There's literally no better way to cool off in this hot Houston weather than with a free refreshing Slurpee.

"Free Slurpee day may be the most anticipated day of the year for millions of 7‑Eleven customers and new customers alike," Raj Kapoor, 7‑Eleven's senior vice president said in a press release. "7‑Eleven Day is a celebration, not only of our birthday, but more importantly, of our customers."

By the way, 7-Eleven has added Slurpee flavors including pina colada, blue raspberry, wild cherry and, yes, Cap'n Crunch's Crunch Berries Slurpee.

While you're there, you can sign up for the 7Rewards program. When you buy six 7-Eleven drinks, you'll get the seventh one free. That not only includes Slurpees but also applies to Big Gulps, Chillder Iced Coffee and other fountain drinks.
