I am totally detoxing this week after a week of champagne, panadol, hayfever tablets, vitamin C and a few other pills and capsules (all TOTALLY legal ones – I was sick, remember?) and with the weather topping 30 degrees over the weekend, what better time to celebrate the unofficial birthday of 7-Eleven: November 7 (geddit!?)

It’s cool and refreshing and best of all, Slurpee is celebrating by giving you the presents – freebies!! (and we ALL love a freebie).

Head to your local 7-Eleven TODAY, Monday November 7 and say ‘Happy 7-Eleven Day’ between 7am and 11pm and you’ll score a free refreshing Slurpee. Perfect for heatwaves AND detoxes.

Here are some more fun facts about Slurpee. Which flavour will you choose?

·         Slurpee was invented by 7-Eleven in the 1960’s, but it was on 24th August 1977 that Australians got their first taste of the iconic iced drink at the first Australian 7-Eleven store in Oakleigh, Melbourne

·         On 7-Eleven Day in 2010, 274,875 Australians rushed into 7-Eleven stores to wish staff “Happy 7-Eleven Day!” and were rewarded with a free small Slurpee.  

·         Thursday 21 September 2011 marked the inaugural BYO Cup Day and the official start of Slurpee season.
