Simpsons at 7-Eleven.

[unbibium]

The 7-Eleven by my house is perpetually out of Simpsons schwag.  Apparently I'm not the only one who thinks it'd be neat to have some Buzz Cola lying around, even if Buzz Cola is barely ever mentioned on the show. 

No Duff beer has made it into the third dimension, because the movie's PG-13.  BOO!  But if the rumors about Bart's wang are true, this means that America's chief taboo has officially shifted from nudity to substances.  With smoking bans being passed in many states, and DUI crackdowns, it looks like it's headed that direction.

You know what they had plenty of left?  Donuts with pink frosting and sprinkles.  I don't remember seeing them before, and they matched the promotional graphics, but I guess either nobody recognized them as being from the Simpsons universe, or I showed up right after the following morning's supply of "fresh" donuts came in.  It was 11pm.

I did not make the clerk say "Thank you, come again," even though he had the accent.

My local 7-Eleven is in fact one of the Kwik-E-Mart conversions. Probably has something to do with it being within 4 blocks of three TV stations. It, too, is overrun with merchandise, though they only ran out once. Now they have enough Buzz Cola to fill my entire cubicle, either in cans or in pool form. Haven't seen Krusty-Os in a few days, though.

Also, no Laramie cigarettes! No tomacco in the fridge section! And don't you drink better beer than Duff could possibly be?

My Kwik-E-Mart is loaded with Simpsons merch, including the following talking items: wallclock, keychain, bottle-opener, mug, and pizza-cutter. Yes, a talking pizza-cutter. The wall-clock is pretty sweet, but not $25 sweet.

And for some reason it's packed to the gills in the afternoon, but dead all morning.
