This year marks the 85th anniversary of the company and the 45th anniversary of the creation of the Slurpee itself.

“This year we expect to give away 7 million Slurpee drinks, more than ever before, beating last year’s offer by 2 million," said Joe DePinto, 7-Eleven president and CEO, in a media release on the company's Web site.

The company has also created downloadable birthday attire—tiny bowties, hair bows and party hats—for folks who want to dress for the occasion. 

If you've got your heart set on a free icy drink, don't wait too long to stop by; the offer is good only as long as supplies last.
