Slurp's Up

Today's 7/11, which means it's the annual FREE SLURPEE DAY at your favorite neighborhood convenience store.

7-Elevens are pretty ubiquitous, but here's their store locator in case you're not sure where the closest one is.

This might be a good day to check out the Kwik-E-Mart inspired 7-Eleven in Bladensburg, one of just twelve in the country.

Here's the thing, though. Area 7-Elevens tend to be inconsistent on whether they're participating in the promotion or not. According to an LA-based food blog, if you show up and your 7-Eleven says it isn't participating, you can call 800-255-0711 and receive a free Slurpee Coupon. Suburban outfits tend to be more likely to participate than the DC ones, it seems.
