It's a national holiday of sorts, July 11th, or 7-11. The day that everyone can enjoy a free 7.11 ounce Slurpee at any participating 7-Eleven location. Derek & I went over and got our freebies earlier today and we had to have a rematch or our last Slupee-chugging contest.

Check out the video below, I think my insides still hurt...

I still can't believe seven ounces of frozen goodness can cause that kind of pain. We did down them in 30-seconds which beat our last time by about 10-seconds. Go us.

And I guess I have to concede that Derek is officially a much more efficient Slurpee-chugger than I.

Any ideas on what other contests you'd like to see us square-off in?
