273 Free Slushies on Lord Kelvin’s Birthday – June 26
- June 22, 2012

As all of you hopefully know, we are named after the Kelvin temperature scale and the Kelvin temperature scale was named after the handsome man in the photo above — celebrated engineer and physicist Lord Kelvin (aka William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin) who was born June 26, 1824.

Some of you might also remember from high school science that “absolute zero” (the theoretical temperature at which all molecular motion ceases) is defined as 0 K on the Kelvin scale and −273° on the Celsius scale (and −460° on the Fahrenheit scale).

So to celebrate our man Lord Kelvin’s birthday this Tuesday, June 26, we are giving away a free slush to the first 273 people that visit our big blue slush truck or the Ice Cube and say “Happy Birthday Lord Kelvin!!” Even better, if your birthday is June 26, Kelvin will give a free slush to you and up to 4 of your friends.

On Tuesday, June 26, all you have to do is follow us on Twitter or call the Slush Phone (646-200-5083) to find out where the truck will be parked — or come visit the Ice Cube at Little Red Square (Bleecker St. and 6th Ave.). Then be one of the first 273 people at the truck or the Ice Cube — say “Happy Birthday Lord Kelvin” and — BOOM FREE SLUSH! There is absolute zero charge (sorry, had to).

And if you are lucky enough to share a birthday with the Lord himself, bring up to 4 friends, show some ID, and get a free slush for you and your friends.

Happy Birthday Lord K!
