Today is 7-11 Free Slurpee Day in New Jersey with Some Cool New Flavors

Author Joel Katz
Three-year-old Samantha Krass (L) and her brother, 18-month-old Devin, enjoy their slurpees at a 7-Eleven store

I have some awesome memories of riding my bike with my friends and getting our Slurpees. Back then, I think the only flavors were cherry, blueberry, and cola, but only two were available at a time. There’s nothing better for a 10-year-old on a hot summer day than sucking down my cola Slurpee!

Everybody loves Slurpees and everybody loves free stuff! Once again, 7-Eleven’s Slurpee Day is today, and here’s everything you need to know to celebrate and take advantage of the refreshing offers.

First of all, and you probably already know this, every year on July 11th if you visit any participating 7-Eleven, Speedway, or Stripes, you can get a small Slurpee absolutely free!

However, there are a couple of other ways to secure your free summertime fun fave. The first is by becoming a 7 Rewards and Speedy Rewards loyalty member. You also have the option to get your Slurpee by ordering on 7 Now.

Here’s more good news, 7-Eleven has a whole bunch of new flavors. New tastes include Sprite Lymonade Legacy, Summertime Citrus, Fanta Dragon Fruit, and Hibiscus Lemonade. We’ve come a long way from only having two or three flavors to choose from.

If you are a Slurpee super fan you can also go to 7Collections.com and get some 7 11 merch. It’s the official 7 11 shop and there are tons of unique things you can find there. This includes shirts, pants, hoodies, jewelry, pool floats, socks, bags, license plate frames, air fresheners, hats, dog bowls, and more.

Happy slurping to you and the ones you love:)

 

10 Pop Songs To Add To Your Beach Playlist Now

When you’re soaking up the sun, you’ve got to have the tunes to match the vibe. Nothing is better than being in full-on relaxation mode than having the right music playing. We know it’s tough finding the right songs to fit the mood. Plus, when you’re unwinding, who has the time to sort through your music to create a queue? To make a solid beach playlist, we’ve created this list of 10 songs that are essential to having while hanging on the beach, or even in your backyard.

Artists like FIFTY FIFTY and WILLOW instantly put us in a zen mood. Meanwhile, for those who love to party it up, Dua Lipa and Bad Bunny are right there, too, to make you shake what your mama gave ya. You can’t forget about the girls going through heartache, though. With these breakup anthems, forget about your ex and thrive. Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus have that covered. Whatever your summer mood is, we’ve got the tunes to add a ray of sunshine to those long summer days. A perfect mix combines moods (“love is great” and “love is the worst”) and different tempos. It’s also fun to stack songs by superstars and newcomers on top of each other.

Take a look below at our top 10 picks for the best beach playlist.

  • Flowers - Miley Cyrus

    “Flowers” may have been released in January, but this song is perfect for the summer. We shall never tire of Miley’s confidence-boosting line of buying herself flowers and taking herself dancing. Nothing better than self-love, baby!

  • Dance The Night - Dua Lipa

    The Barbie soundtrack is filled with summer jams, but this Dua Lipa dance bop gets us dancing unconsciously. Just like many of her other upbeat songs, “Dance The Night Away” features the iconic claps that gets the crowd going.

  • Cupid - FIFTY FIFTY

    You’ve heard some version of this popular song on social media. Whether it’s the sped-up version or the original, this cute song is perfect to unwind to. Sung by the South Korean girl group FIFTY FIFTY, they debuted in November 2022, so they’re really new.

  • Where She Goes - Bad Bunny

    When we think of summer, we think of Bad Bunny. The Puerto Rican rapper has consistently delivered music that makes us want to dance, and everyone feels that way, whether or not they speak Spanish. With “Where She Goes,” the artist takes a subtle dembow rhythm with Jersey club elements.

  • Calm Down - Rema & Selena Gomez

    “Calm Down” is the perfect song to play by the water. It’s at just the right tempo to dance or take a little nap — the ultimate chill island vibe. So if you catch us dosing off, don’t bug us.

  • Cruel Summer - Taylor Swift

    Taylor Swift has a song for every mood and season. “Cruel Summer” is one of those songs that we put at the top of our playlists once summer hits. Off her 2019 Lover album, the song is a dreamy vibe.

  • Baby Don’t Hurt Me - David Guetta, Anne-Marie, Coi Leray

    This remix of Haddaway’s “What Is Love” from 30 years ago (wow) is an example of how songs can be modernized and made better. In this David Guetta-produced track, the DJ includes vocals by English singer Anne-Marie and rising rapper Coi Leray. Fun fact, Ed Sheeran co-wrote the song! That man has his hand in every genre.

  • Wait a Minute! - WILLOW

    Before Willow Smith went full-on rock, her debut album featured this experimental pop hit, “Wait a Minute!” Breezy and uplifting, this is a song that always puts us in a good mood. Your whole beach crew won’t be able to stop themselves from belting out the lyrics.

  • If We Ever Broke Up - Mae Stephens

    19-year-old British singer-songwriter Mae Stephens’ hit single went viral on TikTok, and since then, the song has been all over the internet and radio waves. It’s a nice uplifting take on how to handle a breakup during the summer — don’t be sad, get even!

  • beachin - piri & tommy

    This pop group gives us major Pinkpantheress vibes and with their song “beachin,” made the perfect summer anthem. Their 2022 mixtape, Froge.mp3, has zero skips and are all a chill vibe you’ve got to add to your playlist.
