Kwik-E-Mart

Anyone who has seen a 7-Eleven this month knows that they are pimping the crap out of the Simpsons Movie that’s opening this month. Once FOX found out that 7-Eleven was going to bear the entire financial burden, how could they say no? This, by the way, is one of the most brilliant ad campaigns for a movie I have ever seen and I have no doubt that 7-Eleven will make all it's money back just on the Squishee sales alone. They also decided to turn a dozen of their stores throughout the country into actual Kwik-E-Marts. For some inexplicable reason Portland, Oregon (home of Simpsons creator Matt Groening) was not chosen as a place for one of the converted stores. Seattle, on the other hand, was. Naturally I couldn't pass this up, so Dave and I jumped in my car and headed for the base of the Space Needle, at the intersection of 4th and Denny.

It wasn’t just the outside that was decorated; there were some new things inside too.

What would the Kwik-E-Mart be without a Squishee machine?
