All Kwik-E-Mart Managers Must Be Skilled in the Deadly Arts

cartoon-Kwik-e-mart.jpg

Here's your chance -- we never thought it could happen, but the magic of the Kwik-E-Mart has landed, temporarily, in the real world. It's a place where you can buy KrustyO's, pink donuts, and Paul McCartney may be hanging out on the roof.

Oh, and if you've found a twenty dollar bill in the street, you may just be able to bribe the guy behind to counter to make you an All-Syrup Super Squishy.

"An all-syrup Super Squishy? Such a thing has never been done!"

Kwik-E-Mart, a store normally confined to your television set, is invading 7-Eleven stores across the country; locally, there's one in Mountain View. This is of course to promote the upcoming Simpson's movie, which opens later this month. Interestingly, 7-Eleven is covering all the costs, figuring that things like having old-man Jasper frozen in the freezer and Buzz Cola in the fridge will spur business. They could well be right.

No Duff Beer, though.

Check it out: Kwik-E-Mart, where money can, indeed, be used for goods and services. Come again!

(Also: our comrades at LAist have a great photo essay on one of these in their area, and blogger Dennis T Cheung took some great pics of the Mountain View store, as did Humuhumu at Junkyard Clubhouse. Check 'em out!!)

Why are the Simpsons still around? The show stopped being funny five years ago. There I said it.

 

One of my favorites is when Apu is doin' it to the Squishee vendor. "Ooooooo Squishee Lady!"

 

D'oh!

OK Apu, where's the tofu dogs?

 

does anyone know when this promotion ends? i read a passing reference in an article saying the end of the month, but have not been able to verify.

 

Yes, the promo ends the 31st.
