Free Slurpees at 7-Eleven
The convenience store is running a promotion today only where you can get a 7.11 oz Slurpee for free.
Normally you'd have to wait until July 11 (7/11, get it?) to get your free Slurpee fix, but not this year.
To celebrate the launch of 7-Eleven's new Slurpee Lite (a low calorie version of the sugary ice drink), you can grab yourself an ice cold Slurpee for free until 7 p.m. today at 7-Eleven stores around the area. The promotion started, naturally, at 11 a.m.

According to TIME Moneyland, 7-Eleven has timed the giveaway perfectly.
"Marketers want to get the refreshing drinks and snacks into the heads of consumers just as the peak season for seeking refreshing drinks takes place," TIME's Brad Tuttle wrote on Monday. "Summer is also prime season for road trips, impromptu ramblings, and plenty of time hanging around doing next to nothing but trying to stay cool—all of which pair, conveniently enough, with Slurpees."

Of course 7-Eleven is trying to get you through the door, where you're more likely to buy something along with your freebie. But that, dear readers, is entirely up to you.
Enjoy your free Slurpee!
