7-Eleven is giving away free Slurpees to customers who stop by participating locations between the hours of 11 a.m. and 7 p.m today.
The free icy drinks are meant to celebrate the convenience store’s 85th birthday. Tracing back to 1927, 7-Eleven originally opened in front of a Dallas ice house.
Locations for your nearest 7-Eleven can be found here. Given how fast these things could go in this heat, calling in advance might be a good idea.
“This year we expect to give away 7 million Slurpee drinks, more than ever before,” 7-Eleven President and CEO Joe DePinto said in a press release on the chain’s site. He said he expects to beat last year’s offer by 2 million.
But anyone hoping to gulp down one of these tasty frozen treats had better hurry: 7-Eleven reports they will only be available while supplies last.

perfect time for the yidishe families with many kinders
Is it kosher?
of course its kosher what stupid question is that. it is on matzav.
It doesn’t paas for a ben torah to go in to such a store.
To #2:
Yes it is, but not sure of grape flavored. Check Star-K or OU site for details.
What a kiddush Hasaem when yidden flood 7/11’s, in order to get a 7 ounce free drink, naturally not making any purchases while there.

Is it kosher?
The answer to that is very, very simple: ask your local posek.
I really am surprised that you publicly ask such an elementary question.
To #6: Excellent point.
Why would a ben Torah want to even drink a mashkeh with a name like that? Not very eidel…..
Check out 7-11 on Ave M, and you will see many Yidden who make 24hr purchases including coffee, quick pharmacy items, juice, water, etc.
JOSH why so negative?
#10, its not negative, its a fact. People would just go for the free slurpy. Why would they not? If a local bagel store was offering free bagels, would you not go just for that?
