Happy July 11.

If you're not familiar with the significance of this particular day, let's remind you. July 11 is the 192nd day of the calendar year. On this day in 1889, Tijuana was founded. Celebrities born on this day include Lil' Kim, Yul Brynner, and Suzanne Vega. It's also the day when you can get a free Slurpee.

Yes, friends, today is 7-Eleven Day, and the nation's largest source for late-night munching and early-morning coffee is celebrating by offering a free small Slurpee to everyone who asks for one today from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. No coupons to download -- just walk into your nearest 7-Eleven and you're on your way to brain freeze heaven -- completely free.

If you're looking for even more swag, download the 7-Eleven app (also free) and you'll be privy to a boatload of freebies all week long, such as Big Gulps, cookies, snacks, ice cream, and more Slurpees.

The app is available at 7eleven.com for iPhone and Android.

With the temperature soaring close to triple digits, a free Slurpee sounds like the perfect way to start the weekend.
