Summertime and all the Slurpees today are delicious and FREE: it’s 7/11 and that means 7 ELEVEN stores started giving away these cold drinks from 11A until 7P and that’s how they celebrate their nationwide store chain's anniversary.

The 7 ELEVEN City Island Images visited was located near the end of the #6 New York City Subway line. This store was giving away a few hundred an hour and their bar tender, who at first did not want his photo taken told City Island Images "I expect to serve hundreds more of these delicious Slurpees."
