A review of that Simpsons promotion

From x-entertainment, I need to settle down. Upon hearing about the grand debut of the greatest promotion in movie history, I hopped into my near-death '94 Saturn and drove no less than 90 MPH into NYC...all for the opportunity to drink a real, live Kwik-E-Mart Squishee.

That's right -- eleven 7-Eleven stores from across the nation have done the unthinkable. In celebration of The Simpsons Movie, they've taken down all 7-Eleven branding, brought in a shitload of Simpsons character standees, frosted the donuts pink and totally transformed 'em into Kwik-E-Marts!

I'm just thinking of all the great names for cocktails you could create with Buzz Cola...

Buzz-saw
Morning Buzz
Lethal Buzz
Rum'n'Razz-Buzz

Come to mention it, I could go for a Jack & Buzz right about now.

I found out the Burbank QEM is THE one to go to, because the Simpsons writers all live around there and autographed the walls. But I didn't know to look for that on my first visit. Maybe I'll go get a Squishee tomorrow.
