Life Imitates Bart

Finally, a reason to go to 7-Eleven besides their wonderful selection of Skoal products.

Over the weekend, 7-Eleven Inc. turned a dozen stores into Kwik-E-Marts, the fictional convenience stores of "The Simpsons" fame, in the latest example of marketers making life imitate art.

Those stores and most of the 6,000-plus other 7-Elevens in North America will sell items that until now existed only on television: Buzz Cola, KrustyO's cereal and Squishees, the slushy drink knockoff of Slurpees.

This is the single greatest thing in the history of ever.

Do the KrustyOs feature the lucky jagged metal O?

I prefer the boxes with the free flesh-eating bacteria.

I've been crazy busy lately, but now I'm back, baby! Now, where's that cake?

A friend found these pictures of the Kwik-E-Mart in Burbank.
