7-Eleven is once again inviting you to celebrate July 11 with a free small Slurpee, which you can grab at any participating store across the nation today from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. (See what they did there?)

This year’s featured flavor is Blueberry Lemonade, and the Slurpee Lite flavor is sugar-free Cherry Limeade. The Slurpees come in bright, festive cups optimized for social media posts: They're decorated with a hammerhead shark who is not only wearing a birthday hat, but also carrying balloons and a banner that reads “#SLURPLIFE.” The cup also includes “#TFW,” which stands for “that feeling when…,” as in “TFW you get a free Slurpee on #7ElevenDay.”

Along with those three hashtags, you can also add specialized GIFs and digital stickers to your Slurpee-related posts on Snapchat and Instagram, including cheerleader squirrels and hula skirt-clad oranges. 7-Eleven will also give away physical stickers in the store with your free drink. A $4 Twist & Slurp Bottle and a $2 Super Flexy Straw can take your free Slurpee to the next level.

If you’re a member of the 7-Eleven loyalty program 7Rewards, be sure to scan your app or card (or enter your phone number) when you pick up your free Slurpee today. You’ll get a coupon for another free small Slurpee, which you can redeem any time in the next 30 days. If you’re not a 7Rewards member, today may be a good day to sign up.

For those of you who might like dinner before dessert—or at least with dessert—there are also 7-Eleven Day food deals: Big Bite hot dogs and hot pizza slices are $1 each, and 7Rewards members can open their app to reveal a $1 Nashville hot chicken tender offer. If you just want dessert with your dessert, freshly baked cherry Slurpee-flavored cookies are also $1 each today.

The convenience retailer estimates that it will give away 9 million free small Slurpees today, and has sold over 7.5 billion Slurpees since the drink was officially introduced in the 1960s.

If you can’t make it to 7-Eleven today, there’s hope for you yet: Tomorrow, July 12, you can place an order in 7-Eleven’s delivery app 7NOW and receive a free medium Slurpee.

Happy slurping!
