Free Slurpees at 7-Eleven Tomorrow; Here's How to Make the Most of It

A smushed Slurpee cup. Don't litter, people.

Tomorrow is SlurpFREE Day at (participating) 7-Eleven stores. Things are never what they seem though, OK? Sure, a store is giving away something free, but that doesn't meant it's mandatory flip-out time. Here are a few party tips:

1. You need to know, and strongly consider, that 7-Eleven is plotting world dominance by planning to open 630 new stores in the U.S. and Canada just this year (to the great fear of mom-and-pop stores across the nation).

2. Slurpees aren't really that expensive the other days of the year.

3. Mario's has a secret ingredient in their Slurpees that makes brain freeze a non-issue.

4. If you're still set on it, know that each store only has a certain number of the 7.11 ounce cups for this event. And since it starts promptly at 11 a.m., consider an early lunch. Being May 23 does favor the workingman because the kids are still in school. Which is a point you should rub in their face if given the chance. ("Today, while you're sitting in first grade reading some lame book, I'm going to 7-Eleven.")

5. Don't let the "free" promotion guilt you into buying something else. Free is free. Stroll in, get your free Slurpee, buy nothing else, then, in an act of smug defiance, give them big eyes as you strut out.

Also, there will still be free Slurpees on July 11, as usual. The event this week is aimed at promoting a few of their new flavors, which we cussed at here.

funniest thing I ever saw was an Asian cashier at 7-11, arguing with an African dude over how to pay for gas with a credit card.....I was so mesmerized, I couldn't even move as they argued for nearly 15 minutes! The cashier even asked if I needed help, and I just waived him off.

Once a lady ordered one of those fried rolled things off the roller. Started eating it right there, then complained to the guy all loud that the monterrey jack cheese wasn't hot. He was like "it's not warm?" No! It's not spicy! I was amazed that she was arguing the flavor profile of the cheese with the 7-11 clerk.

take your free slurpee to the counter, pull out a $100 bill and ask them to break it for you.and you need at least ten $1 bills.

So tomorrow is free Slurpee day for adults, while July 11 is a sticky mess of rampant child freakout. Although in their defense, allowance means they're constantly on a budget.
