Okay, This is Cool Marketing

The Simpsons movie is going to join up with 7-11 to turn the stores into Kwik-E-Marts!
How cool is that? Look here:
If all goes as planned, the convenience store chain plans to refit 11 stores across the U.S. to resemble the front of the Kwik-E-Mart, the convenience store that Homer and other characters frequent in the classic cartoon TV series.
Why aren’t they doing all of them? Forever? Like you wouldn’t stop at a Kwik-E-Mart everyday. Don’t lie. You would. Even better:
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).
Yay! I want a Buzz Cola! Actually I want a Duff Beer too. And some Laramie Cigarettes. I wasn’t holding out much hope for this movie but my anticipation is now building. Who would have thought there was something new under the advertising sun? Nice work fellas.
