Much of the discussion in yesterday’s math class centered around “7-Eleven Day,” one of the great national holidays in which one can get a free small Slurpee at 7-Eleven on 7/11. That would be July 11. (Suckers in other countries who put the date first followed by the month lose out apparently.)

How many free Slurpees did you get?

How many bizarre flavor combinations did you concoct?

Never mind the things are only a dollar anyway; it’s the principle.

And the rest of the week? Not to be outdone? Wawa offering free Icees through July 18.

Keeping up with the Joneses, frozen beverage-style.

Nice.
