Why yes, I am a sucker for free things. Free shipping, free furniture, free lunches, free-dom. Buy one get one free is cool with me too. This is why I decided to stop in to my local 7 Eleven today to get my free Slurpee. I love free and I love Slurpees, so how could I go wrong?

When I asked the clerk which size I could get for free, she pointed me to the stack of short Dixie cups. Whoa! Are you sure you can spare it? I mean, those 3 ounces of flavored ice must be setting the corporation back a good $0.04 or so!

Did anyone else partake in this free gulp of nothingness?
