7-11 Slurpee Day

7-11 Slurpee Day is on July 11th (7/11) annually

Slurpee Day was started by 7-11 to celebrate their Slurpees. The date is obviously on 7/11! Check out your local 7-11's this holiday date and see if you can get a free slurpee. 

The Slurpee was invented in 1966 by Omar Knedlik. He was trying to invent a way to cool his beer quickly, and came up with the Slurpee machine. The machine mixed carbon dioxide into the drink, which made it cold and frothy. 7-Eleven started selling Slurpees in 1967, and the rest is history!
