Oh thank heaven for birthdays! 7-Eleven, our favorite late-night stop for beer and beef jerky is turning 85 today!

To celebrate the day, the 24-hour chain is giving out free Slurpees.

To mark the occasion, we've come up with enough 7/11 references in the offer to be considered conspiracy theorists:

The free Slurpee offer is good today, July 11 (which happens to be 7/11)
The offer is good for a free 7.11 ounce size Slurpee
The free Slurpee offer is good between the hours of 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.
Back in 1927, the first 7-Eleven used to operate from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.
The company plans on giving away 7.11 million Slurpees today (okay - they really said seven million -- but who's counting?)

In

any event, it's summer in south Florida and we all could use a free

brain freeze.

To make sure the 7-Eleven near you is participating check
