this day is a day of mourning for me, for we do not live near a 711....:(

[Catboy]

I drive by 3 711's on the way to and from work... I've had 7 free slurpees all day.

[Jester2000]

My friend Alex and I have been making a documentary on slurpees, and today we did a lot of filmming.

We camped outside a 7 eleven last night and were the first ones to get free slurpees this morning right after 12:00. The annoying thing was that the 7/11 dude didn't realize that July 11th starts at 12:00 am. When we went into store and asked where the free slurpee cups were he said we have to wait until the 11th. We explained nicely over and over how it WAS the 11th. He kind of mumbled and was saying we need to come back tomorrow more mumble bumble. Eventually we just hung around right in front of the slurpee machine and talked about how annoying this all was for about 10 minutes. Then all of the sudden the 7/11 guy emerged from the back and had the free slurpee cups and mumbled about how we can get a free one. YAHOO!

The coolest thing that happened occured right after that. A policeman was buying an energy drink and we started talking to him about slurpees and our documentary. Finally he agreed to let us interview him. Right before I started taping he got a call from dispatch and needed to leave. But he kindly stayed for another 30 seconds so I could get him saying something on camera. He was definitely a nice cop.

Anyway, happy Slurpee Day.

Later,

Jess

p.s. Info about this documentary will be on primitivepictures.net probably in August or September.

Thanks to this thread the kids and I went 7-11 this evening.

The first one refused us because he didn't have the "cups". There was a group of high scool girls that came in right behind us, they left too.

I had to refill my propane tanks for the trailer and grill so we stopped at at gas station for a bit and then started driving around looking for another 7-11. We finally rememembered where another was and drove there. The same high school girls were already there, we all got a good laugh out of that.

Then on the way home we passed another 7-11, that we had compeletely forgotten about earlier, and got our second slurpee.

We decided on the next free slurpee day we're going to come back to the same store multiple times, but wearing different cloths and hats each time, and see how many times we can fill up before we're refused.

[Catboy]

I just went and got my 11th and 12th Slurpees. I've several combinations and have enjoyed every one.

Cureently I'm finishing off my 12th, Mtn Dew and Mango. It's really good.

[jagur]

thank you for this thread.

i was able to avoid the artifitialy flavored tooth rott festival all-together.


EDIT: we all know its artificialy flavored and artificialy colored, now ask yourself what you are eating?

your happy posts are the exact response the formula was created for. you will all be back!

[Catboy]

Slurpees are damn good, I could care less that Brain Freezes are just a side-effect of the brainwashing formula that jams the logic receptors in your brain, causing you to want more.


Must have SLURPEE!!!

Catboy:
12 Slurpees? That's gross. I remember when I could do stuff like that.

Jagur:
Aside from artificial flavoring, coloring, some stabilizer (to keep it from freezing solid) and the addictive drugs, you're "eating" water! Oh, and a load of sweetner.

I used to work at an ice cream store, where we specialized in gourmet sorbet (say that three times fast). The main ingredients, regardless of flavor, are water, stabilizer, and various forms of sugar (corn syrup solids, dextrose, etc.). BTW, our sorbet was "all natural." The fruit flavorings were made from real fruit, and the stabilizer was made from real guar gum, or something similar!

[darchibald]

I have never had a slurpee. Slushies yes, but I doubt they are the same.

David

[James_Potter]

actually, I'm with darchibald....I've had plenty of slushies, but are they really the same as slurpees?

Not at all. The consistency is a little closer to snow cone. And the flavor is much better.

Join the Slurp!

[digitalattrition]

I got 2, bought 7 bottles of bawls, and tim, jim, me, and my girlfriend almost got in a car accident.*




*- said incident was not contributed to by the consumption of slurpees or bawls.

That was definitely a good one though.

[UniBrier]

It's 7-11 again! Does this happen every year?

Time to find a "participating" store. We struck out on a few stores last year but ended up with at least two free 7.11 oz slurpees.

[forrestunifreak]

Hey, we don't have a 7 11 around here..... :(

[juggle508]

I have one like a block away. How do you know if they are participating?

