Today is July 11th (in the US date system, 7/11).
If you don't know, 711 is kind of a franchised convenience store (used mostly by me to purchase lottery tickets). Apparently, 711 operates in a bunch of countries (mostly North America and Asia, with a few in the Nordic regions). Apparently, there are more franchised 711s in Japan than anywhere outside the US.
Useless information: the Slurpee capital of the world is Manitoba (according to the 711 Canada site) - it is probably a weighted per capita type thing, though 8,300 Slurpee sales a month per store isn't bad.
To commemorate the day, 711 tends to give away small Slurpees for free. Slurpees are a semi frozen drink with some type of flavoring - kind of like a snow cone but different. If you want to know more for some reason, there is a Slurpee.com
This year, I got a Watermelon Sour Patch kids Slurpee.
