It’s July 11 (or 7/11), and that means it’s Free Slurpee Day.

And we know you like free stuff.

Mini-mart stalwart 7-Eleven is celebrating its 85th birthday by giving away 7.11-ounce Slurpees from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. today. You can find participating stores here.

What flavor will you will slurping today? (I’m partial to the tried-and-true cherry Slurpee.)

Remember: Don’t drink your Slurpee too fast. You could get a brain freeze.
