The slurpee saga continues.
It started when I stopped into 7-eleven on July 11 (7-eleven's birthday), only to discover that my local 7-eleven had discontinued their slurpee giveaways. How does that happen on July 11?
A few days later one of my friends informed me that David Letterman had made a deal with 7-eleven. With renewed hope I decided to give the story by my house another shot. Apparently these particular employees don't watch David Letterman.
I haven't seen the show in awhile, but I'm guessing that Letterman must have talked about the slurpee deal again last night (can anyone who saw the show confirm this)?
All I know is that my blog is currently the number one google hit for anyone searching "7-eleven letterman." This morning from midnight until 3.00 am hits were off the charts:)
So this is an official welcome to all you slurpee lovers out there! Has anyone found a store that's actually doing this thing?
It's a running joke, I was tempted since he did the gag again June 13, 2007 - see Act 4:

Answers.com explains the gag here:

It's also obvious since Jim Keyes is no longer President and CEO at 7-Eleven.
