ring. She calls at the Rovers and, handing the engagement ring to Glenda, asks her to slip it into Lisa's glass of champagne when she arrives. More Trending Carla calls Lisa at work and insists that they meet in the Rovers for a drink. Will Lisa guess what is going on?

Labubu vs. 7-11: Global boom fuels Pop Mart's legal offensive against imitators

Labubu, a fluffy-eared elf character with a wide-toothy grin, has become the unassuming centrepiece of an intellectual property dispute. Once a niche collectible, the keychain figurine has evolved into a fashion-forward accessory that has garnered a cult-like following, and competitors have taken notice. Now, Pop Mart, the Chinese toy giant behind Labubu, is aggressively defending its rights. Its latest target is convenience store chain 7-Eleven. In a lawsuit filed with the US District Court for the Central District of California, Pop Mart has accused the retailer, along with eight of its California-based franchisees, of selling counterfeit versions of the popular character. With this filing, 7-Eleven joins a growing list of companies facing legal action from Pop Mart, as the brand works to solidify its position in the accessory toy market. First things first, what is Labubu? Where did it come from? And why is it so popular? Despite first hitting the market in 2015, Labubu's viral rise to fame didn't take off until early this year. Originally created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung, who based the figurines of characters from his 'The Monsters' book series, the elf-like character had initially gained modest recognition in niche circles. It wasn't until 2019, when Lung secured a partnership with Pop Mart, Labubu's commercial reach expanded, laying the groundwork for its global appeal. Now considered a cultural sensation by some, Labubu's current popularity-spike has often been accredited to an initial endorsement of the figurine by Blackpink star Lisa, whose social media posts about her own Labubus are said to have aided in the doll's trajectory into the mainstream. Other celebrities, like Kim Kardashian and Rihanna, only nurtured the hype, further facilitating social media buzz for the products. In the world of fashion, brands like Uniqlo, Pronounce and Pharrell's Joopiter bet on the doll through collaborations. Its upsurge also went hand-in-hand with a wider trend of handbag customisation, seen at recent fashion weeks. As such, Labubu can now most often be found hanging from the designer bags of their respective owners, making them the 'must-have' fashion accessory. Labubu's exclusivity has enticed trendsetters, and eventually their followers, many of whom are encouraged by the figurine's limited availability and collectible status. Pop Mart's fervour for Blind Boxes, the contents of which are unknown to buyers, further exasperates anticipation, reaffirming the intended premium status of the product. The Labubu-craze has escalated so much so that stores in regions like the UK and South Korea were forced to either halt or suspend in-store sales of the fluffy companions due to the outbreak of fights. In just a few short months, the shopping frenzy could see Pop Mart triple its half year revenue, while, according to a report by Forbes in May, the company's CEO, Wang Ning, became 1.6 billion dollars richer in a single day due to an influx in sales. An influx of lawsuits It is therefore no surprise that Pop Mart has set about battering down the hatches when it comes to protecting the IP of Labubu. The company has long initiated legal counters to companies that it alleges to have attempted to ride on the coattails of the elf's success, and such challenges have only risen as the popularity of the figurine skyrockets. Many such cases refer to claims of unauthorised sales, counterfeiting or IP infringement. Labubu takes over European fashion weeks. Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight Last month, courts in China ruled in favour of Pop Mart for two cases; one against an online platform accused of using the Labubu Sports Series without authorisation, another against merchants selling 3D-printed replicas of the products. More broadly, the region has also aided Pop Mart's attempts to protect its positioning. Recent reports have suggested that all Labubu figurines have been removed from Yiwu, a market once rife with counterfeit toys, while customs in Shanghai are said to have seized around 6,000 unauthorised Pop Mart products from cross-border shipments. Pop Mart's legal pursuits have not only been limited to China. The company has issued cease-and-desist orders against companies in Singapore and Taiwan, addressing cases related to everything from food products to influencer-related issues. Its attention has now also turned to the US, which has emerged as a leading market for Labubu. Here, sales were said to be up 5,000 percent in June compared to the year prior, according to estimates from research platform M Science, cited by the BBC. Pop Mart currently operates around 40 stores in the US, compared to 400 in China, the media outlet stated, while the resale market for the keychain accessory has simultaneously boomed. Labubu vs convenience stores The Labubu's prominence in the US as a cornerstone of the wider business only underlines the critical nature of Pop Mart's lawsuit against 7-Eleven. According to Pop Mart, the cited franchisees sold products that both closely resembled the official doll and were poor in quality, with manufacturing defects like faulty stitching and distorted heads noted within the complaint. Labubu's design is described by Pop Mart as a legally protectable trade dress, with its wide grin and pointed ears referenced as distinctive, recognisable traits that contribute to its brand identity. Images portraying the differences between the original and allegedly infringing products were shared as exhibits in the filing, as was video footage of a customer visiting a 7-Eleven store with the intent of purchasing a Labubu, only to find a poor quality alternative instead. With this in mind, Pop Mart has made claims in the realm of trademark, copyright and trade dress infringement, as well as unfair competition against 7-Eleven and the stated franchisees. The toy maker further accuses the convenience store chain of failing to exercise control over its Californian counterparts, several of which were said to be selling the alleged infringing products without interference from their parent company. Pop Mart therefore finds 7-Eleven liable for the infringing activity. In the lawsuit, Pop Mart said it was seeking monetary damages, a correction to advertising that is said to have harmed the brand and an injunction to halt future sales by the franchises of the counterfeit products. FashionUnited has contacted 7-Eleven with a request to comment.
