Free Slurpee Day
Today was 7-Eleven’s 80th birthday and, according to my count, the fifth annual Free Slurpee Day. From 7am to 11pm (so there are still a few minutes left for you stragglers) all the 7-Elevens gave away free, 7.11 oz (210mL) Slurpees. Being the Slurpee fans that we are, my friend Shannon and I went Slurpee hunting. In about three hours this afternoon we visited 10 separate Orlando-area 7-Elevens and enjoyed, you guessed it, 10 free Slurpees. Of course, this amounted to 2.1 liters of Slurpee, which is a lot, but it was quite enjoyable — well, except for the Black Cherry Lemonade flavor which was unbearable. The best flavor was the hardest to find, Banana, followed very closely by the Tangerine Lime by Crystal Lite. Ok, I may be slightly obsessed. Until next year.

Uhh…only slightly obsessed?
Sounds like you had a good time pigging out on all that though; I’m only disappointed you don’t have a list of all the flavors you tried along with comments about how each one was and a “rating” of some sorts. Obviously you just gave banana somewhere between a 9 and a 10.
Happy hunting, and keep posting…something you seem to have neglected lately. Peace.
