Today, 7.11.08, 7-Eleven locations will celebrate the company's 81st birthday by handing out free slurpees! When I was in high school, I served as Editor-at-Large for my school's super intense newspaper, The Black & White. We'd publish about every two weeks, and spend every Tuesday and Wednesday of those weeks holed up in our cozy office until 10 p.m., when we'd pack up the school's computers (I'm not sure if our adviser knew that we did this) and take them to our houses to continue working for the rest of the night.
On the way home, we'd stop by 7-Eleven for late-night snacks. My one friend would always fill up a double-gulp of Code Red, and the rest of us would stock up on Slurpees and Swedish Fish. I can't drink one without remembering how cool we thought we were, zipping around in our parents cars at 10 p.m. on a school night, sipping slurpees.
In honor of the memory I'm going to swing by a 7-Eleven today for a Coke-flavored one. What flavor will you be getting?
Earlier this week I did a post about my love of iced tea. Not real iced tea, but the fake instant stuff with tons of sugar and lemon. A lot of people couldn't understand how I could like the fake stuff. But I stand by my taste.
Who says that drinking has to start at five o'clock?
Summer doesn't officially begin for another month, but we all know it's here already. The days are getting warmer (if not hotter, like today in the Boston area) and it's Memorial Day weekend, which is the real start of summer for most people.
