Free Slurpees for 7-Eleven's birthday today!
Happy birthday to 7-Eleven, which turns 85 today. And everyone is invited to join in the festivities, which include miniature birthday accessories, chances to win some sweet prizes -- and free Slurpees for all.
America's largest convenience-store chain -- home of scary, all-day hot dogs and beef jerky bins -- is hooking up every customer who comes in between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. today with a free 7.11 ounce Slurpee. The company estimates it will give out seven million before July 11 is over, along with tiny bowties, tiny hair bows and tiny party hats.![]()
Slurpees! For Free!
In addition to all this free brain-freeze action and mini-swag, 7-Eleven is tagging certain in-store products with game pieces for its Big Summer Sweeps contest -- running through August -- so that customers can peel for chances to win a PepsiMax VIP trip package to the football championships or a BMW Motorbike F800 GS.
It's too bad 7-Eleven isn't giving away free gas, but there's always desperate hope for that on its 86th birthday.
