Whether you bask in their frostiness on the reg, reserve them for the occasional impulse buy to sweeten the tang of your hot dog flavored potato chips, or use them to bribe your children to just please be quiet for fifteen minutes, Slurpees have cooled this nation off since 1967. On Monday, you'll be able to pick up a free 7.11 ounce Slurpee in celebration of the company's 84th anniversary. While those cool new dual-chambered cups with the "valve thingy" won't be given away, a source tells us that two free Slurpees with two straws would create the same taste bud-shattering effect. more ›

We suggest you follow Bart and Milhouse's suit and order the Super Squishee (made entirely of syrup) and "go crazy, Broadway style." more ›
