    I want to be 10 and ride my bike to the 7-Eleven, but then how would I get my slurpee home? The closest one to me is the type of place you want to hang out to drink a 40 of MD 20/20, not a slurpee.

    Gee... I just stopped by my 7-11 and the guy at the counter unapologeticlly informed me that they are not participating in free slurpee day. How could a 7-11 not participate? I feel very inconvenienced by this convenience store.

    well, i guess since the only 7-11 in brooklyn (according to google) is in rockaway fucking beach nearly, i'll have to make do with gin. speaking of convenience/fast food joints and gin, if you're near a sonic, i highly recommend buying a rt66 cherry limeade. dump/drink 1/4 to 1/2, and then fill up with gin. gin & sonics are the wave of the future. i guess you can do this with a free slurpee too but i can't think of a hilarious name for that.

    Yet again, another way in which we trump you. Our Slurpees have air.



    However when it comes to Canadian Entertainers they are far superior when it comes to hot air: William Shatner, Alan Thicke, Celine Dion.

    I stopped by my small-town 7-Elven an hour ago, and it wasn't busy. Still, when I grabbed the free Slurpee cup, I heard one of the cashiers mutter to the other one "This is ridiculous," then complain about somebody who came in twice for free Slurpees.



    Know what? SCREW YOU, WAGE SLAVE! I'm an American, and I have a God-given right to a free Slurpee, so I'm taking it.



    I tell ya, the nerve of some people!

    They lure me in with this offer every goddamn year.



    I suck down my tiny 7.11 oz. free one and I invariably go back and buy a bigger one.



    NOT THIS YEAR, 7-11. Not this year.

    And where in New York is there a 7-11 anyway? I can't remember ever seeing one in the city.

    For those of you who partake in this artificial color and flavor confection and have the resultant brain freeze, remember that pressing your thumb hard to the roof of your mouth stops the pain.

    @momof3wildkids: Wow, does that really work? Since my previous method for dealing with brainfreeze has been to clench my teeth, suck in a tremulous breath, squinch my eyes shut and clutch my temples while moaning, sticking my thumb into my mouth actually sounds relatively dignified. I'm trying this today.



    Somewhat related (in the head-pressing category): if you get wasabi burn (eat too much wasabi), push on your forehead with your palm and it'll relieve the pain.

    And yes, it totally works. You must press as hard as you can however. Works within a couple seconds.

    It also freshens clothes. Simply spritz vodka on your clothing and dry in a well ventilated area. http://www.thedailygreen.com/green-homes/latest/vodka-uses-460424 Apparently this will make your stanky clothes smell better. May get you a DUI though.
