The moral of the story? It's FREE SLURPEE DAY tomorrow, July 11, at participating 7-Eleven locations!! There are slightly more accurate and less awesome retellings of the Slurpee origin story, but regardless of the version you prefer, it's time to arm up with coasters and brain-freeze repellant in celebration of the company's 84th anniversary.
