7-Eleven’s signature Slurpee drink turns 50 this year, and the store is releasing a special flavor to celebrate. "Fanta Birthday Cake" is a combination of vanilla ice cream and birthday cake flavors. The limited edition offering joins wild cherry, Coca Cola and "Sour Patch Redberry."

For its 50th birthday, the chain also has a special gift for customers: Those who purchase seven Slurpees between July 12 and 18 will receive 11 free Slurpees through Aug. 31.
