Get Sipping: FREE Slurpees at 7-Eleven On May 23

Perhaps the only thing better than a Slurpee is a FREE Slurpee, right? If you are a fan of the frozen convenience store treat, Wednesday May 23 is your lucky day: Participating 7-Eleven stores are giving away free Slurpees!
To get your free 7.11 ounce Slurpee, just show up at a participating location between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Wednesday and pour out your favorite flavor. One reason why the chain is giving Slurpees away, by the way, is because they have just released their "Slurpee Lite" endeavor, as in sugar-free (Splenda-sweetened) flavors. (Um, but you can stick to the old fashioned sugary ones for your freebie if you prefer.)
Whether or not you indulge in a Slurpee tomorrow, jsyk, the chain will do the freebie thing again, as they do each year, on "7-Eleven Day" which is, duh, on July 11th.
