Did you notice the date?

Asked by KRD (5274points) July 11th, 2023

It is 7/11 and that is the same number as a gas station called 7/11.

It’s also the same as a common convenience store.

7–11 used to be the hours it was open, until they went 24 hour.

7 – 11 is also a dice game. Come 7 or 11!

And 7 and 11 are neighboring Prime numbers.

It’s National Slurpee Day.

7-Eleven… There are a couple of those stores nearby my home. Maybe I’ll celebrate by buying a whole bunch of wrinkled, greasy hot dogs, rolling around on heated rods.

Of course, in many parts of the world, today is 11–7. I guess I’ll pass on those hot dogs after all.

We have none here, enjoy. I miss Slurpees.

Nice to see you post @KRD.

For sure. It’s the anniversary of the day at the end of high school my friend Sean and I biked to every 7–11 in Ottawa and got a free slurpee at each one. Epic day, despite the rain. Thank you Peter for the coffee, robes and dryer.

I miss slurpees too. I’m diabetic and I don’t understand why they can’t make a diet slurpee. They have diet Coke. Oh well, in my neck of the woods we have snowballs which are actually better although only available in the summer.

Yes. And it was Slurpee Day

So according to Joe Biden you have to speak with an Indian accent to go into one of those stores. Do we all have to start using our Indian accents?

@seawulf575 Please don’t hijack the thread with your anti-Biden smears.

I didn’t have a Slurpee on the 11th, but I did enjoy a shaved ice…a much better choice.

Hubby and I went to a late-afternoon baseball game in some blisteringly-hot, sunny weather. There was a shaved ice truck at the game, and I made a beeline for it. Great stuff!

No. 7/11 isn’t relevant here.
