7-Eleven: Free Slurpee Day!!

http://news.yahoo.com/7-elevens-free-slurpee-day-celebrates-american-tradtion-000900824.html
  Today, July 11th, should be national holiday.  It is on this day, every year, that 7-eleven offers any and all customers a free slurpee.  This is not a new idea; this event has been going on for the past 9 years.  To the casual observer, giving away gratis slurpees to the thirsty public at large could seem problematic, and damaging to 7-eleven's revenue.  But according to the above article, "they sell enough Slurpees each year to fill 12 Olympic-sized swimming pools. It sounds like they can afford it." 
     Even more than the 75th birthday of 7-eleven, what today is about, above all else, is getting free stuff.  Honestly, who doesn't love free stuff??  Its the little victories in life that matter.
