7-Eleven stores had a promotional tie-in with this movie. The drink
was a 7-Eleven "Big Gulp" Dr Pepper. So your answer is:
Store: 7-Eleven
Brand of Refreshment: Dr Pepper
Drink Cup Description: Big Gulp
"I remember buying my first Big Gulp at Seven-11 in 1981. It came in a
'Cannonball Run' collectors cup."

"Victor, what do you got?
A lot of goodies for you guys, and a Big Gulp Dr. Pepper for me.
(singing) I'm a Pepper, you're a Pepper, he's a Pepper, wouldn't you
like to be a Pepper too!...

"The product placement reaches outrageous proportions, to the extent
of DeLuise singing the Dr. Pepper theme song. Budweiser and 7-11 also
get huge amounts of exposure, which is the one point that really
detracts from enjoyment of the movie."
