MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- The sweltering heat may have you reaching for something cold and on Monday that could be a free Slurpee to celebrate 7-Eleven's birthday!
The event, known as "Free Slurpee Day," which falls every year on 7/11 began in 2002, but the sugary, icy, slush drink has been around for decades.
Between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. at participating stores, visitors can receive a free small Slurpee drink available in various flavors. This is the 14th year the convenience retailer has offered free Slurpee drinks on its birthday.
So did you know a Slurpee was originally called an "Icee"?
It was renamed in 1967 because of the noise it makes when you drink it.
The 7-Eleven chain isn't stopping at free Slurpees just one day.
Customers are welcome to return to celebrate "Slurpee Week" from July 12th to July 18th. As part of the week, you can get 11 free Slurpee drinks if you buy 7 within the week. This offer is only available with the 7-Eleven app.
