7-Eleven stores across the country are giving away free Slurpee drinks to celebrate the convenience store chain’s 90th birthday.

This marks the 16th straight year 7-Eleven has given out its iconic frozen drink on July 11 — or 7/11. The company expects to hand out 9 million free small Slurpees during the promotion that runs from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time.
