Every July 11th, 7-Eleven celebrates their name by giving you a free Slurpee, and this year is no different. From 11 a.m. through 7 p.m., you can stop by any 7-Eleven and pick up a free 7.11-ounce Slurpee (it's okay, Bloomberg may even be exempting the store from his sugar ban—and there's always the Slurpee Lite). Get some Hog Dog Potato Chips while you're there—they make for an excellent pairing with the Fanta Orange Xplosion flavored Slurpee.
This year is the chain's 85th year in existence, and the year they begin Phase III of their world domination. So while you're picking up your free sugar slush drink, wish your new corporate overlords a Happy B-day.
