FREE SLURPEE TODAY AT 7 ELEVEN (JULY 11, 2009)

Today is Free Slurpee Day in the USA and Canada. (7/11-geddit?) You can visit your local 7-11 and score a free Slurpee*. Tell me how it was, because I cannot drink them. Brain freeze, you understand. Perhaps, one day, modern medicine will allow me to overcome this cruel affliction.

Saturday (7/11) is Slurpee Day at 7-Eleven stores, and they’ll be handing out free Slurpees from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. or until supplies last.

For me, the design behind the Slurpee is better than the Slurpee itself: I like those hybrid spoon/straws and surface-tension-defying plastic domes.

Please note that the Slurpee is not to be confused with the Slush Puppie. Same genus, different species.

(* 7.11oz Slurpees: so, not very large, but hey, free Slurpee, right?)

NYC has so many fantastic local scenes, there's no reason to visit chain shops, ever.

Jordan, you're absolutely right about the local offerings that are not so shabby!  Speaking of chain stores, we get free second Jamba juice :-) around the neighborhood this weekend.

Looks like the "free slurpee" is about 3 oz worth so don't get too excited!

It was a little past midnight when I remembered it was July 11th, so my friend and I went to the nearest 7-11 to get our hands on slurpees
