7-Eleven gives Slurpees away today to redheads

Sarah Stowe

From strawberry blondes to crimson haired beauties, any man or woman, boy or girl, sporting red locks of any description will receive a free medium Slurpee of their choice on the redhead Prime Minister GillardÍs first official day in office (Wednesday 8 September), just for declaring ïItÍs a good day for redheadsÍ when they enter a 7-Eleven store.  

Tracy Hammon, the franchise convenience chain’s public affairs and communications manager said ñWe thought about offering free raspberry flavoured Slurpees to all customers, but thought no, ïLet the redheads have their day in the sun,Í…they donÍt have it that often, do they?!î  

7-Eleven has stores across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

The offer was announced via social media forums late Tuesday 7 September following Katter, Windsor and OakeshottÍs historic decisions, and has already received a roaring response from Slurpee fans.
