Is a free small Slurpee worth a wait in a moderately-sized line? If the above photo is any indication, plenty of San Franciscans think "sure, why not?"

As has been the tradition since the year of our lord 2002, the chain bodega has pronounced July 11 "7-Eleven Day," with giveaways of their iconic Slurpee. This year, it's a free size small offered from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.

According to the above photo from former SFist editor Brock Keeling (whose Slurpee fondness was so strong that he made it a point to post about free Slurpee day on a regular basis), patrons at at least one downtown location were more than willing to line up for their free eight ounces of pureed ice and flavoring. So if you go, be prepared to wait.

And if you're in a really slurp-y mood, 7-Eleven says they're extending a dubious benefit to patrons all week: According to their "7-Eleven Day + Slurpee Week!" event page, frozen treat fanatics should "Come back for Slurpee Week, where you can get 11 FREE Slurpee drinks! Buy 7 between 7/12-7/18, get 11 FREE," with some fine print about a "Rewards Club" enrollment requirement and an expiration date of 8/31 to cash in your freebees.

Based on the 7-Eleven's website, there are 16 locations across SF where you can pick up your free Slurpee (their store locator is here). See you at the dentist!

Since it's July 11th, 7-Eleven will celebrate their name by offering parched folks such as yourself a free 7.11-ounce Slurpee today from 11am-7pm. While we're more of a regular Cherry Slurpee kinda guy, flavors over the years have expanded into such cavity-creating flavors as Dr. Pepper, Crystal Light, Purple Berry Cherry Fanta, and Banana Chocolate Pie. Most flavors, by the way, are kosher save for the Piña Colada, Twizzler Strawberry, Tropicana Grape Wild Strawberry and Monster Black flavors.

Find your nearest 7-Eleven here and let the brain freezing commence.

Today, Monday July 11, you'll be able to pick up a free Slurpee in celebration of the company's 84th anniversary. A 7-11 VP says in a press release that "July is the biggest month of the year for Slurpee sales," and they'll be dishing out free 7.11-ounce Slurpees while supplies last.

Sure, things are a bit chilly in the Bay Area, but that shouldn't stop you. Not at all. Slurpees are delicious. They transcend weather. Only the stuffiest and most abominable of foodie would eschew such crisp, bright flavors as Aliennade or Blue Lightning Blast (inspired by the movie Thor).

SFist urges:Hasten to the 7-11 store locator page and find the store nearest you. Got it? Now you know where you'll be going to get a free fuckin' Slurpee tomorrow. As Eater SF cleverly points out, there's a curious synergy with the name of the venue and tomorrow's date. But that's not the only auspicious element --they're also celebrating the advent of the Monster Black Ice Slurpee. Which, just, wow. This is EXACTLY the sort of thing we'd only drink if it were free, so if you're looking for us tomorrow, we'll be the one with the black tongue.
