How To Beat The Texas Heat With Free Slurpees Today

Even though temperatures have been unusual lately, the heat this time of year in Texas isn’t just disrespectful, it’s downright evil. So, what’s the cure?

Well, besides hiding in the freezer at H-E-B, the answer is simple: Free Slurpees. That’s right, today is 7-Eleven’s annual Slurpee Day, and that means a sweet, icy cup of relief for you and me and everybody sweating their eyebrows off.

How to Score Your Free Slurpee

Stop by any participating 7-Eleven, Speedway, or Stripes store today (July 11th), and grab yourself a FREE small Slurpee. No purchase necessary. No strings attached. Just walk in, channel your inner 12-year-old, and head straight to the Slurpee machine like a boss.

And if you’re part of the 7Rewards or Speedy Rewards programs, you get even more icy perks, including a coupon for another free small Slurpee to use later in July. It's like the BOGO of brain freezes. Yes, brain freezes are worth it.

Flavor Combos That Slap

Go classic with Coca-Cola or Blue Raspberry, or live dangerously and mix ‘em all into a rainbow cup of chaos. I like the Coca-Cola flavor, then I add my own special "flavor" to it when I get it home. Hint hint. I call it a Texas Tea Slurpee. Thank me later.

Bring the Kids or Don’t—We Won’t Judge

Slurpee Day is for everyone. Kids, adults, folks pretending they’re “just stopping for gas”... Doesn’t matter. Today’s the day to treat yourself, Texas. Just don’t forget to thank the A/C gods and raise your icy cup in celebration.

Final Thought Before the Brain Freeze Sets In

Today, we chill. Literally. Happy Slurpee Day, y’all. Stay cool out there, and I’ll see you by the Slurpee machine. I promise I won't be drinking straight from the machine. Allegedly.
