When is National 7-eleven Day?

Tuesday July 11th

One convenience chain celebrates with specials on National 7-Eleven Day on July 11th. The Slurpee is one of their most popular items on the day, conveniently scheduled on 7-11 of each year.

The day is devoted to franchise clients. In many flavors, the chain sells discounts and often free Slurpees. Since July is known for its summer heat, the icy cold beverage is a popular summer drink for cooling off all summer long.

In 1966, the Slurpee debuted. Knedlik, which was used to make the Icee, was modified by 7-Eleven to make the Icee, and then branded and licensed the frozen drink under the name Slurpee, although the machine still existed. The sweet, icy drink was named for the sound it makes when it is sucked through a straw by advertising executive Bob Stanford.

Before 7-Eleven was ordered to replace ice cream headache or the more technical cold stimulus headache, the term brain freeze existed. In 1990, brain freeze was often used as a sports term to describe athletes who failed on the track. It also extended to the side effects of drugs, particularly if they affected our mental stability. Sports columnists used the word immediately after 7-Eleven allegedly redefined the word, but sports columnists quickly repurposed the word to their advantage. When they made an error, the Athletes still had a brain freeze, but the columnists argued that the player must have had a Slurpee before playing.
