White Castle Fans Can Get Free Food This Week Even Without Buying Anything

I'm all about a made-up holiday, and while many of us in the Rockford area won't feel the love, I feel it's worth mentioning.

Growing Up, It Was White Castle Above All Else

I have advocated for some time to get a White Castle in town, but still nothing. Maybe talking about them handing out free food will get someone jazzed up enough to bring to start building. Personally, I grew up eating White Castle food even more than McDonald's. I'm not sure if it was because they were closer to the house I grew up in, cheaper, or what, but I remember eating sliders as a kid.

How To Celebrate National Slider Day The Right Way

Now, with nary a White Castle for miles and miles, I am left with only the thought of celebrating National Slider Day with the other lucky folks in America who want to join the party. White Castle created the holiday, and it's a good one, too, because while they are drumming up excitement for their ridiculously tiny mini burgers, the rest of us get to eat for free, like for real.

How To Get Free Food From White Castle

This is a no-purchase-necessary deal. To get the free burger, download a digital coupon from the White Castle website or enter the promo code SLIDERDAY in their app upon checkout.

Obviously, you aren't just going to get one slider. I wouldn't, but it's just the beginning of a larger meal, and I'm OK with that. Last thing, National Slider Day is only one day, hence the name DAY, not DAYS. It's only this Thursday, so don't miss it.

The nearest White Castle to us in Rockford is in Lake in the Hills, at 241 North Randall Road. It's only an hour or so by car, so we might as well make the trek.
