When I was little, one of my favorite summer traditions was walking with my mom and sister, in the Illinois heat and sunshine, to the nearby 7-Eleven for a Coca-Cola Slurpee. I savored the refreshing flavor all the way home. I also loved the spoon-like straw!
To celebrate its 82nd birthday, 7-Eleven will be giving away free Slurpees today – July 11.. Get it? Awesome, huh?
As fate would have it, we’ve moved to a new house that has a lovely 7-Eleven right down the street, so I’ll be enjoying a nice summer’s walk and refreshing drink today. Will you?

Oooh, thanks for the heads-up! On 7/11 last year I found out they were giving freebies, but I didn't find out until late and by then they had run out! Waahhh! But not this time!!!

Yvonne Anderson says
Cherry sounds good!
Although it's a bit cold here in New Zealand for a slurpee, it reminds me of my Australian summers….
Brandie says
We don't have a 7/11 in my town or I would have been all over this! I too have many good childhood memories associated with slurpees.
Thanks for the comments and adding me to your blog roll! It made my day 🙂
Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
