I see a brain freeze in my future..........

@woadwarrior: Hadn't seen that anywhere until just now. I assumed it was all day, as last year my friends and I got them at our local 7-Eleven in the middle of the night, then hit a diner :) I guess you could say levels of participation may vary.

Note that the free Slurpees are only 7.11 ounces...yes, that's less than a cup. I wouldn't bother making a special trip for that.

As noted, they don't use standard cups... and they have a limited number of cups too. Last year I tried to get one at a few stores but couldn't. Our Racetrack has 32oz ICEEs for 0.96 w/tax all summer!

No 7-Elevens in the Houston area for over 10 years I thought they all went broke.

@bigfoot013: hehe...no 7-11 is nationally & internationally VERY STRONG! I guess just too many drive by's in Houston. Hell it's own residents call their Stop 'n Go's the Stop 'n Rob! Just one of the wonderful benefits of living in Houston after Katrina I guess.... Gotta love life in the North Dallas, it rules.

What the hell: In store only? No shipping?

I miss Slurpees more than anything. There's not a 7-11 inside of 75 miles anymore.

@bigfoot013: Actually, 7-Eleven has over 40,000 locations worldwide, making it number one in the world. Back in the eighties, 7-11 sold all of the stores in your part of Texas to the Stop & Go chain. They don't force themselves to remain in markets where the competitors are overwhelming local favorites, they just cede that market to them. That's one reason why they've been so successful, they don't use the profits of the chain to prop up stores with poor performance.

@woadwarrior: BrainFreeze® is trademarked by 7-Eleven. Just a fun fact.

Wow. It's just soooo great!

@cleverett: Hah, so true. It makes a kids meal cup look larger.

@smauggie: That is also true for the freebies, if you're lucky. I was once given free slices of pizza (on a non-free slurpee day) but it was pretty stale since I guess it was sitting all day. Can't complain though.

I guess it depends also on the store managers/staff, because I don't know about you guys.. but the staff at my store gives me the glare eyes when I try refilling the freebie once.

7-11's are everywhere in central Oklahoma but they are owned by a franchise that doesn't honor free slurpee day. Enjoy entire rest of the world.

@lobstrain: Posting deals before they are active is not allowed. Only stuff that is currently available can be posted.

@lichme: It's not 11am yet. Technically this is posted before the start time.

@avengerreloaded: I know, I didn't say this one was valid either, however that is why the previous ones were removed.

@malcam66: They're giving away free vodka, too?!? Roadtrip!

I know it's super cool to argue timezones, but fwiw, Woot is located in Texas (and Seattle), so Central time zones are usually a good indication of how things are judged as being "pre-deals" vs "day of". Not being around when this went up, I can pretty much go by the time stamp and speculate it was 'close enough' to midnight central it was left up. I don't know that for sure.

Seriously, people, if this stuff bugs you, then tattle. :)

@wafflesmcgee: It's my birthday also :-)

I pass by two 7-Elevens en route from walking from work to home, so I am definitely gonna double up on this deal

@avengerreloaded: It's 11:00 somewhere...

First rounds on me!

Sounds good to me...

Wow! Happy birthday to @wafflesmcgee, @menoseegood and @dpettus and to my sister and my MIL! Busy day for birthdays! (And only one day before Woot's birthday!)

Growing up in Florida, 7-11 are everywhere. Now living in Wisconsin, I find out that 7-11 bought 2 dozen or so stores in South Eastern Wisconsin. But they didn't do that until the end of June of this year. Heres to making a trek to see if is a 7-11 yet or not.

@caffeine_dude: damn shelbyvillians, always taking business away from the kwik-y-mart. shakes fist
