With sugary drinks under attack by health-minded party poopers, Slurpees are slashing the sweet stuff.

Makers of the icy, slushy 7-Eleven favorite will begin unveiling diet-friendly flavors next week. Sugar-free mango will be followed by sugar-free strawberry banana and sugar-free cherry limeade. Additional flavors will be rolled out through the end of the year.

Free tastings of the sugar-free mango will be available on the official launch date, May 23, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. (Get the significance of the time? Or the fact that free samples will come in a 7.11-ounce serving?)

Yea, I get this... I have the same problem when I get into my Mustang. I always just thought that was a "feature".

BMW North America has probably had to deal with plenty of  unusual lawsuits, but one filed last week may be a first — a California man says the seat on his motorcycle has given him an erection he just can’t shake.

Henry Wolf of California is suing BMW America and aftermarket seatmaker Corbin-Pacific claiming his issue began after a four-hour ride on his 1993 BMW motorcycle, with a ridge like seat.
