Happy birthday 7-Eleven®!
 
Know what the scientific name for Sphenopalatine Ganglioneuralgia means? BraineFreeze® … which is what those celebrating 7-Eleven Day this Saturday, July 11, are likely to endure when more than 6,800 7-Eleven stores across the U.S. and Canada give away in excess of 5 million Slurpee® drinks in 7.11-ounce cups.
 
The world’s largest convenience retailer was born 82 years ago in Dallas, Texas, as the Southland Ice Company – and still calls Dallas home today.
 
 (Photo: A 7.11-oz Slurpee drink will be given away to almost 5 million customers when participating 7-Eleven stores celebrate the company’s 82nd birthday, July 11.)
 
Coined National Slurp-Day and Slurpee® Day by fans read how people across the country will celebrate:
 
Who will be the Dallas-area challenger to this fun day-trip idea?
Detroit, Mich., area:  Two friends from Detroit, Mich., will embark on a journey July 11 of epic ounces. Slurpee fans Kyle Bauer and Andrew Webb will attempt to consume 40 free Slurpees each from 7.11-ounce cups – that’s nearly 285 ounces of Slurpee beverage – from 7-Eleven stores across the state of Michigan. The two have been celebrating 7-Eleven Day in this manner since 2004, each year increasing the number of Slurpee drinks they consume.    
  
Be sure and visit a Dallas-area 7-Eleven for your free Slurpee drink before heading out on your day trip!
Participating 7-Eleven stores:  Free 7.11-ounce Slurpee cups will include a non-unique Slurpee Nation rewards code that will allow consumers to register on Slurpee.com and enter the 7-Eleven Day sweepstakes. From 7 a.m. to 11 p.m July 11, customers will also have the chance to win one of 711 Live Nation concert cash codes worth $50 toward concert tickets sold on livenation.com. In addition, customers will receive a code to purchase concert tickets to see popular bands for $7.11 only on livenation.com Saturday, July 11.
 
Too far away to make it in a day, but something going on tonight if you’re headed out of town in that direction …
Southern California “Slurpee-bration” 2009: In a pre-party this Friday night, 100 die-hard Slurpee fans who line up at the North Hollywood store will receive a one-year supply of Slurpee drinks. The event will include live entertainment and a raffle for additional prizes throughout the evening.
