Yesterday was July 11, also known as 7-11.
Which explains why 7-Eleven offered free Slurpees.
Unlike most other local media, Blotch didn’t deem the marketing event worthy of advancing. Not a single Blotch blogger bothered to tip you off about the free frozen confections.
Today, we look like Einsteins.
A friend of mine went seeking said Slurpee and filed this unenthusiastic report: “After traveling to three stores, I find one who was not out, but the glass is the size of a large thimble,” he said. “Lucky I only have half a brain or I wouldn’t have gotten my brainfreeze.”
