    Off to find something exactly 230mm x 260mm. Also, is there a limit on height? Perhaps i should go to bunnings and buy a 230mm pipe and an end cap. A metres worth should be fine

        but it only gives two dimensions of a 3 dimensional object

          kirasuran on 16/08/2012 - 14:11

          true that, seeing as i suggested a plastic bag; but logically, you'd get caught out by one of the measurements required. i think. this is confusing

        •  
          Chivalry on 21/08/2012 - 15:16

          ok think cylinders.. ie. you have a circumference or diameter and a height. theres a cut out carboard in the store which your container has to fit through. although lots of people got away with their container not fitting through like the pic Ace provided above.

      probably something like 23 x 26cm square.
      Like 23x26cm for each face of the third dimension :)
      With a maximum of four horizontal faces.

      I think you'll find it's 230(w)x230(d)x260(h)
      They are referring to a cup hence cylinder so only give one width/depth figure, probably in the hope that people don't realise a box will have a larger volume.

    My Maths must be out… I got 13.754lt from a 230x230x260mm container!
    That's a LOT of Slurpee!! *8v/

    •  
      SYNTAX on 15/08/2012 - 21:16

      Alternatively… given the definition of a 'cup', it would seem they are aiming for a cylindrical shape, which still allows for 10.802lt!
      Would love to know how many ppl can get away with ignoring the 'cup' reference and score the full 13+litres!

      • All cups must be clean, watertight, safe to consume from and must fit within the following size dimensions: 230mm (width) x 260mm (height).

        Saw a few people last year filling up 20L esky's. A couple of them had 50L eskys but they were only half full at most. I did see two guys with a 50L esky between them that was 4/5ths full though.

        I visited about 8-9 different 7/11's throughout the day last year and most stores were fairly lenient with the restrictions. Some were just assholes though, not even allowing larger 'cups' that fit within the restrictions.

    Took 6 litre esky last year. Good times.

    Also last time they just had a cardboard cut out that was in the shape of a circle…oval? That the cup had to fit through the cut out to be considered

      Just bring something cool/easy and enjoy it, I really doubt your actually going to want those extra litres.

      Slurpees are cool but most people get sick of them after a few litres.

    Rocked up, somewhat surprised it wasn't out of stock. All flavors available. Pushed the cup (easily) through the hole, filled it up, got to the front desk. Apparently my cup was "illegal" and the cup must fit through the hole up-ways. Anyway after a couple of minutes of discussing i said "well, i'm sorry, i misunderstood the rules, do you have a sink?". Ended up giving it to me for the $2.90

      I don't get it:

      It has more usable space than it contains?

      •  
        Davo1111 on 05/09/2012 - 13:37

        i think because it has a lid which expands the capacity of it.

        If you filled it with liquid, you'd get 8.5Litres. If you filled it with something more solid you'd be able to fit 8.6L

        •  
          shaw on 05/09/2012 - 14:19

          Understood, assuming though that there aren't many materials that could fill it up to the capacity including the lid without spilling over the side before placing the lid on.

          Davo1111 on 05/09/2012 - 14:27
