Re: 7-11 - Guess what today is?
Guess what today is? FREE SLURPIE DAY!
Every year for a while now 7-11 has given out 7.11 oz slurpies at stores nationwide (well "participating locations" but yeah). I think I'll hit up a few while I'm out and about today. 
HAPPY FREE SLURPIE DAY!

*Not many 7-11's around "these here parts." Slurpies, bah -- I'd rather have a cherry Icee! 
But thanks for the heads up on the freebie.

We can only hope that the infrastructure on Mars will ever be established enough to have "planet-wide" free-slurpie days.
I wonder what CO2 ice would be like as a slurpy? Dangerous.

Mmm. Planet-wide slurpie days. That would be awesome. And you wouldn't need refridgerators to keep them cold, just have the slurpie dispenser outside. 
Of course, this will require the invention of a space suit straw type thingy, but it could work!

Re: 7-11 - Guess what today is?
We could engineer bacteria that not only cover the poles in black "dust" to make them partially melt, but to also secrete a cherry flavour. As new pieces begin to break off, we will have ready-to-serve genuine martian slurpies. Flawless.
