It’s also eight-time reigning Slurpee capital of the world. Come along on a journey to meet a cast of eccentric and obsessive characters, including a man calling himself the “Gordon Ramsey of Slurpees,” an Air Force Corporal with a Slurpee addiction, a KISS cover band who weave Slurpees into their concerts, a frozen drink addict turned activist, and the self-proclaimed “Slurpee King.” Welcome to Winnipeg, Manitoba. The obsessive pop culturists of King of Kong combined with a dash of Errol Morris, this is The Frozen City.
