what's a big gulp
Which word is giving you trouble? Gulp or Big?
the fact that whatever the fuck is in the picture looks nothing like a drink would look in a normal country, you smug dick.
Normally it's just a large plastic cup but I think these are the reusable ones they sell some places? They don't really look the right size or design but I'm not an expert.
So the gas station chain sells you these bottles and then then you can also pay for a refill later as much as you want.
I've never seen the point and I'm straight up addicted to caffeine, the regular cups used to be cheap.
It's a depth-charge sized drink made by the 7-11 convenience store chain in the US. The biggest Big Gulp is the 128oz (or 3.5 liters).
It's just what you need if you're planning to hike through Death Valley or walk on the surface of the Sun.
I knew a guy who rigged one up with a cooling system, he only needed to get new water every couple days. I aspire for such laziness. Mind you I am the type of lazy that caused me to go into severe pain yesterday because I hadn't eaten more than one meal a day at most for like a week, I don't have an eating disorder I am just very good at procrastinating.
I saw a video of some kid hooking up a cup with a tube that fed a back-pack to load up on some special mountain dew from 7-11...
It was for internet clout surely but damn...
In his defense some of the mountain dew flavors are weirdly rare since quite a few of them even if liked are either limited run or just not common. Finding the cherry flavor or Baja blast is relatively easy but anything else is hard. I say all of this to note that I knew a guy in highschool circa 2015 who did this with a camel pack that had a broken mouth piece.
An obscenely large soda from 7-eleven. The cups in the image aren't Big Gulps technically, but they are very large drink containers, and OP is using the term Big Gulp loosely

I was hoping it was going to be this video.
It’s not just bad, it’s Fort Wayne bad.
A very large enclosed cup to hold liquids.
