The Kwik-E-Mart Comes to Life: Take Part in The Simpsons
Friday, March 30th, 2007Here’s a fairly interesting story for you. Apparently, as a huge promotion for the show and the movie, The Simpsons will be turning some 7-Elevens into the fictional convenience store from
the show; the Kwik-E-Mart run by Apu Nahasapeemapetilon.
Customers also will be able to buy products inspired by the nearly two-decades-old show, including KrustyO’s cereal, Buzz Cola and iced Squishees (the cup says Squishee, but the contents will be Slurpee).
The chain also will use pictures of Simpsons characters to promote 7-Eleven’s line of fresh foods, such as placing the face of Homer and his classic “Mmmm . . . sandwich” quip on sandwich wrappers.
Also, there will be a staged robbery before by a Snake look alike. For those not familiar with the character of Snake, he is a jewel in the eye of the rotating penial system who talks like
he’s been surfing the waves in California his whole life.
You know, and this is embarassing to admit, but on my low days when I’m so sick of the world and everything in it, I pop in one of my Simpsons DVDs and all of the sudden I’m happy. I’ve often commented to my husband that I wouldn’t mind living in Springfield and apparently now is my chance; although I don’t think I live anywhere near one of these 7-Elevens. Ah well.
No word yet on the locations of these lucky 7-Elevens, but I’m sure if it will be in your area, the media should be big enough for you to find out.

Games and should be released on the 1st of November of this year. The game will operate on PSP and PS2. This game is causing a lot of buzz amongst gamers and Simpsons fans alike.
Personally, I’ve played the
standing testiment to the power of animation.
