2012_7_11_Slurpee.png Not only does it happen to be 7/11 (July 11) it also happens to be the convenience store chain's 85th birthday. So, they've decided to celebrate by giving away free Slurpees all day today. Brain freeze time!

The chain plans to give away 7 million of the addictive frozen treats nationwide, and why shouldn't you get one? If you happen to live or work right next to a 7-eleven, there's no reason not to stop in. The giveaway is happening nationwide from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. (so cute) at participating stores. If you need to find a local 7-eleven, here's their store locator.

Be sure to call ahead first if you are going out of your way. Not all locations are guaranteed to be participating in the giveaway.
