This has been a tradition for 7-Eleven since 2002, and the national convenience store chain estimates it will give away about 7 million free Slurpees when it's all said and done, according to a company press release.

A little bit of Slurpee trivia: Although 7-Eleven is 85 years old, the Slurpee is only 65. The chain began serving the flavored-ice drink in 1967, two years after licensing it from the ICEE Company, according to Wikipedia.
