What Size Slurpee Can I Get for Free?

12-ounce Slurpee.

Because after all, you are getting a FREE Slurpee, don’t expect this to mean you can get unlimited Slurpees at any size.

You can only get one free Slurpee in the small/ standard 12-ounce Slurpee cup size.

Any Slurpee Flavors Excluded from This?

Nope.

You can select from any of the available 7-Eleven Slurpee flavor choices.

What Slurpee Flavors are the Most Popular?

Coca-Cola and Wild Cherry.

The two most popular Slurpee flavors in the U.S. are Coca-Cola and Wild Cherry.

However, if you don’t love those flavors, fear not, there are plenty of other flavors to choose from!

Any Yummy “Secret” Slurpee Flavors that Can Be Mixed?

Some of the most common include mixing Lemonade with Blue Raspberry for a delicious flavor.

Or, you can get crazy and try mixing Coca-Cola with Wild Cherry.

Since you can technically mix and match any of the flavors, you can also try adding all the available flavors into one Slurpee to create the ultimate Slurpee mix.

What Do Slurpees Costs Not on the Free Slurpee Day?

Sadly, 7-Eleven’s free Slurpee Day only comes once a year in honor of the store’s anniversary.

However, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a Slurpee all year-round, just obviously it won’t be free.

If you want to treat yourself to a 7-Eleven Slurpee on any other day (besides July 11th), here are the current prices:

– Small: $1

– Large: $1.50

– Super: $2.50

– Mega: $4.50

Slurpee prices are fairly reasonable considering the quantity you get.

Are There Any States That Don’t Participate?

Yes, Hawaii.

7/11 locations in Hawaii don’t participate for some reason.

But if you’re in Hawaii, stop instead at a tropical smoothie stand and get something exactly 837% better than a Slurpee.
