7-Eleven is known for its relatively large drink sizes and [[24/7 service|24-hour accessibility]]. 7-Eleven offers beverages in sizes as large as 128 ounces (3785 mL) (Team Gulp). These beverage sizes were all among the largest sold soft drinks when they were introduced.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/we-have-texas-to-thank-for-the-biggest-big-gulp-84453489/?no-ist |title=We Have Texas to Thank for the Biggest Big Gulp |last=Smith |first=K.

For example, Mayor [[Michael Bloomberg]]'s [[Sugary drinks portion cap rule|proposed ban on large sodas]] in [[New York City]] was frequently referred to as the 'Big Gulp ban' (even though the ban would not apply to 7-Eleven as convenience and grocery stores in New York are regulated by the state).<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/bloomberg-on-big-gulp-law-not-banning-anything-just-portion-control/ |title=Bloomberg on 'Big Gulp' law: Not banning anything, just portion control |date=March 10, 2013 |work=[[CBS News]] |access-date=October 19, 2016 |archive-date=October 19, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161019151150/http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/bloomberg-on-big-gulp-law-not-banning-anything-just-portion-control/ |url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2012, 7-Eleven changed the size of the Double Gulp from 64 ounces to 50 ounces (1478 mL). The older style cups were too wide at the base, and did not fit vehicle beverage holders. This was not a reaction to the aforementioned large soda ban proposal, according to a spokesperson.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/06/7-eleven-downsizes-double-gulp-just-156-your-stomachs-capacity/326927/|title=7-Eleven Downsizes 'Double Gulp' To Just 156% of Your Stomach's Capacity|last=Abad-Santos|first=Alexander|work=The Atlantic|access-date=July 21, 2017 |archive-date=December 3, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171203212303/https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/06/7-eleven-downsizes-double-gulp-just-156-your-stomachs-capacity/326927/|url-status=live}}</ref>
