On what is arguably the best day of the summer, 7-Eleven convenience stores will once again offer free small Slurpee drinks on Tuesday, July 11.
Come one, come all. Stop by your local 7-Eleven between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 11, to receive a FREE small Slurpee in the flavor of your choice (one per person). All those delicious Slurpee flavors vary by location, of course, but the 7-Eleven website recommends their new limited-time-only Cotton Candy Slurpees! Or, choose one from an array of available flavors: Watermelon Lime Lite, Lemonade, cinnamon-flavored Pepsi Fire, Trolli Pineapple Lime, Wild Cherry, Black Cherry, Coca-Cola, Pina Colada, or (my personal favorite) Blue Raspberry. But honestly. Does it really matter what flavor you choose? I mean, have you ever met a Slurpee that you didn't like? Even if you don't eat sugar, the popular convenience store has you covered with their sugar-free Sour Grape and Pineapple Mango flavors. Then, after you get your freebie, don't forget to post a photo on social media and tag it with #7ElevenDay!
So, here's a question: With hundreds of 7-Eleven stores in the state of the Virginia, what would stop someone from, say, making the rounds and visiting multiple locations, sampling available flavors from each? Asking for a friend.
Since the 1960s, 7-Eleven stores have been serving up their slushy, frozen carbonated drinks, named Slurpees for the sound they make when being slurped up through the straw.
So what's your favorite Slurpee flavor? We'd love to hear about it (or see a pic!) in the comments! Happy 7-Eleven Day!
