I thought I would repeat what I did last year (see the original thread here) and start a new thread for 2010 Slurpee promotions. Below, I will post new links to the cups as they start. I have started with the Iron Man 2 promo, including a link to the original thread started recently by "spidergoblin". Happy hunting!.....Geoff
This blog has an article about this promotion that featured cups from Yoville, Farmville, amd Mafia Wars.
Wrestling:
Business Wire posted a News Release about the WWE Cup promotion on July 26th, and this image features the cups.
KISS:
This Facebook page features the cups. This apprears to be a Big Gulp promo only with no associated Slurpee cups involved.
ELECTRONIC ARTS:
This very new promotion features 3-D lenticular cups with images from some new video games due for upcoming release. Because this promotion is very new, I couldn’t find any official info on it yet, but the cups are already trickling into the stores. I have two of the three cups I listed below – but I am not sure if there are more than three cups to the set. All I can post for links at the moment are random sites from other fans who have found the cups.
Thanks for the info. I collect all of the 7-11 Lenticular cups, so I'll be checking back here often. Any idea what the next series will be after Iron Man 2?

Funny you should ask....REALLY funny!! I asked that same question this past Thursday to the man ringing up my sale when I bought a drink and a king size Reese's to keep myself awake in bad traffic. No word of a lie, these are DIRECT quotes, this is what happened:
Me: "Excuse me; do you know when this promotion ends?"
Cash Register 7-11 Dude: "Yes!" [$1.00 discount suddenly applied to my sale]
Me: [after 1-min pause, not noticing discount] "Uh, Sir, when does the promotion end? The Slurpee Iron Man promotion?"
Cash Register 7-11 Dude: "Yes, I give promotion! 1 dollar." [points at display showing discount]
Me: "Yes, uhhhhh, thank you! But WHEN - DOES - THIS - PROMOTION - END??" [realizing he isn't English, I tap on my Big Gulp on Mickey Rourke's face and place a lot of emphasis on my words]
Cash Register 7-11 Dude: "Ohhhhhh. No no - I don't know."
Me: [smiling, leaving] "Thank you."
I swear I am not making this up. I realize that 7-11 has an old, worn-out cliche of having non-English employees, but in this case it wound up being true and this nice gentleman - I honestly thought he spoke English.
As of now, I still don't know the answer because usually each 7-11 cup promotion lasts a month and changes as the month changes.

Thanks for reminding me to update this thread. I have kinda forgotten about it because I have been largely unimpressed with this year's overall promotions. Iron Man 2 being the only film featured on cups has been a dissapointment compared to previous years when 3, 4, or more films were featured......