KH.

[UniBrier]

Road trip until you find one.

[juggle508]

Ugh, ours here didn't participate.

KH.

[burjzyntski]

gah. I wish I had known about this earlier...!

[trials_uni]

Ha...I got 5 free Slupees today...It was sweet. MMMMM so much Slurpage, lots of annoying Brainfreeze though*Owch*

[Mike_Foote]

I love slurpees. I want to be a flavor enineer for 7-11 and make new flavors, what a sweet job that would be.

And of course, I am getting my free slurpees!

[monkeyman]

Hey, we don't have a 7 11 around here..... :(
-snickers-
Montana...
:rolleyes:

anyway, you could just make your own slurpies....it's not that difficult, and they taste better, because you can do whatever you want with them!

[ice_cold_uni6]

we have some generic corner gas-and-go store we refer to as 7-11. i rode down there to find it is not an actual 7-11. they do hav (non-free) slurpies though.

[terrybigwheel]

HERE IS A LINK TO THE PROMOTION!!! (http://www.7-eleven.com/newsroom/articles.asp?p=2302)

FREE SLURPEES!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

That promotion is from 2004! Is it still in effect for 7/11/2006? WOnder if the local one in my area still has Tuna-flavor slurpees! My personal favorite flavor is the famous "Salmon-Swirl" slurpee! OF course, the "Super-Salty" slurpee is a close second.

[one wheely]

:( It's the 11th of the 7th here!!!:(

Maybe on the 7th of November i'll get my free slurpee.

Theres only one store i know of though far far away....

I CAN'T WAIT-:)

[Catboy]

I was considering remaking this thread this morning when I got my first free slurpee of the day, but I am glad someone revived it! Hooray.

[Goats_On_Unicycles]

um...hiya cats, what's a slurrpee? are they good? do goats like them?

[iridemymuni]

it would probably kill a goat.

AND NOW YOU FRIGGEN POST IT, it's the 12th over here. damnit.

[mawesome]

Yeah, ARRRRRGGGGGGHHH!!!!
Oh well, yesterday it would've been 11/7, maybe we get it in November in the backward-dated countries.

[UniBrier]

I planned on surprising the kids to a free Slurpee after Uni practice last nite only to find out they already had gotten one that afternoon. I found my free Slurpee at the second store we tried.

It will be another year for my next Slurpee brain freeze.

[mornish]

No more free slurpee:(

[Catboy]

bump- It's hours away!!!

[MuniAddict]

Ohh how exciting! I've been waiting all year for a break like this! Imagine not having to raid your piggy bank for a few dimes and pennies to actually buy one...now tomorrow it's free! YAY! Now with all the extra money I'll save, I can finally get that last $1,500 DM uni that UDC has been trying to get rid of since 1988! ;)

lol that those few dimes and nickels allocated to slurpee consuming has prevented your dream unicycle.

shouldn't your name be SlurpeeAddict!

Haha...is this free slurpee day still going on?

[unicycle6869]

Dang it. Since I have been living in MN for most of my life where they don't have 7-11's, I was looking forward to this day now that I moved to sunny California where they have them everywhere. But now that I am at NAUCC in South Dakota where they don't have 7-11's, I again can't take advantage of this deal. Guess I'll have to wait till next year....

[Triball]

Uhm, I wish we had that here. I just finished mowing the lawn and a slurpee would be nice (not that I know how one tastes, it just seems refreshing)

[Poseidon]

Might have to go get one today... Muah. Maybe 6, or 7... or 8...

[Into the blue]

7-11s?
Slurpees?

[Poseidon]

7-11 is a gas station/convienience* store that sells slurpys. On the 11th of july they give away free slurpys. (A slushi drink much like like a smoothie but artificially flavored. They sport flavors such as Mountain Dew and Cherry, and Mango, and some others.)

[siafirede]

7-11s?
Slurpees?


It would be like going into the Kwik-e-mart and getting a squishee.

[unibikeling]

i would go to a 7/11, but the closest one is like 90 miles away. My moms going to be around that area today i think, and said if she sees a 7/11, shes going to get me a slurpee lol.

