True Love, Thy Name Is Slurpee

Happy National Slurpee Day! According to the 7-Eleven Newsroom,

"It’s that time of year when the sun is hot and the Slurpee® drinks are free-zing – emphasis on the FREE part. July 11, aka 7/11, is the day that 7-Eleven, celebrates its birthday and says “thank you” to its customers with free Slurpee drinks at participating stores. This year’s 7-Eleven® Day marks the company’s 81st birthday. Customers can pour their favorite Slurpee flavor in colorful, 7.11-ounce “Birthday” cups throughout the day, while cup supplies last."

I thought this might be the perfect time to declare my profound love for all things Slurpee related. It's the most wonderful of all drinks, especially on a hot, sticky summer (oh wait, but we live in a desert and it's a DRY heat, right? Whatever). There's nothing like a Slurpee to quench my thirst, cool me down, and make me smile. Slurpee, you own my heart.
