Welcome Slurpee hunters, this post is from 2005, but we have a 2006 Slurpee post. That post also has info on how to get a free Slurpee if your 7-Eleven isn’t participating. For 2007, I give a quick tour of the Kwiki-E-Mart

Today being 7/11 and all, 7-Eleven the store is serving up free Slurpees. Continuing our tradition here of alerting our fine readers to free corporate giveaways, I thought I would let you all know. more info from the 7-11 press release

Slurpees and I have had an up and down relationship. The sugary sweet frozen treat can soothe the summer heat, or overpower my glucose intake valve.

The consistancy of Slurpees are in the middle of the frozen beverage range, with Icees being light and airy, and Slush Puppies having a more granular texture. In general, I prefer either of those over the Slurpee, but we’re not talking gourmet dining here, there is plenty of room for variation.

Finally, if you are going to sidle into 7-Eleven, grab a cup, pre-apply the lid and pull down the handle to squirt the frozen flavor bomb, at least go for the grade school classic. Mix equal parts Coke and Cherry, and fill it to the brim of the domed lid. Take your Spraw (spoon/straw), sit on the curb and drip all over while dying your tongue with the headache inducing Slurpee.

The free Slurpee offer is for a 7.11 ounce cup

[update] This was too good to leave in the comments: This is a website about brainfreeze. I made a movie at a seven eleven where I asked some people to get brainfreeze. They did, and it was awesome!!!. Thanks Why We Type!