[Unitik908]

ditto...

Chase

same still holds true... 3 years later

Chase

[mornish]

I am missing it because I am in France.

OH THE SHAME :(

[1-wheeled-grape]

Wow the Simpsons language is known worldwide! Half the time my friends just burst out with quotes from the Simpsons and we all know instantly what we're on about... Its hilarious!
Slurpees sound good... mmm mountain dew... :D

[Pigs on Unicycles]

It's awesome that 7-11 is giving this deal, but you guys are basicly stealing slurpees by taking more than one. If they are genurus enough to give you a free slurpee the least you could do is obey the one per person rule. How would you feel if you had a few 24 packs of beer and told every one that they could have one and some guy came and took all of them. You would feel riped off, like you payed just for that guy. No one else would get any and he would just hog them. Just so you know I have yet to get my first free slurpee and I'm quite sure that I will have only one.

Pigs

P.S. How come you guys say last night, today is the eleventh?

I did not know that.

Yeah, thats why I used the example. A friend came from England a while ago and was amazed when he saw slurpees were real. He of course was thinking about squishees, but didn't know that the Simpsons got the idea from slurpees.

They are....alright. I used to crave them when I was younger, but there are better slurpee-like drinks...like Slush Puppies. I don't know if those are still around though, I haven't seen them forever.

[Kilian]

me and my family r about to leave and get our free slurpees:D

[hobo_chuck]

The closest 7 11 is an hour away...:(
I win. My closest 7-11 is three hours away, going a constant 55mph.

EDIT: You DON"T want to go much faster... You would be thrown clear of the guardrail before you knew it.

Also, at that point it's not a free slurpie, it's a $25 one.

[Into the blue]

Now you're talking.

Any drink that leaves your tongue purple is fine by me.

[fatlardboy13]

got mine:D

[Kilian]

got mine to ill probably get another one later tonight

[MuniAddict]

7.11 oz. Pretty small lol! Not exactly a "big gulp!" You could make the rounds if there are lots of locations, if you want more than one.

[_Ground_Zero_]

I am missing it because I am in France.

OH THE SHAME :(

Not missing much except 7.11 oz...It's like a mouth full. Eh, that's why you sample flavors and make it 12 oz:p

7/11/08 was hell for me and Any_Terrain. We decided around 7ish we were gonna get slurpees. Not knowing where the closest 711 was, we decided to give Google Maps a look and typed in the starting address and then "711 [insert town name here]) and looked at which was the closest. The closest was for some reason option 9 which was on 711 [insert street name here], only 4 miles away. So we decided to bike there, and after traveling through the busy streets, side streets, and getting off by some angry black lady in a car, we arrived near where it should have been. A shocking discovery came upon us that Google Maps had deceived us and sent us to just the address 711 street. At first we thought "oh how clever to have a 711 at 711 street" but now we were pissed at google maps. After traveling back from our 8 mile bike journey, we stopped back at Any_Terrain's house and waited for his mom to drive us to a 711. At the first 711 we came to, the machine was (get ready for this) "out of order" which meant
1. They ran out of slurpee
2. It broke from over-use...?
3. The guy working there or the manager told him to make the machine "disabled" so they wouldn't have to give away all their precious slurpee.
After that we decided to give it another shot and went to another 711 a few minutes away. FINALLY, the moment was fulfilled as we received our 7.11 oz cups for our free slurpees. In the end, we decided, "to hell with these" and got 28 oz slurpees and our 7/11 holiday was completed.



^^^wow I'm bored to have written that... Short story, Google Maps SUCKS.

[hell-on-wheel]

Holy crap, am I really the first to mention free slurpee day this year? I've had 6 so far. Suicide of Pina Colada/coke/wild cherry is my fav. Goji berry kinda sucks. I've been pacing myself, but can still probably squeeze in 4 or 5 more.

[surfer1024]

I went to multiple 7/11s tonight and they were all out of the cups. Of course the key word is tonight. :(

[tobbogonist]

If only I had a 7/11....

What so you could loose money by giving out free slurpees all day?
