Perfect Weather For A Brain Freeze; Free Slurpee Day At 7-Eleven

TAMPA BAY, FL -- With hotter-than-normal temperatures expected throughout Florida Wednesday, July 11, be sure to stop by the nearest 7-Eleven convenience store for a free Slurpee.

Each year on July 11 (7/11) between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m., the national convenience store chain treats its customers to a free cup of the popular frozen concoction.

"Free Slurpee day may be the most anticipated day of the year for millions of 7‑Eleven customers and new customers alike," Raj Kapoor, 7‑Eleven's senior vice president said in a press release. "7‑Eleven Day is a celebration, not only of our birthday, but more importantly, of our customers."

7-Eleven has added Slurpee flavors including pina colada, blue raspberry, wild cherry and, yes, Cap’n Crunch’s Crunch Berries Slurpee.

While you're there, you can sign up for the 7Rewards program. When you buy six 7-Eleven drinks, you'll get the seventh one free. That not only includes Slurpees but also applies to Big Gulps, Chillder Iced Coffee and other fountain drinks.
