Look at your calendar, folks. Note that it's 7/11, which means Slurpees are free today at participating 7-Elevens in celebration of the company's 82nd birthday. Those addicting slushy Coke drinks have become a popular summer treat and in Washington, a favorite post-hike refreshment at gas stations. The frozen drinks are free today until all 7.11 ounce cups are gone.
Here's a tip. You might have to wait awhile if you are at the 7-Eleven store west of downtown Kennewick, which sells the most Slurpees in the world, an average of about 1,000 Slurpees a day. That's a lot of brain freeze.
Note that a few 7-Eleven stores may not offer the giveaway.
