Word got out that on the 11th of July (7/11), the convince store/ gas station known as 7-11 has their annual 7-11 day (get it? 7-11 is the date and its the store name! Eh whatever,
I thought it was clever). And on 7-11 day, all the stores give out free slurpees for all to enjoy. It was obvious that it was my duty to help the convince store who introduced me to the delicious-slush-like beverage by joining in on the 7-11 festivities and picking up my own complementary slurpee. So Mac and I drove down to the nearest 7-11 and found that the parking lot spared absolutely no open spaces. Then we walked inside to stand behind the 20 other people that also heard about 7-11 day. The line trailed along till we finally reached the slurpee machines where we found the "free slurpee" cups. They were tiny, 7.11 ounces to be exact and it was a bit of a let down to see such a small cup, but then I reminded myself that it was free and that seemed to cheer me up instantly. We escorted our semi-liquid drinks outside where we enjoyed all 7.11 ounces of tasty goodness. We watched other slurpee enthusiasts fight for parking spots and complain about the size of the cups then we decided to renter the store for a second round of blue raspberry flavored slurpees.
Lesson of the day: I'll probably just pay the $1.19 for a generously sized slurpee next time.
