"Convenience store 7-Eleven is celebrating its birthday on Friday, and to mark the occasion, stores nationwide are giving away free Slurpees (it's July 11 \u2014 7/11, get it?!).\nTo get your free small Slurpee, just show up at a store (find one here)  between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. local time on Friday. In Australia, free Slurpees are given out in November (on 7/11, as dates are formatted day/month).\nSee also: 12 WTF Free Items on Craigslist\nThis is the twelfth year 7-Eleven has given out Slurpees on July 11, but the brightly-colored partly-frozen drinks have been around since 1966. Since then, the chain has sold more than 7 billion of them, at a rate of 13 million a month (with plenty of celebrity endorsements).\nAnd if you like free stuff, you're in luck: Each day next week, 7-Eleven will offer free snacks, including cookies, more Slurpees and birthday cake-flavored M&amp;Ms. There\u2019s just one catch to this: You first have to download the company's app, which is available for both iOS and Android.\nHave something to add to this story?
