Free Slurpee Day!

Today is 7/11 and for those of you who forgot or don't know it's also free slurpee's at 7 Eleven. Every year on this day they have many free slurpee's to give away for being their name. Today just so happens to mark the 84th birthday of when the 7 Eleven first opened up. 


Now with many unemployed people and it also being free you would think that 7 Eleven would suffer a lot for giving away for many slurpee's. In truth 7 Eleven makes a killing. Each year they sell so many slurpee's that they can fill about 12 Olympic-sized swimming pools. That's a lot right? Think about giving and getting. You have to give something and in return you get a profit back if someone liked that product.


This whole tradition started in 2002 on 7 Eleven's 75th birthday. Ever since then families have come on this day to grab that nice cold beverage. Now go to your 7 Eleven and get that FREE and I do mean free slurpee.
