Seems like almost every major company this year has given away free food from ice cream to coffee to candy to a lot of chicken. The free tasty giveaways continue with Free Slurpee Day at 7-11. While most free giveaways are meant to drum up business in hard economic times or to introduce a new product, 7-11 is celebrating the name of their company since it is July 11 which translates to 7/11, Get it?
>Continuing the numerology, the offer is for a free 7.11 oz Slurpee at participating 7-11 stores on a first come first served basis. Best thing to do is locate the 7 Eleven nearest you, head over and hope they still have some icy goodness. If they are out, you can always buy a Big Gulp and a Big Bite with that goopy cheese, yum.
